Meg Ryan (''nee'' Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra, November 19, 1961 in Fairfield, Connecticut, Connecticut) is an United States Actor who specializes in romantic comedy, but has worked in other film genres as well. Ryan studied journalism at New York University. She went into acting to earn extra money while in school. After her first role in a feature film, Ryan (now using her screen name) played Betsy on the daytime drama ''As the World Turns'' from 1982 to 1984. Directors for this show especially liked working with her because she could cry on cue. After several TV movie and smaller movie roles, her first full-blown hit in a leading role was the romantic comedy ''When Harry Met Sally''. The movie was favorably received and crystallized Ryan's on-screen persona as a bubbly, charming, feisty but incurable romantic, a role she has reprised in several roles since. In 2003, she broke away from her usual roles, and starred in ''In the Cut'', an erotic crime/thriller/mystery. Many of her films of the 1990s have been hits not only in North America, but also abroad. Ryan married actor Dennis Quaid on Valentine's Day in 1991 after co-starring in two films with him. They divorced on July 16, 2001 after she had an indiscreet affair with actor Russell Crowe, with whom she was working on a movie. Quaid and Ryan had one child together, Jack Henry, born April 24, 1992. ==Filmography== *''Rich and Famous'' (1981) *''Amityville 3-D'' (1983) *''Top Gun'' (1986) *''Armed and Dangerous (movie)'' (1986) *''Promised Land'' (1987) *''Innerspace'' (1987) *''D.O.A.''

==Grainy photo== Golly! That photo is kinda grainy. Can anyone get a better photo of her? —User:Frecklefoot 20:05, 8 Oct 2003 (UTC) :Can't help but comment on Meg Ryan's gawd-awful picture in her bio. Where did they dig that one up. She should sue ( or at least have her publicist update it :)) ) --User:2222 cheryl I'm well aware of the difficulty that Wikipedia has with image: we can only use images which have been licensed under the GFDL or in the public domain. Her publicist won't be of much use here--no matter what photos she uses now for publicity ''we'' can't use because they're most likely copyrighted. A screen grab from a movie, however, is permissible under fair use and would probably be the best source for a new image. I don't have that capability for such a grab, so was just suggesting someone who does have that ability to grab a more recent image. :-) User:Frecklefoot— User:Frecklefoot | User talk:Frecklefoot 14:47, May 26, 2005 (UTC) == Gay Icon Project == In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited.
