RIP to Nora Ephron, the Lady Who Gave Us the Most Famous Orgasm Scene in History

Sally shows Harry how it's done!

RIP to the writer who wrecked mens’ peace of mind with the most famous fake orgasm scene in history! How will we ever forget Meg Ryan’s performance in When Harry Met Sally and the old lady’s immortal line, “I’ll have what she’s having.” If you want to see it again, watch it here!

Screenwriter Nora Ephron passed away yesterday aged 71, having had leukaemia since 2006. She also wrote the screen plays for Silkwood, Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail and Julie and Julia.

She wrote the following lists of things she won’t and will miss when she dies in 2010 and used them in her book, I Remember Nothing.
