Estelle Reiner dies at 94


Estelle Reiner, 94, the comedy matriarch who uttered the famous line "I'll have what she's having" in the movie "When Harry Met Sally," died Oct. 25 at her home in Beverly Hills, Calif. No cause of death was reported.

Mrs. Reiner was the wife of actor-director Carl Reiner and the mother of actor-director Rob Reiner, who helmed "When Harry Met Sally" (1989).

In the film, Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal are sitting in a restaurant arguing over whether women can realistically fake orgasms when Ryan demonstrates that they can.

After Ryan's vocal display, Mrs. Reiner, seated at another table, quickly says, "I'll have what she's having."
