Meg Ryan
Sure, Meg Ryan does not come to mind as an action star for most. And to be blunt, she isn’t one. Sorry, we still love you Meg.
Her roles in Top Gun as Goose’s wife, Sleepless in Seattle (don’t pretend you haven’t seen it), You’ve Got Mail and When Harry Met Sally all come to mind before any action-like films.
But there is at least one film that fits the mold. This blond bombshell takes on the role of a U.S. Army Captain, Karen Walden, in the film Courage Under Fire and gets her action on. While it is not necessarily equal to the others on this list (I would have rather have Jessica Biel on my team) it did earn her a spot on our list of fictional heroes.
