Ryan married actor Dennis Quaid on Valentine's Day in 1991 after co-starring in two films with him. Even during difficult times, she maintained her positive attitude saying, "All I need is an onion, a bit of bread, and a bottle of red (wine); and I will always find somebody to offer me that.". Many of her films of the 1990s have been hits not only in North America, but also abroad.

Her drawings and paintings comprised portraits and dreamy landscapes composed in a light, slightly uneven expressionist style that was very much a reflection of her own easy-going manner and boundless optimism. In 2003, she broke away from her usual roles, and starred in In the Cut, an erotic crime/thriller/mystery. A capable painter in her own right, a sold-out exhibition of Kiki's own paintings was held in Paris' Galerie au Sacre du Printemps in 1927. The movie was favorably received and crystallized Ryan's on-screen persona as a bubbly, charming, feisty but incurable romantic, a role she has largely reprised in her biggest roles since. She has a Daylily named after her: Kiki De Montparnasse. After several TV film and smaller movie roles, her first full-blown hit in a leading role was the romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally. Long after her time, Kiki remains the embodiment of the outspokenness, audacity, and creativity that marked this period of Montparnasse. Directors for this show especially liked working with her because she could cry on cue.

Ryan studied journalism at New York University. Ernest Hemingway and Tsuguharu Foujita provided the introduction for her 1929 memoirs.
