Anne Ramsey (September 1, 1929 - August 11, 1988) was an American actress who is most recognized for two roles: as Mama Fratelli in Steven Spielberg's The Goonies; and as the mother of Danny DeVito's character in her Academy Award nominated performance in Throw Momma From the Train. Quaid and Ryan had one child together, Jack Henry, born April 24, 1992. They divorced on July 16, 2001 after she had an indiscreet affair with actor Russell Crowe, with whom she was working on a movie. Ryan married actor Dennis Quaid on Valentine's Day in 1991 after co-starring in two films with him. Many of her films of the 1990s have been hits not only in North America, but also abroad.

In 2003, she broke away from her usual roles, and starred in In the Cut, an erotic crime/thriller/mystery. The movie was favorably received and crystallized Ryan's on-screen persona as a bubbly, charming, feisty but incurable romantic, a role she has largely reprised in her biggest roles since. After several TV film and smaller movie roles, her first full-blown hit in a leading role was the romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally. Directors for this show especially liked working with her because she could cry on cue.

After a part in a feature film, Ryan, now using her new name Meg Ryan, landed the role of "Betsy" on the daytime drama As the World Turns from 1982 to 1984. She went into acting to earn extra money while in school. Ryan studied journalism at New York University. She specializes in romantic comedies, but has dabbled in other film genres as well.

She was born Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra in Fairfield, Connecticut. Meg Ryan (born November 19, 1961) is a blue-eyed, blonde-haired American actress.
