Meg Ryan
Born: 19 November 1961 Fairfield, Connecticut, USA
Height: 5' 8"
Measurements: 34B/C-24-33
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... (1989). It was favorably received and typecast Ryan as a bubbly, charming, feisty, but incurable romantic. She made several attempts to break away from this stereotype, and garnered some critical acclaim for her work in When a Man Loves a Woman (in which she played an alcoholic) and Courage Under Fire (in which she played a military officer killed in combat). Many of her films of the 1990s were hits not only in North America, but also abroad. She had a very popular on-screen pairing with Tom Hanks: some compared their chemistry to Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. They starred in three films together, and their last, (1998's You've Got Mail), was Ryan's last major box office success for some years to come.
Ryan married actor Dennis Quaid on Valentine's Day in 1991, after starring in two films with him. Ryan only agreed to marry him after he kicked his drug and alcohol addiction. Quaid and Ryan have one child together, Jack Henry, born April 24, 1992. The couple divorced on July 16, 2001. Although Ryan had a relationship with actor Russell Crowe, with whom she was working on a movie, both she and Quaid deny it was a factor in their divorce. Ryan indicated in 2006 in an interview with Allure that Quaid had not been faithful to her during their marriage

The Doors:
Though the flame was snuffed out too early, the Doors left an indelible footprint on the history of rock and roll with their blend of poetry, heady-but-heavy music, and high rock theater. Front man Jim Morrison's live antics--which have become the stuff of legend--can be amply witnessed on this video tracking the Doors' 1968 European tour. Filmed in London, Frankfurt, Stockholm, and Amsterdam, this rare live footage is narrated by Grace Slick and Paul Kantner of the Jefferson Airplane, the Doors' opening band for that tour. Fantastic live performances of the tour de force "When the Music's Over," the antiwar "Unknown Soldier," the revolution-inciting "Five to One," and many others, are accompanied by firsthand anecdotes, making LIVE IN EUROPE an intriguing glimpse into the powerful, mysterious world of this seminal band.
"...THE DOORS is a thrilling spectacle - the KING KONG of rock movies..." -- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone This movie contains nude scenes.
