"LUCKY GUY" is the name of Nora Ephron's new "bio-drama," a play about Pulitzer-Prize-winning newspaper columnist Mike McAlary, famed for covering crime stories for New York tabloids including The Daily News and The New York Post. Michael Riedel says Ephron is "a tabloid baby herself, having worked at the The Post in the 1960s."

Tom Hanks, who starred in two of Ephron's movies, "Sleepless in Seattle" and "You've Got Mail," has signed up to make his Broadway debut in "Lucky Guy" next season.

June 26, 2012: Nora Ephron, sad to say, has died today. Two early appreciations, here and here, and another photograph, below:
