Reemerging after her hiatus, Meg Ryan has always been so much more than her rom-com typecasting.
The Big Picture From the iconic When Harry Met Sally with Billy Crystal, French Kiss with Kevin Kline, to her love trilogy with Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle, You Got Mail, and Joe vs. the Volcano, the iconic comedic genius, Meg Ryan, is finally making her comeback to Hollywood on Nov. 3rd with a new rom-com titled What Happens Later. The now 61-year-old actress co-wrote, directed and stars in the film next to X-Files's David Duchovny.
How Did Meg Ryan Get Her Start in Rom-Coms? From the late '80s to the beginning of the 2000s, Meg Ryan's career was undisputedly booming! Her acting filmography consists of 30-something films that paved the way for her budding profession as "America's Sweetheart" . The actress was born Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra in Fairfield, Connecticut and later changed her name when she joined the Screen Actors Guild.
The story broke the traditional blueprint of romance and deconstructed the genre. The characters openly discuss the absurdity of romantic tropes presented in movies like An Affair to Remember. Ryan's character, Annie, is a perfect example as her motivations are heavily influenced by the 1957 film starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, leading her to question whether she is happy with her already stable life.
Why Did Meg Ryan Leave Hollywood? Close At some point in their career, most artists can attest to experiencing burnout from creating the same type of material over and over again. The itch for an artist to dip their toes into a new body of work is nothing to be frowned upon, and sometimes a change makes their work even more dazzling. For Meg Ryan, this was just the case.
