Ali MacGraw became a Hollywood star overnight but soon left show business behind. Now 85, she enjoys a quiet life in a small town, aging gracefully. Born in 1939 to artistic parents, her childhood was marked by financial struggles and her father’s unresolved trauma.
She started in fashion as a stylist before transitioning to modeling and acting. Her breakthrough came with Goodbye, Columbus (1969), followed by Love Story (1970), earning her an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe win.
MacGraw married producer Robert Evans but later fell for Steve McQueen while filming The Getaway. Their turbulent marriage ended in 1978, leading her to step away from Hollywood. After struggling with substance abuse, she pursued interior design and appeared in a few TV miniseries before fully embracing a private life.
Today, she cherishes time with her son Josh and grandson, finding peace outside the spotlight.
