Meg Ryan, known for her endearing persona and talent as an actress, rose to fame with films like “Sleepless in Seattle” and “You’ve Got Mail”. She captured the hearts of audiences and was even dubbed “America’s sweetheart” for her attractiveness and sweetness.

But despite her success in Hollywood, Meg Ryan made a decision that surprised many. She put her acting career on hold to become a “full-time mom”. This choice was driven by her desire to spend more time with her family and avoid the controversies that surrounded her personal life.

Ryan’s journey in the film industry began with her role as Nick “Goose” Bradshaw’s wife in “Top Gun”. It was during the filming of this movie that she fell in love with her co-star Anthony Edwards and they became a couple for a while.

Over the years, Ryan’s career had its ups and downs. However, it was her work with John Candy in “Armed and Dangerous” that marked a turning point in her career, according to her director Joe Dante.

Her personal life also had its share of challenges. Meg Ryan was married to actor Dennis Quaid for ten years, and they had a strong connection from the very beginning. But sadly, their marriage ended in divorce, with Ryan opening up about the pain she felt due to her husband’s extramarital affair.

Despite their separation, Ryan and Quaid continued to support each other and even encouraged their son Jack to pursue a career in show business. Jack has since made a name for himself in the film industry, with roles in movies like “The Hunger Games”.

In 2006, Meg Ryan and her then-husband adopted a Chinese toddler named Daisy. Ryan spoke about the intensity of love and closeness that comes with adoption, even though it is different from having a biological child.

In recent years, Meg Ryan has chosen to step away from the limelight and focus on her family. However, there are rumors that she may make a comeback to Hollywood soon. At 60 years old, she still possesses the beauty and vitality of a young woman, and fans would love to see her grace the big screen once again.
