Ali MacGraw | Born 1939

Ali MacGraw will always be Jenny in the classic romantic comedy Love Story. The 1970 film received seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Actress. It was one of the highest-grossing flicks of all time, and it provided a quote for the ages. However, while MacGraw’s film career began with a string of popular credits, she acted more sporadically in the following years, and her last on-screen role was in 1997.

Outside of the movie industry, MacGraw lives a quieter life these days, though she recently came out of acting retirement for a special reunion with Love Story co-star Ryan O’Neal. She has followed other interests since quitting acting. MacGraw is an active promoter of animal rights and has worked with organizations that advocate for them.
