Jane Powell

Powell lives in Connecticut, USA, with her fifth husband, Dick Moore, and still performs today. Quaid and Ryan had one child together, Jack Henry, born April 24, 1992. Her stage roles include "South Pacific", "The Sound of Music", "Oklahoma!", "My Fair Lady", "Carousel", "The Girl Next Door and How She Grew", and "Irene". They divorced on July 16, 2001 after she had an indiscreet affair with actor Russell Crowe, with whom she was working on a movie. Since then Powell has continued to work in television, radio, and live performances. Ryan married actor Dennis Quaid on Valentine's Day in 1991 after co-starring in two films with him. By the end of the 1950s, Hollywood musicals began to lose popularity, and her film career ended. Many of her films of the 1990s have been hits not only in North America, but also abroad.

Her other films include: Rich, Young and Pretty (1951), Small Town Girl (1953), Three Sailors and a Girl (1953), Athena (1954), Deep in My Heart (1954), Hit the Deck (1955), and The Girl Most Likely (1957). In 2003, she broke away from her usual roles, and starred in In the Cut, an erotic crime/thriller/mystery. Her best know film is probably Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), which gave her the opportunity to play a more mature character than previous films. 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. Powell got the chance to sing and dance with Fred Astaire in Royal Wedding (1951), when she was brought in as a replacement for both June Allyson and Judy Garland. 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. Her first MGM musical was Holiday in Mexico (1946), which brought her to the public's attention, and she was later billed as the co-star in several films including A Date With Judy (1948), and Nancy Goes to Rio (1950). Directors for this show especially liked working with her because she could cry on cue.

She appeared in her first film, Song of the Open Road (1944), at age 15. 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. Born Suzanne Burce in Portland, Oregon, USA, she sang on the radio as a child, and performed in theater before her film career began in 1944. She went into acting to earn extra money while in school. She was the petite blonde with an operatic singing voice in many MGM musicals in the 1940s and 1950s. Ryan studied journalism at New York University. Jane Powell (born April 1, 1928) is an American actress. 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.
