If Nora Ephron belongs on that list, then Joan Micklin Silver (director
of inter alia _Hester Street_, _Crossing Delancey_ and the TV adaptation
of "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" with Shelley Duvall that was part of the
"American Short Story" series) certainly does. This is what is known in
the business as an a fortiori argument.
