Our hearts are breaking!

Nora Ephron, the genius screenwriter behind When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and Julie & Julia is severely ill and not expected to survive throughout the night.

We hear cancer is the culprit behind the 71-year-old's condition, though it's unsure which kind.

Family members are telling close friends so they can prepare for the worst.

Our thoughts are with all of them. We hope they can find peace with the situation.

Emmy Award-winning Kathryn Joosten, who, in a devastating case of life imitating art had us choking back tears during her character Karen McKluskey's death scene on the series finale of Desperate Housewives, passed away in real life yesterday after losing her battle with lung cancer at the age of 72.

According to her rep, the actress - who was also known for her roles on The West Wing and Scrubs - was surrounded by her family in her Westlake Village home in El Lay at the time of her passing.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of her relatives, fans, and loved ones during this time.

May she R.I.P.
