built 627 days ago
Meg Ryan is the ultimate hot girl next door who isn't averse to taking her top off. For three years she was on As the World Turns as one of the legion of oversexed vixens on daytime TV. Meg's world turned to film . . . and the opportunity to show off some of that lily-white skin. In The Presidio (1988), her flopping … Join Mr. Skin to read her entire Biography

In 1981 Meg Ryan got her first break in the film Rich and Famous with Candice Bergen and Jacqueline Bisset. From 1982 to 1984 she was on the soap As The World Turns.

After graduating from Bethel High School, Meg Ryan studied journalism at New York University. Meg went into acting to earn extra money while in school. After her first role in a feature film, Ryan (now using her screen name) played Betsy on the daytime drama As the World Turns from 1982 to 1984. Directors for this show especially liked working with her because she could cry on cue.

[I]n Ryan's new world, her idea of the perfect romantic evening has changed: "I'd want to be with someone fantastic, fun and great, and then go to the Lennox Lewis-[Mike] Tyson fight." But she's still willing to go on non-ringside dates. In the spring, she was spotted with actor Craig Bierko in Toronto, where they lunched at a cozy bistro, nuzzled while window shopping, and had a Japanese dinner of spicy tuna rolls and barbecued eel. Bierko, who recently played Sarah Jessica Parker's musician boyfriend on Sex and the City, met Ryan on the Kate & Leopold set (his part ended up on the cutting-room floor). Not that she was rushing into anything serious with the Hollywood hunk. "They were kidding around and comfortable with each other," says Giuseppe Deluciano, a salesman at Thomas Hinds Tobacconist, where the two bought his-and-her cigars.

With her mother’s help, college student Meg Ryan made her kickoff in acting with the role of 18-year old Debby Blake, the daughter of Candice Bergen’s character, in George Cukor’s big screen drama Rich and Famous (1981). The next year, Ryan had her small screen debut as Denise in the TV film Amy and the Angel, and as Jane in the sitcom “One of the Boys.” She then acquired a regular role as Betsy Montgomery in the drama series “As the World Turns” (1982-1984).

Ryan made a strong stake in the business side of filmmaking in 1993, when she established her own Fox-based production company, Fandango Films (now Prufrock Pictures). She returned to her screwball comedy roots for her feature producing debut, 1995’s only modestly entertaining French Kiss, which partnered her with a roguish Kevin Kline. Following a captivating supporting turn in the hip period piece Restoration (... 1995), the slight, prepossessing actress convincingly portrayed a medevac helicopter pilot in Courage Under Fire (1996), a soldierly drama that teamed her with Denzel Washington and a then-unknown Matt Damon. Though she slightly tarnished her sweetness-and-light reputation with her darkly waggish performance as a jilted girlfriend with revenge on her mind in Griffin Dunne’s feature-directorial debut Addicted to Love, Ryan reaffirmed her standing as a cinematic sweetheart nonpareil by voicing 1997’s most comely animated damsel in distress, Anastasia. Ryan then starred as a heart surgeon who discovers unearthly romance with a beatific Nicolas Cage in City of Angels, a film loosely based on the Wim Wenders classic Wings of Desire.
