Ah, my dear friend! Sitting here reminiscing about these cinematic masterpieces, I feel like I’ve traveled through time and space. You see, I was there, right at the dawn of Meg Ryan‘s reign as America’s Sweetheart, watching her transform from an unknown actress to a beloved icon.
Meg Ryan’s daughter Daisy True Ryan ended up in a rainy city of her own.
To clarify, the actress famous for “Sleepless in Seattle” – who also has a 32-year-old son named Jack Quaid with ex-spouse Dennis Quaid – recently gave a rare glimpse into her son’s activities in the United Kingdom and expressed her fondness for a specific English city.
Meg shared with The Sunday Times on December 15th that she’s deeply fond of everything British and harbors a small dream of residing in London someday. Her daughter is currently studying English Literature at our local college, yet she aspires to continue her studies in Bath at some point in the future.
Meg Ryan, famously known for “When Harry Met Sally”, became a single parent by adopting Daisy in 2006 from China, five years following the conclusion of her divorce with an actor from “The Substance”. Everything seemed wonderfully fated.
Meg shared, “I’ve often considered adoption, even coming very close to it at different times. However, it was uniquely meant for Daisy and me. Somehow, circumstances aligned in a way that felt just right.
However, the 63-year-old has openly expressed concerns about raising her children under the public eye, particularly because of the potential challenges a “nepo baby” might encounter while striving for success independently. This is especially relevant considering her son, Jack, was beginning to carve out his own niche in Hollywood.
Jack is exceptionally gifted; he’s almost innately so, more than I could ever aspire to be. Criticizing him as a product of nepotism undervalues his dedication, his unique abilities, and his awareness of his privileged position,” she expressed to Glamour last November. “Nobody would wish that [situation] upon anyone. It’s challenging and it feels strange.
Regardless of the challenges that came with emulating his mother’s career, Jack – who made his screen debut in “The Hunger Games” – has since been featured in Amazon’s “The Boys,” and taken on roles in movies like “Oppenheimer” and “Plus One.” Meg had a strong feeling about his success from the very beginning.
She went on to say, “I recall watching him perform in a middle school play of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. He was portraying Bottom. At that time, I had recently divorced his father and found myself seated on the opposite side of the gymnasium. With my face buried in my hands, I muttered to myself, ‘Oh, not him. He’s talented. He’s really good.’ As I leaned forward, I noticed Dennis doing the same, with his head also buried in his hands. I just had a feeling.
Regarding Jack’s response to the nepotism accusations, he has consistently maintained faith in his individual skills, believing that he deserves his seat at the table through merit.
In 2022, Jack shared with Thrillist, “I anticipated people would frequently remark, ‘Oh, I know why he landed that job.’ However, they still do, and it’s alright. Yet, as long as I understood the path I took to get there, that was sufficient for me.
Meanwhile, Daisy and Jack are following their individual journeys, continue reading to reminisce about some of Meg’s most memorable performances in romantic comedies…
Although boasting a skilled ensemble headed by Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick as a duo seeking vengeance who feign a romantic relationship to exact revenge on ex-lovers, this 1997 film unfortunately fails to ignite much enthusiasm for Meg Ryan’s performances.
It seems that this delightful 1994 romantic comedy is often overlooked, perhaps unexpectedly, given its unique casting. In this film, the legendary physicist Albert Einstein, portrayed by Walter Matthau, plays cupid for a bright doctoral student and a down-to-earth mechanic played by Tim Robbins. So, instead of squared, you could say that this romantic duo is as iconic as E=MC. (We hope we didn’t cause any confusion.)
In their collaboration for the 2023 feature film, the chemistry between director Ryan and actor David Duchonvy was noticeable, yet it lacked the necessary elements of romance and humor. However, it was intriguing to witness a more mature interpretation of a common genre theme.
2001’s romantic comedy, “Time Travel,” features an intriguing pairing of Ryan and the dashing Hugh Jackman, who plays a 19th-century duke unexpectedly transported to modern-day New York City.
Despite its questionable plot points like illogical time travel, inconsistent narrative, and somewhat bizarre conclusion, the movie “Kate & Leopold” remains adorable and endearing. So, why bother with scientific logic when it’s all about enjoying the charm?
The storyline was quite intricate – a woman traveling to France to confront her unfaithful fiancé, only to get into trouble when the shady person beside her uses her as a smuggler for a stolen necklace in order to establish a vineyard. However, Ryan and Kevin Kline, as the leading man, possessed an undefinable charm that made it all come together nicely.
Initially, this 1990 film didn’t receive much excitement from the audience – it being the first time she acted alongside Tom Hanks, I’ll delve deeper into him later. However, it has since gained a dedicated fanbase due to its unique plot and the natural connection between the main characters. Regrettably, it was just a taster for the blockbusters that were soon to follow…
In an unconventional romantic comedy setup, the main characters Annie (Ryan) and widowed Sam (Hanks) share just a single scene atop the Empire State Building. One might think it wouldn’t work, but this 1993 classic left us all enchanted as they discovered their soulmate connection. It’s not about falling in love; it’s about wanting to be captivated by love within the magical world of this film.
Regardless of the charming, fairy-tale feel of “Sleepless in Seattle,” it doesn’t rank as the top film collaboration between the pairing of Ryan and Hanks.
Instead of “Sleepless in Seattle” showcasing a hint of Ryan and Hanks’ onscreen chemistry, think of Nora Ephron’s 1988 adaptation of “The Shop Around the Corner” as a lavish six-course meal, brimming with slow-building tension, clever dialogue, and an expert balance of biting wit and heartfelt sentiment.
Despite some dated technology and references that might make us chuckle (like reminiscing about AOL), Ephron’s sharp dialogue and the undeniable charm of its star-studded cast have ensured that You’ve Got Mail remains as relevant and enjoyable today as it was back then.
Regrettably, there’s another film we rate slightly higher that we had hoped for instead.
Approximately three decades on, film enthusiasts can continue to enjoy the timeless charm of a 1989 classic, which continues to be the benchmark in romantic comedy films.
Initially not very well-known, Ryan captivates every moment she appears on screen as the particular and fastidious Sally Albright. It’s no simple feat to outshine comedy legend Billy Crystal in this role. With a single memorable faked orgasm, her career took flight, landing her a Golden Globe nomination for her debut performance that not only launched but solidified her status as America’s beloved darling.
Remarkably Quotable-“Baby fish-mouth!”- and boasting standout performances from Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby, the movie “When Harry Met Sally” leaves little room for dislike.
