Estelle Reiner Katz Deli Line

In "When Harry Met Sally...", the older woman at Katz's Delicatessen who says, "I'll have what she's having," was director Rob Reiner's mother, Estelle Reiner. That iconic line was not in the original script, and Billy Crystal suggested it after he and Meg Ryan improvised the entire fake orgasm moment. The American Film Institute later ranked the quote #33 on its list of top movie quotations.
