Meg Ryan's journey through Hollywood

When it comes to rom-coms, there’s one woman who truly embodies the genre. That woman is Meg Ryan. Ever since she gained fame as one of the titular characters in “When Harry Met Sally…,” she’s been making great strides in the rom-com scene. She’s been so influential that actresses like Emma Stone and Rachel McAdams have her to thank for making the genre so popular. Where is Meg Ryan now, though? It’s been quite a few years since her rom-com heyday, and a lot has changed in her life.

Every genre has actors that epitomize what they’re all about. Action films have familiar faces like Tom Cruise and Bruce Willis, while the standard comedy flicks often feature the likes of Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler.

What about rom-coms though? Actresses like Julia Roberts and Katherine Heigl have left their mark on the genre, but there’s one woman who’s done more for romantic comedies than anyone else – Meg Ryan. She was an iconic star of the ‘90s rom-com scene, and it completely changed her life. Was that a good thing though?

Acting was never Ryan’s first passion. However, given her mother used to be an actress, the idea was always in the back of her mind.

It was only once she went to college, though, that the possibility of making it her career seemed possible. She’d been studying a degree in journalism and needed money to keep her going, so she did some acting in her spare time. It started off as just a few commercials, but soon enough she was starring in the soap opera “As the World Turns.”
