15 Things You Didn't Know About When Harry Met Sally
8. Why Sally Wore Glasses
There is a significant reason why Sally wore glasses, and to be frank, it’s a little bit shallow as to why.
Nora Ephron felt there was quite a difference in terms of attractiveness between Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, and felt that a set of glasses would have brought her down to his level.
Cheryl Schuman presented Ryan with over 200 pairs of specs, and there was only one which she wanted to wear. They were actually prescription glasses which belonged to Schuman herself, and were a very expensive La Roche pair. Several replicas were made in order to appease to Meg’s wishes.
We’re just sad that the purpose of the glasses were to make Sally look ‘uglier’.
