MEG RYAN

There seemed to be no-one better to turn to for a Rom-Com than Meg Ryan back in the late 90s. Roles in things like Sleepless in Seattle and When Harry Met Sally brought her acclaim and firmly assured that she was destined for greatness in Hollywood. She co-starred with Dennis Quaid in Steven Spielberg’s Innerspace (1987) and the remake of D.O.A. (1988) and then married him on Saint Valentine’s Day in 1991.

After Ryan’s relationship drama started to overshadow her career, however, the America’s Sweetheart distanced herself from Hollywood. It was reported she had ended the engagement with American singer-songwriter John Mellencamp last year. As the typecast in Hollywood as the “girl next door” , Ryan might have shied away from acting, but her past roles in film still remain as iconic as they were when they first hit theaters.
