IN MY OPINION:

WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

MEG RYAN >>> WHEN HARRY MET SALLY >> SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE >> AS THE WORLD TURNS,,ETC.

While she never intended on becoming an actress, the mom of two said “for the most part,” she had fun throughout her acting heyday, yet often felt like she was watching someone else’s life unfold.

"I never wanted to be an actress. The whole idea of being a famous person ... I felt like a witness to, I didn’t feel exactly in it, and I think that was a really good thing,” she explained. I felt like a student of it in a way, or that I was watching it in an anthropological way."

"When you’re a famous person, there’s a certain degree of blankness that needs to happen so that people can project on you,” she added. “Despite what you may think, people don’t really want to know all that much about you. They want to imagine the best or the worst. So, when you’re caught in that, it really is interesting because you get reactions that have almost nothing to do with you and some that have everything to do with you, and you have to be this jiu-jitsu master to figure out what mirror you should actually be looking in."

Her heyday was before many of you were born, but she was an A list actress for almost 20 years... Now a producer etc.
