Meg Ryan, born in 1961, rose from soap operas to become a leading light of 1990s romantic comedy, her performance in "When Harry Met Sally..." sealing her status as a box office draw. Roles in "Sleepless in Seattle" and "You've Got Mail" solidified her charm, yet despite critical acclaim and Golden Globe nominations, she remains one of Hollywood's most beloved without an Academy Award nod. Beyond rom-coms, she ventured into diverse projects like "The Doors" and "Anastasia," and in 2015, directed her own film, "Ithaca." Off-screen, her relationship with Russell Crowe and marriage to Dennis Quaid marked her personal life as vividly as her career has been in the public eye.
