Meg Ryan fakes a loud orgasm in a crowded restaurant. (video below) |
Billy Crystal has revealed the behind-the-scene story of one of Hollywood's iconic comedy scenes from the 1989 movie When Harry Met Sally.
In the scene Meg Ryan fakes a loud orgasm in a crowded restaurant. After her orgasms end, an elderly woman at the next table turns to the waiter and says: "I'll have what she's having."
In his autobiography Still Foolin''Em, which released last Thursday, Billy Crystal says it was not an easy scene to shoot as Meg Ryan kept underplaying it.
An exasperated director Rob Reiner gave a demo on how to do it. He sat opposite to Billy Crystal and began shouting and banging the table in sexual ecstasy. Meg Ryan still took an entire day to get the mufled screams right.
The orgasmic scene, was filmed at Katz's Deli in New York. The elderly woman incidentally was Rob Reiner's mother Estelle.
