Nora Ephron got her own back on philandering husband by writing her 1983 novel, disguising the names but essentially writing a roman a clef about her marriage to journalist Carl Bernstein, who threatened to sue her but never did. She had co-written Silkwood in 1983, also directed by Nichols and starring Meryl Streep.
Photographed by Nestor Almendros and edited by Sam O'Steen. With Jeff Daniels, Maureen Stapleton Airport, Reds, Interiors, Cocoon, The Money Pit), Stockard Channing, Richard Masur, Milos Forman, Catherine O'Hara (recently seen in in The Studio and Away We Go - as John Krasinski's mum, Home Alone).
Amazingly coincidentally, it was Natasha Lyonne's debut! She appears uncredited as Meryl Streep's niece, and therefore I'm thinking this must be her:
Nicholson replaced Mandy Patinkin after one day's filming, but filming was hampered by script problems - Bernstein was threatening legal action so his character's part had to be toned down, not leaving Jack with that much to do.
