Meg Ryan had kind words reflecting on her role in “When Harry Met Sally” opposite Billy Crystal.
The John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts honored numerous creators in early December, including Crystal, Barry Gibb, Dionne Warwick, and Queen Latifah.
Ryan spoke on behalf of her former romantic lead at the ceremony.
The "You've Got Mail" star noted in her talk how the romantic comedy had come out decades ago, but she still appreciates the support it gets in the present day.
"Somehow, even a million years later, 'When Harry Met Sally' is still at the top of every list when people talk about their favorite rom coms," she said. "Which is flattering, amazing and humbling."
She touched on working with Crystal and how natural it was.
“And all I know is that acting with Billy was effortless, the characters just came alive and just meeting him, I don’t know how could you not love Billy Crystal,” she said.
"When Harry Met Sally" was directed by Rob Reiner and was released July 21, 1989.
