Last weekend my daughter and I watched the classic film,
Love Story.
Being 17, she could not get over how fabulous Ali MacGraw was.
I could not get over what a mouth she had in that movie!
Kinda forgot about that part. oops! Anyway, after the movie,
I was reminded of the great real-life love story between
Steve McQueen & Ali MacGraw.
When she first caught his eye, actor Steve McQueen sent the actress a bunch of daisies. The simple gesture apparently failed to interest her and she threw the flowers into the trash can. The persistent McQueen decided to send her an enormous bunch of daisies delicately arranged in a galvanized trash can. She then returned the gesture. According to the Beverly Hills florist, the daisies flew back and forth between them in a variety of trash cans until the two were eventually married. A wonderful love story, indeed!
Ali MacGraw today at 70 and still a classic beauty!
Wow, I can't believe she is 70 and still gorgeous. I bet my girls would love this movie too! When you have a chance come by my blog I have something for you. Oh, and I love the Daisy's in the can...perfect!

Such a delightful story Lisa! Son #4 @ 27 has just discovered Steve McQueen! I must relate this story to him, to remind him that action heroes can be incurable romantics as well!
ReplyDeleteMillie ^_^
Wow! She looks good for 70! Thank you for reminding me of that movie. I loved it!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness... she hasn't changed at all! That's amazing... even for Hollywood!
ReplyDeleteBy chance I saw Ali at the Market in Tesuque where the locals hang out just outside Santa Fe.
ReplyDeleteI always thought she was a beauty.....but seeing her in person...I was stunned and how much more beautiful she was in person.....She had just returned from her hair stylist.....and was asking her friends if they liked her hair.....even the staff at the market spoke to her and seemed to be included in her circle of friends.
wow. she does 70 very, very well. -susan
