Meg’s other films include Courage Under Fire (1996) with Denzel Washington, City of Angels (1998) with Nic Cage, and Proof of Life (2000) with Russell Crowe (1961). She made her directing debut in 2016 with Ithaca, starring Sam Shepard and her long-time costar Tom Hanks.

Living in California, Meg is marking her milestone birthday with a low-key celebration surrounded by close friends and family, including her daughter, Daisy Ryan, 17, and son, Jack Quaid, 29. “I love my age. I love my life right now. I love the person I’ve become,” she gushed to a reporter.'
