The trio were in good spirits at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall where a highly anticipated screening for his documentary, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, was being held.
After seeing the latest portraits, several fans said they felt Ryan was unrecognizable and displaying a shockingly different appearance that some attributed to cosmetic work.

In recent years, Ryan has been enjoying life outside of the movie biz. Her last acting role came in her directorial debut for the 2015 film Ithaca, in which she costarred alongside Tom Hanks.
Looking ahead, the Sleepless in Seattle star will be back with a witty new romantic comedy that she also directed and stars in called What Happens Later.
