Tuesdays in September here in the vault have been designated as an In Memorium series featuring celebrities lost in 2012. Today I’d like to shine a light on writer, producer, director Nora Ephron by covering her highest-grossing feature.
On Christmas Eve, a year and a half after losing his mother to cancer, Jonah Baldwin (Ross Malinger) calls up a national talk radio program in search of a new wife for his despondent father, Sam (Tom Hanks). The heartbreaking story told by Sam, dubbed Sleepless in Seattle by the host, infatuates hundreds of impassioned women across the country, including recently engaged Baltimore reporter, Annie Reed (Meg Ryan). Annie’s deeply in love with her delicate beau Walter (Bill Pullman), but finds herself drawn, as if by magic, to this somber man she’s never met.
