Once hailed as one of Hollywood’s most beautiful women, Ali MacGraw is now 86—and still captivating audiences. The iconic actress, best remembered for her role in Love Story (1970), was recently seen in New York City looking elegant in a sleek black suit. With her silver hair swept back, she completed the look with kitten heels and a simple black handbag.
MacGraw’s rise to fame came relatively late compared to many of her peers. She began in her 30s and quickly made an impact. Her breakout role in Goodbye, Columbus (1969) earned her a Golden Globe, setting the stage for her next career-defining moment.
That moment arrived in 1970 with Love Story, where she played Jenny Cavilleri opposite Ryan O’Neal. The romantic drama became a global hit and solidified her status as a star. MacGraw won another Golden Globe and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.
The film also gave pop culture one of its most memorable lines: “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” Even decades later, the phrase remains part of the cultural conversation, inseparably linked to MacGraw’s performance.
