What Meg Ryan Has Done Since Top Gun
Meg Ryan played Carole Bradshaw in Top Gun, and that was only the beginning of a successful acting career that took off in the late 1980s and the 1990s – and here’s what Meg Ryan has done since Top Gun. Meg Ryan’s acting career began in 1981 in the drama movie Rich and Famous, after which she joined the soap opera As The World Turns, where she played Betsy Stewart for two years, becoming part of the main cast. Ryan’s career continued with the horror movie Amityville 3-D in 1983, the sitcom Charles in Charge, and the TV series Wildside, and in 1986, she was cast in Tony Scott’s action drama movie Top Gun.
Top Gun tells the story of Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise), a young naval aviator training at the Top Gun Naval Fighter Weapons School. Maverick’s reckless and cocky attitude puts him at odds with other pilots, especially Tom “Iceman” Kazansky (Val Kilmer), and after losing his best friend Nick “Goose” Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards), Maverick is given a second chance to redeem himself. Maverick struggles to be at his best, while also fighting for the attention of his flight instructor, Charlotte Blackwood (Kelly McGillis). Meg Ryan played Carole Bradshaw, Goose’s wife, and her big break arrived a couple of years later.
