What has she done to herself?
I remember the first time I saw Meg Ryan; it was in the film Innerspace, and I thought she was the cutest, all-American girl-next-door actress I'd ever seen. She seemed real, which I suppose is what all actresses ought to strive for.
She captured the hearts of the American public in the romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally, perhaps the quintessential portrayal of big-city dating in the late '80s. Ryan's Sally reminded me of a college friend; they could have been sisters, only my Sally was even better looking than her cinematic doppelganger. Unlike Harry, "Sally" and I never got together . . . .
Sigh.
Anyhow, Meg made Sleepless in Seattle with Tom Hanks, and her place as moviegoers' favorite nice girl seemed secure.
But her marriage to Dennis Quaid fell apart amidst rumors of an affair with co-star Russell Crowe, and a series of ho-hum films left her career stalled as she entered her late-thirties and early forties.
Then I saw this picture, from a recent appearance on Oprah.
Aw, crap.
What on Earth has she done to herself? Is aging so horrific? I know that plastic surgery is the norm in LaLa Land, but this is just awful.

Wow, two freak shows in one day. If Michael and Meg had children....oh, nevermind. I think Meg was recommended to Melanie Griffith's plastic surgeon.
I wish I could say those photos made my tuna lunch go down easier, but such is not the case.
