A cause of death was not given for Reiner, who was married to comedian Carl Reiner for nearly 65 years. She also appeared in Fatso, directed by Anne Bancroft, and in Mel Brooks' To Be or Not to Be.
I don't do anything but act myself. I think that's why people like what I do when I sing -because they see me in it. They don't see somebody trying to be grand --or even good! It took me a long time but I've gotten to a point where I can really be myself and...there's nothing more interesting than a person who reveals them self. No matter what you are, it's very interesting to see that happen. I think that's why people like to hear me sing.
Estelle Reiner
Reiner said recently about the success of her career as a popular vocalist and recording artist, and it's hard to disagree with the lady who's built an enduring career and loyal following on the qualities of originality and interpretation she brings to a song.
She drew laughs in the deli scene of When Harry Met Sally when she reacted to Meg Ryan's character, who was faking orgasm, by saying:
“I'll have what she's having."
