Sad to hear about Lynda Obst passing

I met Lynda around Nora Ephron's NYC-based films when I was starting out. She was a trailblazer - a tough, talented woman who made great movies. She left a great producing legacy. RIP. https://deadline.com/2024/10/lynda-obst-dead-sleepless-in-seattle-produc...

Lynda produced some of my favorite movies! Rest in peace Lynda and may your family find peace and comfort in knowing that you lived a great life!

One of the all time greats. Her book "Hello, He Lied" is a pure ode to the grit and determination it takes to make it in this industry. She'll always be one of my biggest inspirations. Sad to hear of her passing. Rest in Peace.
