("Coming Around Again" by Carly Simon) (background music)

00:00:02.551 --> 00:00:15.643
Ladies and Gentlemen...Nora Ephron!

00:00:15.643 --> 00:00:19.683
I loved working with Meryl Streep

00:00:19.683 --> 00:00:23.019
First, I worked with her on "Silkwood."

00:00:23.019 --> 00:00:32.144
Alice Arlen and I did a script for her.

00:00:32.144 --> 00:00:41.219
But the true stretch, if I do say so, was playing me in "Heartburn."

00:00:41.219 --> 00:00:45.729
I highly recommend having Meryl Streep play you.

00:00:45.729 --> 00:00:54.996
If your husband is cheating on you with a car hop, get Meryl to play you. You will feel much better.

00:00:54.996 --> 00:01:07.048
If you get rear ended in a parking lot, have Meryl Streep play you. If the dingo eats your baby, call Meryl.

00:01:07.048 --> 00:01:22.185
She plays all of us better than we play ourselves. Although, it's a little depressing knowing that if you went to audition to play yourself you would lose out to her.

00:01:22.185 --> 00:01:32.315
Some days, when I am having a hard day, I call up Meryl and she'll come and she'll step in for me.

00:01:32.315 --> 00:01:36.315
She's so good people don't really notice.
