LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Estelle Reiner, who uttered the famous line, "I'll have what she's having," after watching Meg Ryan fake an orgasm in the movie "When Harry Met Sally," has died. She was 94.

Reiner, the wife of actor-director Carl Reiner and mother of actor-director Rob Reiner, died Saturday of old age at her home in Beverly Hills, her nephew George Shapiro said.

Besides a handful of movie roles, Reiner was a painter and late in life became a jazz singer. During the Vietnam War, she was one of the organizers of the group Another Mother For Peace.

In "When Harry Met Sally," Ryan and Billy Crystal are sitting in a restaurant, arguing over whether women can realistically fake orgasms when Ryan demonstrates that they can.

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



Carl and Estelle Reiner married in 1943. Estelle Reiner had roles in some of her husband and son's movies.
