Rob Reiner Changed The Ending Of The Film When Harry Met Sally After Meeting His Wife

Rob Reiner, an award-winning actor, and director, has been married to Michele Singer, a former photographer and actress, since 1989. He met Singer following his divorce from his first wife, actress/director Penny Marshall, and, more specifically, while shooting the romantic comedy picture When Harry Met Sally. According to The Guardian, he met her via a familiar acquaintance, Barry Sonnenfeld, the film’s director of photography.

When Rob Reiner and Michele Singer First Met

Reiner and other members of the publication’s staff were also quoted in the study. When Harry Met Sally, the filmmaker said he was considering asking actress Michelle Pfeiffer out on a date. “I’d met her [Pfeiffer] a few months previously, and she looked like a wonderful person, so I said to Barry Sonnenfeld, ‘I’m going to give her a call,'” he remembered during the interview. However, his buddy Sonnenfeld advised him not to contact Pfeiffer and instead to meet and marry his friend Singer in the future. Even though he wasn’t persuaded at first, he changed his mind after seeing her on the set of When Harry Met Sally.

Rob Reiner altered the film’s ending After meeting his wife.

When Reiner and Singer met, the picture was three-quarters of the way through, and the characters Harry and Sally “don’t get together” in the end, according to the original text. The actor revealed to Couchsurfing’s Lola Ogunnaike [via People] that the film did not initially finish with Harry and Sally marrying. “They meet years later and go their ways,” he continued. When asked what influenced him to modify the finale, which portrayed the two protagonists together at the end, he said his viewpoint changed once he met his wife.

He said.

“I met my wife while working on the film, and we modified the finale, and this is what we came up with,”

“Billy came up with some of this dialogue, and that’s how we chose to conclude the movie, that they do end up together,”

And the film became one of the best romantic comedies of all time.

Rob Reiner’s Family Wife and Children

In the current day, Reiner and his wife Singer are still happily married. They have three children from their three-decade marriage. Jake was born in 1991, Nick in 1993, and Romy in 1997. Tracy Reiner, his daughter from his former marriage to actress Marshall, was born in 1964. Furthermore, all of them have done well for themselves, with the majority following in their father’s footsteps.

In May 2015, the actor told AARP’s Susan Wloszczyna that patience was the key to his long-lasting marriage. He said that this enabled them to “become best friends” and that he learned much about life from her.
