Meg Ryan is convinced her Hollywood career is nearly over – as film options are limited for women over 40.

The Sleepless in Seattle star had long been considered America’s sweetheart, but she decided to take a break from the limelight following her 2001 divorce from Dennis Quaid.

And Ryan admits that at 46, she will never be able to recapture her previous fame – because there are less starring roles available to women over a certain age.

She says, “I think when Hollywood is done with me, I will probably be done with it. I’m not interested in playing those stock characters any more and I don’t feel sad that I don’t get those kind of offers.”

Meg Ryan felt guilty over her divorce from Dennis Quaid – even though she was only partly to blame.

Ryan reveals it wasn’t until after the dissolution of her ten-year marriage in 2001 that she learned details of Quaid’s alleged infidelity, adding that she blamed herself for the pair’s split long after their separation.

She tells InStyle: “When the woman cheats, it’s the woman’s fault. When the man cheats, it’s the woman’s fault.”

The When Harry Met Sally star insists she felt like “a scarlet woman having a reckless affair that destroyed my marriage” after being attacked by the media for straying from actor Quaid.

Although she remains quiet on many of the details, Ryan did admit on Good Morning America: “The truth is I had a very complicated marriage… the last few years I’ve confused a lot of people really. I’m not interested in opening up my marriage, I just feel like every now and then you have to fill in the gaps for people… We’re not friends really, but we’re friendly.”

Ryan and Quaid have a 16-year-old son, Jack Henry.

She’s starting to look cute again!  She was getting kind of homely, there for a while.

PS: I cannot wait to see The Women (out this Friday).

Mega Ryan feels fortunate she is no longer one of Hollywood’s leading actresses – because she now enjoys an anonymous existence traveling the world.

The Sleepless in Seattle star had long been considered America’s sweetheart until her 2000 fling with Crowe ended her marriage with Dennis Quaid and flung her into the pages of the tabloids.

She insists it was a sobering experience to realise she had fallen from favor – but now enjoys her relative anonymity because it allows her to travel with her children.

She tells FoxNews.com, “I think it’s great being less famous. I blame the fact I had, shall we say, a meeting with Russell Crowe. I had never seen or heard such bad press about me here and it’s been great in a funny kind of way and, you know, a good thing too because I now realize the world does not revolve around me.”

Meg Ryan never got a happy ending like her romantic comedy characters.

“It’s very difficult to be a career person and have a relationship,” she tells Hello magazine. “I didn’t succeed at doing it at all. It’s incredibly hard.

“I think you have to figure out some way of keeping all of those capabilities and requirements in your life in balance,” the 46-year-old adds.

Ryan split from Dennis Quaid, whom she’d been married to for 10 years, after having an affair with Proof of Life co-star Russell Crowe in 2000.

But that relationship soon fizzled.

“I empowered myself by not staying in the thing with Russell,” she said in 2006. “I felt it was going to be repeating some similar patterns that I’d just gotten out of and it was a drag because I was crazy about him.”

Ryan later told Oprah Winfrey that, “Russell wasn’t a homewrecker,” because her relationship with Quaid was already on the outs before she got involved with him.

The actress, who appears in The Women next month, has been lying low.

She adopted daughter Daisy True, 3, from China two years ago. She’s also mother to Jack Henry, 15, from her marriage to Quaid.
