Meg Ryan is a romantic comedy legend. The actress has a roster full of blockbuster rom-coms that span decades, cementing her status as one of the leaders of the genre since the '80s.
Her chokehold on romance has resulted in numerous recognizable films like "Sleepless in Seattle" and the Oscar-nominated "When Harry Met Sally" but also dramas like "Prelude to a Kiss." Ryan's likability and pure charisma are why she's dominated the genre for so long. After her major hits and directorial debut "Ithaca" in 2015, the actress took an eight-year break from the industry. She told People Magazine that as her fame grew, she felt like she had to step back from the spotlight.
