Meg Ryan’s Top Five Rom-Com Roles, Ranked

As impossible as it may be to believe, Meg Ryan is 64 years old as of November 19. (Drop the skincare routine, queen!)

In honor of her reaching her mid-60s in fine and fabulous form, we’ve endeavored to round up her very best rom-com roles—not an easy task, given Ryan is to romantic comedies what perhaps Michael Jordan is to basketball. (Rest assured that people who actually understand basketball have confirmed to me that this comparison rings true.)

Ryan’s slayed more than her fair share of dramatic roles (Top Gun, anyone?), but in my heart of hearts, her more lighthearted work will always come first. Below, find a power ranking of Ryan’s five most unforgettable rom-com roles.
