Thesp gets Actress of Year award

Meg Ryan, one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, will be honored as actress of the year at ShoWest 1999.

Ryan's "You've Got Mail" has earned more than $115 million since its December release, and last year's "City of Angels" grossed more than $78 million.

Other successful Ryan films include 1993's "Sleepless in Seattle," ($126.6 million), 1989's "When Harry Met Sally" ($92.2 million) and 1986's "Top Gun" ($176.7 million).

Ryan has received Golden Globe nominations for best actress in a comedy/musical for "Mail," "Sleepless" and "When Harry Met Sally," and was a 1995 SAG award nominee for her leading role in "When a Man Loves a Woman."

The ShoWest ceremony will be held March 9 at Bally's hotel and casino in Las Vegas.
