I met her while we were making the film: Meg Ryan’s ‘When Harry Met Sally’ Almost Went Insanely Dark, But Real Love Gave Us the Greatest Rom-Com Ending Ever

When it comes to romantic comedies, few can hold a candle to the iconic film “When Harry Met Sally.” Starring the beloved duo of Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, the movie has become a classic in the genre, known for its witty dialogue, charming characters, and unforgettable moments.

But what many fans may not know is that the film almost took a much darker turn before reaching its happy ending. In fact, director Rob Reiner and screenwriter Nora Ephron originally envisioned a much bleaker finale for the film, one that would have left audiences reeling.

In the original version of the script, Harry and Sally do not end up together. Instead, they part ways after realizing that they are better off as friends. The final scene of the movie was supposed to show the two characters going their separate ways, with no promise of a future romantic relationship.

But as fate would have it, real love intervened. During the filming of the movie, Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal developed a close bond that mirrored the on-screen chemistry of their characters. As they worked together, their friendship blossomed into something more, and they soon realized that they had found true love in each other.

When Rob Reiner and Nora Ephron saw the genuine connection between Meg and Billy, they knew they had to change the ending of the film. They reworked the script to give Harry and Sally a happy ending, allowing them to finally confess their feelings for each other and embark on a romantic relationship.

And the rest, as they say, is history. “When Harry Met Sally” went on to become one of the most beloved romantic comedies of all time, thanks in no small part to the real-life love story that played out behind the scenes.

So the next time you watch the film, remember that the happy ending you see on screen was made possible by the real love that blossomed between Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal. And isn’t that the greatest rom-com ending of all?
