‘Knocked Up’ lost its lead actress over a live birth, ‘When Harry Met Sally’s original ending was sad, and more rom-com secrets.
Rom-coms are all about meet-cutes, mix-ups and unexpected pairings.
Director Rob Reiner almost gave “When Harry Met Sally” a break-up ending, until he himself fell in love during filming.By the time the script was complete, the character of Harry was such a stand-in for Reiner that the director initially refused to offer the part to Crystal — the obvious best actor for the role — because the two were best friends in real life.
The film’s writer/directors, the Farrelly Brothers, had been trying to make use of that gag for at least five years, since Peter Farrelly pitched it for an episode of “Seinfeld.” “‘That’s, like, a potential career-ender,’” Peter Farrelly recalls the actress saying. “Hathaway quit the role due in part to a brief scene during the climactic birth sequence of a baby crowning that — while not depicting Hathaway’s own vagina — would have been [edited] to give audiences the impression it was hers,” writes Meslow.
But Hogan most wanted Russell Crowe for the role, because the director considered him “probably the most amazing actor I had ever encountered.”
