Although Meg Ryan never dreamed of becoming an actress, but a teacher, she eventually pursued a career in journalism. This is how it appeared on television, immediately arousing interest among both viewers and producers. Her first roles in commercials and then in soap operas provided her with further engagements and opened the door to her career, which she decided to take advantage of without a second thought.
She was “America’s sweetheart.” Ryan helped Quaid overcome his addictions. He repaid her with betrayals
She made her screen debut in 1981 in the last drama “Rich and Famous” directed by George Cukor. Just 6 years later, she appeared on the set of a science fiction comedy, in which she starred alongside Dennis Quaid. Even though the actor was considered a womanizer and had serious drug problems, she was charmed by something about him. However, the feeling arose only after a year, when they starred together in the thriller “Deceased on Arrival”. On February 14, 1991, they got married, and then their only son, Jack, was born.
Under the influence of Ryan Quaid, he underwent a spectacular metamorphosis. He overcame addictions and gave the impression of a committed husband and father. – I liked cocaine. I liked to drift away. I even missed her a little – after many years, adding that drugs “were camouflagedly included in film budgets.” However, their perfect marriage was illusory and the main problem was . Ryan knew perfectly well about his transgressions, but she tried to save the marriage for her son. As it turned out, it was in vain.
They met on the set and their romance was gossiped about for months. Was Crowe to blame for the breakdown of Ryan’s marriage?
In the early 2000s, Ryan’s relationship with Quaid existed only formally. It was then that she got a role in “Proof of Life”, on the set of which she met . The feeling between them arose suddenly and before they knew it, the news reached the media. From “America’s sweetheart,” Ryan became a “sinner.” A few weeks after the scandal broke, she announced her separation from her husband, but few believed her assurances that their relationship had already been in crisis. Crowe and Ryan did not disappear from the headlines, and photojournalists constantly followed their every move.
The producers of “Proof of Life” were convinced that the publicity would translate into viewership results, but after the premiere they experienced a painful disappointment because they did not even recover the production costs. The scandal did not subside, and Ryan became more and more overwhelmed by it and eventually broke up with the star. – Suddenly I became a tabloid heroine. Everywhere I went, people stopped talking and stared at me. For them I was a sinner – she told The Guardian. However, she did not return, and their divorce was finalized on July 16, 2001.
Many years later, she admitted that she decided to break up much too late, revealing what their life together was really like. – It was a very unsuccessful marriage and for some time we had nothing in common. I think I should have left much earlier and I really regret that things turned out this way. It wasn’t about my affair with another man. We simply couldn’t live together, she argued, adding that at that time it was Crowe who took care of her and bravely endured criticism, even though he was not guilty of anything. – Russell did not break up our marriage, although he received a lot of beatings for it, and yet he was noble enough not to comment on the allegations. (…) I will always be grateful to him for this, she said.
