Did you know when Harry Met Sally, he was meeting a Polish girl from Connecticut?
Meg Ryan was born Margaret Mary Emily Hyra on November 19, 1961. She is an American actress and producer. Ryan began her acting career in 1981 in minor roles before joining the cast of the CBS soap opera As the World Turns in 1982. Subsequently, she began to appear in supporting roles in films during the mid 1980s like box office hit Top Gun, achieving recognition in independent films such as Promised Land (1987) before her performance in the Rob Reiner-directed romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally... (1989) brought her widespread attention and her first Golden Globe nomination. Her son Jack Quaid stars in the hit show "The Boys"
Meg Ryan's father is Polish. Harry Hyra (born 1938), a math teacher. She grew up in Fairfield, CT.

John,
I loved Meg Ryan as an actress. A typical American blond for me. Beautiful blue eyes, great smile, funny and good actress. The magical world of the cinema and the television screen and rented Video's with movies from the video store. The world of the American movies (both Hollywood and artistic Art House -New York school of film and other American cinema-) and tv sitcoms. Meg Ryan was and is part of that magical world. The romantics, the atmosphere and the great legacy of acting, sense of humor and story telling in American cinema. For us European chaps and ladies a short moment to escape the European reality, for American audiences their fun time in their cinema's enjoying their American culture.
Cheers,
Pieter

John, how interesting. I did not realize that Meg Ryan has Polish background. Now when I look at her eyes, they look like my mother.... I agree with Pieter, I like her style.
