Meg Ryan

Meg Ryan began her career in her teens. Her first on-screen gigs were for commercials before she finally landed an acting credit in As the World Turns. Although she initially saw it as a side job to support herself, she was pretty good at it and slowly made a name for herself in the industry. No wonder she ultimately committed to her career under the spotlight.

During those earlier years in the acting scene, Ryan’s roles were mostly for bit parts and side characters. Not long after, her popularity rose to even greater heights thanks to her work in films like Promised Land and Top Gun. Her first big shot to fame finally came in 1989 when she starred in that year’s romantic comedy flick When Harry Met Sally. Since then, Ryan has worked on other projects such as You’ve Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, and City of Angels. Plus, she has tried her hand at directing, debuting in 2015 with the film Ithaca.
