They first teamed up in 'Joe vs. the Volcano,' then made box office magic happen in 'Sleepless in Seattle.' Then bubbly MEG RYAN got romantic with TOM HANKS again, this time in the cyber-comedy 'You've Got Mail,' an update of the '40s favorite 'The Shop Around the Corner.'

For the past decade, Ryan has reigned as one of Hollywood's most beloved actresses. She most recently starred in BRAD SILBERLING's 'City of Angels,' as the mortal woman who captures the heart of angel NICOLAS CAGE. She won acclaim for her performance as a woman soldier in the Gulf War drama, 'Courage Under Fire' (with DENZEL WASHINGTON). She supplied the voice of the animated title character in 'Anastasia.' She played a woman seeking revenge on her ex in 'Addicted to Love' (opposite MATTHEW BRODERICK). She won raves for her dramatic turn as an alcoholic mother in 'When a Man Loves a Woman,' opposite ANDY GARCIA.

And, of course, she won legions of fans as the romantically-confused Sally Albright in ROB REINER's classic romantic comedy 'When Harry Met Sally, written by NORA EPHRON.  Her other credits include LAWRENCE KASDAN's 'French Kiss,' FRED SCHEPISI's "I.Q," 'Flesh and Bone,' 'Innerspace,' 'D.O.A.,' 'The Presidio', 'Prelude to a Kiss,' and 'Restoration.'  For her performance opposied KEIFER SUTHERLAND in 'Promised Land,' Ryan earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination. 

Ryan studied journalism at NYU before making her motion picture debut as CANDICE BERGEN's daughter in 'Rich and Famous.' She next attracted the attention of moviegoers and critics with her 1986 performance as a fighter pilot's wife in 'Top Gun.'

Next up for the diminutive actress is a starring role in ANTHONY DRAZAN's 'Hurlyburly,' based on the DAVID RABE play and starring SEAN PENN, CHAZZ PALMINTERI, GARRY SHANDLING, KEVIN SPACEY, ANNA PAQUIN and ROBIN WRIGHT PENN.
