I am adding a few screen captures of Meg Ryan & her co-stars in "The Women", click on the thumbnails below to access the pictures :

Damn, that was a LONG hiatus for Meg Ryan Network! I am extremely sorry that the site was unavailable for such a long time : we went through so many problems, I'd get a headache just thinking about this again. The important thing is, the site is back, even though your webmistress Julie has more or less left due to many personal reasons. I've always been the administrator of the site though, so it's not like I'm a total stranger. I'll try to catch up on important things that should have been uploaded long ago, and while I'm working on bringing the gallery back to life... well you can visit our brand new forum. You'll need to register to post though. Have fun!!!

Okay, so the pictures are back online, you can even access the gallery now -with a new layout- , BUT please keep in mind that we still have tons of changes to make. Most of the thumbnails are looking weird, but the pictures are in good quality... We basically just need a bit of time to change the thumbnails and everything will look fabulous
While I'm at it, the message board is currently taking a break. The database was spammed, so I think we'll have to install a new forum & then you will have to subscribe again (sorry about that). It's entirely my fault though, I was busy with other things and I couldn't keep up with the new members' posts... I think you also noticed the site itself was not very updated lately. I'm working on that. I'll also write back to those of you who sent me messages and affiliation requests.

This is just a quick note to let you know we have just moved the site to another server, and we're taking this opportunity to organize the gallery a little bit... so it won't be available for a while but it will come back as soon as humanly possible. Thank you!

I found the scans on a message board and unfortunately the quality isn't the best, so it's an opportunity for me to remind you that I do NOT live in the USA, which means I can't easily access your press medias... So if you want to contribute to the site, I'm always looking for help on the scans front ;-)



Also, Mirik has kindly scanned a page with a picture of Meg for the site, here it is :

Actress Meg Ryan has warned wannabe actors against distressing aspects of being famous, and has asked them to be cautious about stardom. The 'When Harry Met Sally' actress said that she found it really traumatising to be a 'star'.

"When I first because famous, it was kind of traumatising, actually. You just constantly feel like you're getting hit," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.
The 45-year-old added that there is no calculable 'upside' to being famous. Meg Ryan added that one could also have money without fame.

"I would say there's no real upside to fame. No really measurable one. There's money, but that doesn't necessarily come along with fame," she added.

The actress also said that when you try to assess the advantages of being a star, it would strike you that you can have all these benefits without being a star.
"People always say that they can get dinner reservations, but, come on, you could always figure out some other way to get dinner reservations," she said.

Early in "In the Land of Women" young Hollywood writer Carter Webb (Adam Brody) is gently dumped by his foreign fashion model girlfriend (Alena Enaya). She does it in a busy coffee shop so the poor schlub can't even make a scene. He just sits there looking misty-eyed and miserable as the love of his life walks away.
Next thing you know he's in suburban Michigan, ostensibly to look in on his senile, hermit-like grandmother (Olympia Dukakis) but mostly to get away from anything remotely resembling romance and heartbreak. He has come to the wrong place. Grandma lives across the street from an upwardly mobile family comprising a largely absent father and three women.

Sarah (Meg Ryan) is a stay-at-home mom with fulfillment issues, a philandering husband and a case of breast cancer.
Her teenage daughter Lucy (Kristen Stewart) is going through a rebellious phase - she makes snarky anti-consumer comments about having to live in a Crate & Barrel showroom. Much of her anger stems from her indecision about when and how to ease into the world of opposite-sex relationships. Little Paige (Makenzie Vega) is one of those precious 10-going-on-30 types whose intellect is a good decade ahead of her emotions.

All three will project on the 26-year-old Carter their fears, desires, frustrations and hopes.

"In the Land of Women" is the directing debut of Jon Kasdan, who also wrote the screenplay. It's hardly a perfect affair. Kasdan too often goes for cheap moments, whether dramatic or comedic - for example, Carter's regular gig is writing scripts for soft-core porn productions. But he has drawn such terrific performances from his players that the film's shortcomings are excusable.

Meg Ryan is a revelation. The ex-America's Sweetheart digs into her role as a disaffected suburban mom with a fierceness and fragility. She lets herself look haggard here, but at the same time she's astonishingly sexy. It's a career performance.

Stewart, who just a few years ago played Jodie Foster's androgynous daughter in "The Panic Room," has blossomed into a young beauty with acting chops to spare. Her delightfully off-balance performance blends innocence, anger, artistic impulse and seductiveness (the character is blissfully oblivious to how she affects boys).

Dukakis serves mostly as a comedic foil as the out-of-touch Granny, who doesn't quite believe that this young man is the same kid who used to visit.
Holding down the center is Brody, late of TV's "The O.C." and "Gilmore Girls." His persona melds Topher Grace and Zach Brach without either's self-consciousness. He's a normal-looking guy who can be funny but never goes overboard; essentially this is a straight performance with some drolly amusing moments, but he manages to take even the most strained moment or line of dialogue and make it not only palatable but compelling.

Best of all he walks a tightrope between compassion and self-obsession. This is a guy who describes himself as a good listener but who is usually too wrapped up in his own emotions to hear anyone. That makes him the perfect backboard against which these women can lob their emotional three-pointers. And he makes it all look easy.

If you haven't noticed, one of America's favorite romantic comedy actresses, Meg Ryan, 45, hasn't been in your nearest movie theater since 2003's Against the Ropes. But she has a good excuse: she's been laying low and concentrating on raising Jack, 15, her son with ex-husband Dennis Quaid, and her 2-year-old daughter Daisy True, whom she adopted from China last year. Meg is back to work now though, with two new movies out this year, one being In the Land of Women. Meg sits down with Redbook magazine, where she talks about her kids and life as a single mother.

On raising a toddler: Although many moms find toddlers to be headstrong and difficult at times, Meg thinks Daisy is easy. She says, 'Daisy doesn't feel hard. She doesn't feel like...there's no sweat on it man. She's a good hang, and she's easy. She's very smart and she's very generous. I love that she's funny. I love that. I just can't imagine what it was like before she came. Life is good, it's so good with her in it. She and Jack get along great. All of us fit together beautifully.'

On finding Daisy: Meg shares that in China, the adoption process includes a lottery system and Daisy was randomly assigned to her. Meg then immediately adds, 'But that said, I am convinced, completely convinced that there was nothing random about it. She is the daughter I should have. I never felt like I was on a rescue mission or anything like that. I just really wanted a baby; I was on a mission to connect with somebody, and Daisy and I got to meet each other this way at this time. We are so compatible. And also having the experience of having had Jack and now to have Daisy in a different way -- there's no difference in the love you feel.'

Meg is also convinced that how she got Jack was just as much of a lottery: 'Kids come into the world who they are. Jack is as different from me as Daisy is. Jack is different from his dad. He's his own guy, and that's how kids come, no matter how you get them. It's just as much of a lottery with your own biological children as it is with an adopted child half the world away.'

In some ways, Meg thinks it's easier being a single parent to Jack and Daisy: 'I mean, Jack has his dad and they're close, he'll always have that. But when you're the only one in the house with the kids, you get to be the one in charge. You're the one making the rules. There's no stress because you and some other adult don't agree on how you want to raise your kids.'
