Meg Ryan, America’s Sweetheart, Celebrates 50th Birthday
Actress Meg Ryan, who melted hearts across the country in the 90s with her roles in films such as Sleepless in Seattle, City of Angels and You’ve Got Mail, celebrates her 50th birthday today.
In addition to Rom-Coms and Rom-Drams, Ryan – who started out her career in the early 80s with a part in the popular soap opera As the World Turns – has also starred in her fair share of thrillers.
In 2000, Meg was cast alongside Russel Crowe in Taylor Hackford’s Proof of Life, an action-thriller where Ryan played the part of a distraught wife of a kidnapped engineer, and three years later she scored the lead role in Jane Campion’s erotic thriller, In the Cut.
Away from the big screen, Ryan is a mom of two children – a 19-year-boy named Jack Henry (from former husband Dennis Quaid) and a 7-year-old daughter named Daisy True (adopted from China).
According to Wikipedia, Meg is currently romantically linked to American rock singer-songwriter, John Mellencamp.
In celebration of Meg Ryan’s 50th year of life, here is a clip of one of her most memorable scenes in You’ve Got Mail.

Sleepless In Seattle.
Nov 19, 2011
You Got Mail, favorite, Really any thing she stars in is great.
Nov 19, 2011
I could have sworn she is 53.
Nov 19, 2011
Flesh and Bone, You've got Mail, All movies done with Tom Hanks.
Nov 19, 2011
you got mail or sleepless in seattle. hard to pick. like most of em
Nov 19, 2011
Love all her films…but "Sleepless in Seattle" wins (in my opinion), hands down! Followed by "You've Got Mail."
Nov 19, 2011
I agree. I remember, years and years ago, seeing a yearbook photo of her from class of 1977 which would make her closer to at least 53 or 52 or even 51, but she's already turned 50, I'm pretty sure of that.
Nov 19, 2011
Cutest thing ever…too bad she had the plastic surgery…Woe! Whoa!
Nov 19, 2011
Ive always been a huge fan of Meg Ryan. She's so cute, no perky, and so funny. I liked her best in Youve Got Mail. Happy Birthday Meg.
Nov 19, 2011
When Harry Met Sally. No question.
Nov 19, 2011
I love all her movies! Can't pick a favorite! Happy Birthday! Thankyou for always making me smile, laugh, or cry
Nov 19, 2011
I had two favorites one was when a man loves a woman and the other was city of angels.
Nov 19, 2011
Innerspace!
Nov 19, 2011
I liked all her movie's but I loved You Got Mail and Sleepless in Seatle. Meg and Tom have such a close realtionship. when they act there great together, wish they would make more together.
Nov 19, 2011
French Kiss….by far her best!
Nov 19, 2011
Sleepless in Seattle, my favorite of all time with Meg Ryan..I've always.
adored her and I still do..This young lady is so Beautiful and Sexy…
Nov 19, 2011
Happy Birthday Meg Ryan…….You've made me smile and laugh , all your movies are great.
Nov 19, 2011
Happy Birthday Meg! I love all her movies, such a good actress! No matter how she has her hair cut, always a pretty lady!
Nov 19, 2011
They missed the boat completely. When Harry Met Sally doesn't even get a mention? The ending on that was much better, not to mention the deli scene. Wow.
Nov 19, 2011
"Googe, you big stud, take me to bed or loose me forever!" from Top Gun one of my favorite scenes but favorite movie has to be sleepless in Seattle followed by You've got mail. I agree, Meg and Tom Hanks are wonderful together! What's not to love?
Nov 19, 2011
happy Birthday Meg, I love all your movies I named my Daughter after you.
Nov 19, 2011
When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, Courage Under Fire, In The Cut…too many of them to mention.
Nov 19, 2011
When Harry met sally.
Nov 19, 2011
I agree. She is phenominal. Happy Birthday Meg. Named my daughter after you.
Nov 19, 2011
You've Got Mail………. so sweet!
Nov 19, 2011
Love her movies….favorite You've Got Mail. They sure don't make them like they used too. She and Tom have such chemistry. Would love to see them in another romance movie. I do not like however what she did to those lips. Why do these actressed always think plastic surgery will make them look better. That is why I love Kelly Ripa…she is as flat as a fritter and never caved into getting a breast enhancement. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEG.
Nov 19, 2011
Plastic surgery? She looks the same to me, good like always. She doesn't need to go under the knife.
Nov 19, 2011
When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle.

Nov 20, 2011
She has always been my favorite actress.
Nov 20, 2011
I loved her mot of all as Besty Stewart on As the World turns. She was so good and watched her grow into a good actress.
Nov 20, 2011
City of Angels..always love a good tear jerker..and of course love story. She looks great for her age…must have awesome genes!
Nov 20, 2011
I need your serious attention. $1,300,000.00 for 98 +/- acres of prime farm land 10 min from Huntsville Alabama. Metal building with two roll up doors one walk thru door. Two springs – one is wet weather and the other is ever lasting which would easily feed a catfish farm. The farm was planted in corn this year. Deer & turkey everywhere. It has two entrances into it. Very private place! Unbelievable breath taking view! I think if your in search of a farm you will fall in love with this one. Already has underground utilities and telephone on it. This farm is great by itself or a developer could make beautiful mini farms. Make an offer. Hampton Cove is growing.
leaps & bounds.
Also available some commercial land on Hwy 431S in the Hampton Cove area. It can be used for Corporate Development too.
Serious inquiries only please call: 256-990-9003.
