Rob Reineris spilling secrets about his classic filmWhen Harry Met Sally.
The film celebrated its 30th anniversary over the weekend, and Reiner, 72, revealed the happy ending in whichMeg Ryan‘s Sally andBilly Crystal‘s Harry end up together wasn’t originally in Nora Ephron’s script.
Reiner toldCouchsurfing‘s Lola Ogunnaike the film didn’t originally end with Harry and Sally marrying as they watched a clip of the film’s ending on the program.
“Now, this is interesting that we’re watching this scene because I’d been married for 10 years, I was single for 10 years and making a mess of my personal life, in and out of relationships and not being able to make anything work,” Reiner said.
He continued, “And when the first draft of the script, or the draft we were going to shoot, Harry and Sally don’t get together. They meet each other years later and walk their separate ways.”

That all changed when he met his wife, Michele Singer Reiner.
“I met my wife while making the movie and we changed the ending and this is what we came up with,” Reiner said. “Billy came up with some of this dialogue and that’s how we decided to end the movie, that they do end up together.”
Some brave fans of the film went to the iconic Katz’s Delicatessen in New York City where Ryan’s infamous orgasm scene was filmed toparticipate in a fake orgasm conteston Friday.
