Jamie Jade Ryan was born to Philip Ryan, a New York native and a successful cardiothoracic surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian hospital, and to Lena Ryan, also a New York native (get the pattern?), an artist and a gallery owner. It was a typical love story between the serious, successful guy, who had his whole life planned out, and a bohemian spirited woman who lived to not plan at all. They fell in love immediately, thought of each other as soulmates, got married in the Dominican Republic, seven months later they got Jamie.. and that was it. They lived happily ever after. Scratch that. Sure they lived happily, just had to decide when Jamie was around eight years old that they were happier apart.. divorce was what followed. Fortunately for Jamie, her parents couldn’t care less about bureaucracy or court decisions because the only thing they truly cared for was their only daughter. So despite their divorce, Jamie grew up running from her mother’s home to her father’s home, which were only two buildings away from each other in Tribeca, whenever and however she wanted. As long as she was happy.
As an only child she was spoiled. Without any doubt. But it was more that she was spoiled by her parents’ love and care. Sure, she had money. How couldn’t she when her father was the one who was operating hearts of the most influential people on this planet? While on the other hand, her mother was selling those same people paintings of the artists whose names were hard to pronounce, while their paintings were even harder to understand. In any case, she had it all.. love from her parents, money in her pockets.. and various bank accounts.
After graduating from high school, which she’ll definitely remember by the crazy clubbing, lots of drinking and even more traveling all around the world, Jamie got into the Brown University, the alma mater of her mother, and not so much an alma mater of her father, who was the proud Yale alumni. But who cared? Sure, her father wanted for Jamie to follow into his footsteps, while her mother wanted for her to be a yoga teacher (seriously?), but she had decided to throw away both suggestions. It wasn’t that she had always wanted to become a TV producer, but she really didn’t want to become a surgeon nor a yoga teacher either. So when one of her father’s patients offered her an internship at NBC, she said yes. Why the hell not? It was on Manhattan, she could have lots of fun and meet lots of celebrities.. and so her internship had turned into a real job. Due to her chaotic nature, but definitely mixed up with good organizational skills, and her charismatic, bubbly and outgoing personality, it was no wonder Jamie had quickly became one of the producers of the famed and beloved Saturday Night Live.
So now it seemed the girl was the it girl of Manhattan.. with a successful career, amazing family and friends in her corner, a couple of failed relationships behind her, it was as if she was living the life every other person on this planet had dreamed of. But was that it? Was that all life had prepared for her? For God’s sake, she was 34 years old and had it all. And the thought of that scared the shit out of her. Either she’d climb up even more or she would spectacularly fall so hard that there’d be no chance for her to ever stand up again.. but hey, as the good old Henley wrote, she was a master of her fate, she was a master of her soul. And there was no chance in hell Jamie Ryan would ever fall down.. or not find her way up again.
