Famous Movie Lines That Were Actually Improvised

When Harry Met Sally

Meg Ryan was a staple in romantic comedies during the 1980s and 1990s, in part due to her authentic appeal and relatable performances.

In 1989, she starred opposite Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally. In the script, there was originally no line for Crystal to say about eating Ryan’s pecan pie, but the veteran actor decided to improvise.

“I would be proud to partake of your pecan pie,” Crystal said, and Ryan giggled at the silliness of it, leading to a take that director Rob Reiner decided to leave in.
