Meg

Meg Ryan (born Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra; November 19, 1961) is an American actress recognized for her prominent roles in romantic comedies that defined much of her career in the late 1980s and 1990s. Rising from supporting parts in films like Top Gun (1986), she achieved stardom with lead performances in Nora Ephron-scripted hits including When Harry Met Sally... (1989), for which she received Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations, as well as Sleepless in Seattle (1993) and You've Got Mail (1998), both co-starring Tom Hanks and grossing over $500 million combined worldwide. Her effervescent, relatable persona earned her the informal title of "America's sweetheart," though her trajectory shifted after a publicized extramarital affair with Russell Crowe during the production of Proof of Life (2000), which fueled tabloid scrutiny, contributed to her divorce from Dennis Quaid, and coincided with critically panned projects like In the Cut (2003) that alienated her core audience. Ryan has two children, including actor Jack Quaid from her marriage to Quaid, and has largely stepped back from acting to pursue directing, with occasional returns such as starring in and directing the 2023 romantic drama What Happens Later.
