Sexy ali macgraw and Biography
Not only do we agree bout her beauty, Ali Macgraw was chosen by People magazine as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the world. "Love means never having to say you're sorry," went the early 1970s pop story that originated with the phenomenally popular Love Story (1970). But along with that catchy phrase we also got Ali MacGraw, whose star shone brightly for a while. This darkhaired, olive-skinned beauty, an art-history student at Wellesley before joining "Harper's Bazaar" in 1960 as a photographer's assistant, found working in front of the camera much more rewarding; her exotic features and inviting smile soon made her a top fashion model.
A bit role in a 1968 thriller, A Lovely Way to Die didn't exactly set the screen on fire, but MacGraw's film career ratcheted up a notch the following year with Goodbye, Columbus and she won surprisingly good notices for her portrayal of a spoiled, immature suburban girl headed for marriage. Love Story an unabashed three-handkerchief weepie that cast MacGraw as a college student whose tragic illness disrupts her rapturous romance, catapulted her to international stardom and earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. MacGraw played opposite future husband Steve McQueen in The Getaway (1972), a gritty thriller directed by Sam Peckinpah, before bowing out of the Hollywood scene; although she ostensibly retired to devote time to her marriage, MacGraw has revealed that she was plagued by serious personal problems as well. She returned to the screen in 1978's Convoy, a silly and lackluster trucker story which was also directed by Peckinpah. She followed that with Players (1979), a misfire in which she portrayed a kept woman.
Just Tell Me What You Want (1980) gave MacGraw an opportunity to display a hitherto unsuspected flair for comedy, playing the mistress of obnoxious tycoon Alan King. Her work in two well-received TV miniseries, "China Rose" and "The Winds of War," kept her in the public eye, but her big-screen career fizzled again. In 1991 she resurfaced, this time as spokesperson for a line of cosmetics, and as the author of a candid memoir, "Moving Pictures." MacGraw's son Josh Evans is also an actor.
