The actress made headlines when she announced her intention to divorce husband and fellow actor Dennis Quaid after nearly nine years of marriage. The pair first hit it off on the set of the ‘80s blockbuster “Innerspace”. Meg’s movies have gone a long way to help solidify and project a bubbly, cute girl-next-door image. It’s an on-screen persona that has, for the most part, become increasingly popular among audiences.		12.1%
