Alyson Hannigan, the red-haired one on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and in those American Pie movies, has been practicing her fake orgasms.

Hannigan is taking a lead role in a new British stage production of When Harry Met Sally, which has that fake-orgasm-in-a-restaurant scene, remember? ("I’ll have what she’s having," the woman at the next table tells the waiter.)

Meg Ryan, who had the role in the 1989 movie, is "a different person than I am," Hannigan says, "so I imagine our orgasms would be slightly different. But I hope it will still be funny. ... I’ve been practising all the time." She’s 29.
