She WAS 90s romantic comedy. She was so believable as a romantic lead because I couldn't help falling in love with her in every one of those movies!

Meg's short hair is ICONIC. Period.

[megankelly]

She is the rom com queen, even more than Julia Roberts in my humble opinion of the 80s and 90s.I love her short hair . She looks really pretty long hair but her short hair looks so amazing. Wish I could pull off that hair. She just looks so cool

Her fashion in French Kiss is so timeless and classy. The movie is shot beautifully too.

I love how she remembers many of the costume designers of her movies by name.

I’m SO HAPPY to see Meg Ryan acting again! Her movies just beautifully punctuated my entire growing up period and Ive always just loved her. ❤

I remember asking for a Meg Ryan cut at the hair salon in 1999, loved it.

Kate and Leopold should be mentioned here, because her wardrobe was integral to the character's archetype. Her masculine-inspired style looked amazing and was actually referenced in the film by another character who "complimented" her by saying "I like you. You're not like other women." She then asks, intrigued "I'm not?"... "No, you don't do pretty." Her reaction to the bizarre compliment "I don't?" is so amusing xD

Her hair is iconic next to Rachel Green and Julia Roberts but Meg Ryan is such a smart, self-aware and humble person which makes me just love her all these decades (yes, I'm old). Will watch the film ASAP and wish to see more of her films. Thanks for this Glamor!

She was the queen of the rom-com in the 90’s. She was also great in The Doors, IQ, When a Man Loves a Woman, City of Angels and Hanging Up. She has an incredible screen presence.

This woman shepherded me through every broken heart, I love her x

I love Meg Ryan! When Harry Met Sally…, Sleepless in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail are all such comforting films/rom-coms. I also remember watching the animated Anastasia movie with her. I cant wait to watch What Happens Later! I’m so glad she’s back. I hear she’s working on a Netflix movie!

Meg Ryan in late 80s and 90s was the top of the game.

[bettersecret]

So happy she is starting to look herself again. I want her to have a gigantic comeback

[mlou]

I LOVED her outfits in You've Got Mail. Definitely timeless. I'm surprised they didn't include "The Women." She's a fashion designer in it and most of her outfits are highly stylized.

[dreamchampagne]

She is so eloquent and personable. Super refreshing interview!

[AttnDefDis_]

I loved a lot of her short, choppy hairstyles. They really suited her. Always liked Meg Ryan.

Sat next to her and John Mellencamp at a Broadway show in NY back in 2019. At one point something dramatic happened in the Show and she grabbed my arm. She was so sweet. During intermission she apologized. I said “no worries” have at it.

I love Meg Ryan. "When Harry met Sally" is one of my all time favourite movies. 🥰

[tubespider]

There was a time when one couldn't imagine a romcom without her. I have never watched an interview with Meg in my life although I must have watched almost all of her movies including the non romcom ones. She is such an incredible actress. I decided to google her out of the blue this morning and voila, thank you Glamour.
