Cee Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I was searching for a thread with Meg Ryan and so suprised to find it wasn't here. So here it comes: (Most of the biography thanXx to IMDB) Birth name Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra Height 5' 8" (1.73 m) Mini biography Blond-haired, blue-eyed with an effervescent personality, Meg Ryan graduated from Bethel high school, Bethel in June 1979. Moving to New York, she attended New York University where she majored in journalism. To earn extra money while working on her degree, Meg went into acting using her new name Meg Ryan. In 1981, she had her big screen debut as Candice Bergen's daughter in George Cukor's last film Rich and Famous (1981). She tried out and was cast as Betsy in the day time television soap "As the World Turns" (1956). She was part of the cast from 1982 to 1984. Meg also had a part in the television series "One of the Boys" (1982), but this show was soon cancelled. In 1984, she moved to tinsel town and landed a job in the western Television Series "Wildside" (1985). With her part in the highly successful movie Top Gun (1986) Meg became a star with "take me to bed or lose me forever". After Top Gun she made Armed and Dangerous and Promised Land . But the role in Top Gun led to Meg being cast in Steven Spielberg's movie Innerspace (1987) where she co-starred with Dennis Quaid. She again co-starred with Quaid in the remake of D.O.A. (1988) and they married on Valentine Day in 1991. In 1989, Meg appeared in another blockbuster called When Harry Met Sally... (1989) and the scene at the restaurant became famous. Meg was nominated for both the Golden Globe and the BAFTA. In 1990, she co-starred with Tom Hanks in Joe Versus the Volcano (1990) and this time she played three roles as DeDe/Angelica/Patricia. After these movies she worked with Val Kilmer in The Doors and Alec Baldwin in Prelude to a kiss . She appeared again with Tom in the very successful Sleepless in Seattle (1993) for which she was again nominated for the Golden Globe. In 1994, Meg decided to act against type when she appeared as the alcoholic wife and mother in When a Man Loves a Woman (1994). After that, she went back to "cute" with both I.Q. (1994) and French Kiss (1995). In 1994, Meg won the Harvard Hasty Pudding Award as "Woman of the Year" and was voted as being one of "The 50 most beautiful people in the world 1994" by People Magazine. Next she did Restoration (1995) and Courage Under Fire in 1996. She then went to prove that a woman with a broken heart will get revenge in Addicted to love (one of my personal favourites). In 1997 she did the voice of Anastasia in the movie Anastasia, followed by 1998's City of Angels . Quickly after that she worked with Tom Hanks once more on You've Got Mail . Quote
