I’ll Have What She Had

Estelle Reiner, Wife of Carl and mother of Rob, died this week at the age of 94. You know Estelle – she’s the woman who, at the end of Meg Ryan’s fake orgasm at Katz’s Deli in When Harry Met Sally, turns to her waiter and says – “I’ll have what she’s having”.

Well, Estelle, I think I’ll have what you had. Teen radio singer, submarine draftsman in WW II, artist, wife, mother, anti-war activist and actor. She took up jazz singing at age 65 and recorded 7 albums! A life well-loved and well-lived.

We should all be so blessed. And so bold. Rest in peace, Estelle.
