Meg Ryan was born in Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1961 and had a tough childhood due to her parent’s divorce when she was a teenager.
Even so, her natural charm and talent helped her become famous in Hollywood, where she appeared in movies like Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail.
She quickly became famous and was called “America’s sweetheart” because she was pretty and nice.
But, after reaching fame, Ryan decided to take a break from acting and focus on his family instead. This was due to her high-profile romance with actor Russell Crowe, which made headlines before their final breakup.
As a result, Ryan moved away from the spotlight for a while to prevent further problems.
Meg Ryan’s acting career began while studying journalism at the University of Connecticut and New York University when she started doing commercials.
Meg went on to play the lead in Innerspace, where she met her future husband, Dennis Quaid.
She earned her acting debut in the film Top Gun, playing the wife of Nick “Goose” Bradshaw (played by Anthony Edwards). Meg and Anthony had a love relationship while filming that lasted for a while.
Director Joe Dante said that Meg’s success in Armed and Dangerous with John Candy was a big reason why this role was crucial to her career.
As the actress described, Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid’s relationship had an instantaneous feeling of connection “It was like a bolt of lightning… We’ll be there together.” But, after ten years, their marriage ended in divorce.
There were rumors that Meg Ryan and her co-star Russell Crowe were dating before they broke up.
