  • As a red carpet reporter, Meg has interviewed dozens of celebrities for outlets including InStyle, HuffPost and Entertainment Weekly. Her first movie premiere was in 2004 for "Vanity Fair," starring Reese Witherspoon. Other notable red carpets have included "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," "Sex and the City: The Movie," all of the "Twilight" films, and "The Hobbit" (in New Zealand).
  • Since 2011, she has written the beauty pages for The Hollywood Reporter, including its annual beauty issue that has featured the likes of Zendaya, Margot Robbie, Anne Hathaway and Drew Barrymore on the cover.
  • Meg's mother exposed her to classic films from a young age and no one captured her heart like Audrey Hepburn (along with her leading men Cary Grant and Gregory Peck). While other teen girls may have had boy-band posters in their rooms, her walls were covered in Audrey.
