Actress. Born on November 19, 1961, Fairfield, Connecticut. Winsome blonde leading lady of Hollywood films of the 80's and 90's. The daughter of an actress-turned-casting agent, she began her own acting career directly out of high school, playing Candice Bergen's daughter in Rich and Famous (1980). Later, while taking night classes in journalism at NYU, she performed in commercials and gained a measure of popularity among soap-opera fans with her two-year stint in the daytime serial "As the World Turns." Secondary parts in films followed including a small but pivotal role in Top Gun. When Harry Met Sally (1989), in which she demonstrated her ability to fake an orgasm to great comic effect, made her a star. She continued to appear as a reliable romantic lead and reached even greater success with the romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle (1993). In 1991 she married actor Dennis Quaid, with whom she has starred in a handful of films.
