It is probably most notable for its relationship to the movie Goodfellas is a 1990 film about the mafia directed by Martin Scorsese. It is based on the book In the film Henry Hill, played by Ray Liotta, becomes involved in the mafia at a young age: as he says in the film, As far back as I can remember, I... Goodfellas.

Witness Protection Program, while My Blue Heaven starts out Hill's life after the move. Goodfellas stays much closer to the facts of Hill's life, but a lot of Hill's experiences are reflected in the latter film (an in addition, My Blue Heaven flashes title cards on the screen listing the chapter headings in Hill's books.)

Her parents, Henry Ephron and Phoebe Ephron were both successful screenwriters. She is best known for her romantic comedies. Nora Ephrons second husband was journalist Carl Bernstein.
