Happy 30th, #WhenHarryMetSally! “I’ll have what she’s having”: How that scene changed the way we talk about sex

Did you know Nora Ephron didn't write that scene? It was a group effort: Director Rob Reiner felt the movie needed to reveal a surprising truth about women that made men deeply uncomfortable.
The film’s producer’s girlfriend’s sister -- model and actress Dani Minnick -- was the one who suggested Harry and Sally discuss women faking orgasms.
Meg Ryan said Sally should act out a climax in a public place. And Billy Crystal came up with the line “I’ll have what she’s having” and suggested that Rob Reiner’s mother say it.
PS If you live in New York, Katz's Deli is holding a contest today for people to do their best Sally impression. nypost.com/2019/07/11/kat…
The deli's owner says that already happens “at least once a week, if not more, and more likely at 3 in the morning than 3 in the afternoon. It’s from men, women, people young and old. We’ve seen everyone do it.” #WhenHarryMetSally
