During the '90s, three actresses ruled the rom-com romp in three different styles: the sultry and charming Julia Roberts, the clumsy and charming Sandra Bullock, and the lovely charming Meg Ryan.
Meg Ryan's films were some of the highest-grossing and enduring films of what was called the golden age of romantic comedy. Her participation in a tape was synonymous with the fact that the tape would do well.
Ryan was known as America's Sweetheart, or America's Sweetheart, men liked her and women wanted to be friends with her, so what happened?
The personal becomes public
In addition to romantic comedies, Ryan participated in other more dramatic love stories such as An Angel in Love with Nicholas Cage.
The actress was married to an actor who was also popular at the time, although much less than her, Dennis Quaid. Surely you remember him as the father of the Twins game or in The day after tomorrow. Together they had a son.
In 2000, Ryan was shooting a more dramatic film with Australian Russel Crowe, Proof of Life. Someone on staff told the tabloids that Ryan and Crowe, both married, were having an affair on set.
The problem of double standards of Meg Ryan
When the romance became public, the image of Meg Ryan quickly fell in popularity. The film she made with Crowe was a box office disaster and all her subsequent attempts to return to the cinema were also.
While Meg Ryan's career went to waste, as the public turned its back on her for cheating on her husband, Crowe's continued as if nothing had happened.
Both divorced, but he was recognized with Oscar nominations and participated in tapes acclaimed by critics and audiences.
What happened with Meg Ryan's
It wasn't until a few years ago that Meg Ryan decided to talk about what really happened. She indeed7 had months of a relationship with Russell Crowe.
However, he also talked about her problems in her marriage to Quaid, how he had been unfaithful to her countless times, and how they were on the brink of divorce before her relationship with Crowe.
While Ryan loved making movies, she didn't love the scrutiny of the press. So having to retire from her has been something of a relief in her life.
