I think before When Harry Met Sally, we had gone through years of rom-coms where the female heroines were often very polished and put together and had beautiful, refined outfits. They weren't wearing necessarily like sweaters and jeans.

Yeah. I'm thinking of like An Affair to Remember. Oh, yeah. You know, Nora saw women in a different way. She applied the female gaze to her characters. When we saw something like When Harry Met Sally, we saw Sally. Sally was messy and outspoken and really anal retentive.

And at the same time, the conversation about female sexuality, female pleasure wasn't really at the forefront of conversations anymore. And when Nora had this deli scene in When Harry Met Sally, it ignited a conversation. And it's probably opened a lot of doors for the way we talk about sexuality in rom-coms today.

Yeah. I feel like those quote unquote high maintenance quirks of Sally's, for instance, could be like so annoying, but it's endearing and it makes the character interesting and that she's so particular about the way that she consumes food. And those are the moments that you could really see Nora in the script because she was so particular about food.

I mean, I think with that, we saw more of like a equal playing field between women and men in her movies. Again, like a lot of women could relate to this as opposed to like the virginal characters that had been so pervasive in the past. I think that seeing Marie from when Harry Met Sally, like, go through her Rolodex of men, like... Really, Marie?

Those were real conversations that women might be having with their friends. We were able to see in Nora's work that... Women could enjoy sex. Women could enjoy dating. And they could be powerful on their own. And they weren't just vying for male attention. It could be an addition to their life. It wasn't upending it.
