---- Adam@KnowNow.ComLONDON (Reuters) - Hollywood actress Meg Ryan has returned to her actor husband Dennis Quaid following a three-month fling with ``Gladiator'' star Russell Crowe, Britain's Express newspaper reported on Saturday. The 38-year-old actress who starred in ``When Harry Met Sally'' and ``Sleepless in Seattle'' was reported to have described her affair with New Zealand-born Crowe as a ``dreadful mistake.'' Quaid, 46, has dropped the divorce action he filed last month after Ryan begged his forgiveness, the paper said. Ryan's affair with Crowe took off in London when they were filming the up-coming film ``Proof of Life.'' ``Meg wants Dennis to forgive her and for them to put their lives back together again,'' a friend of the couple said in the Express, attributing the affair to a ``crazy mid-life crisis.'' -- http://my.aol.com/entertainment/story.tmpl?table=n&cat=0308&id=0008180712212104
