Ali MacGraw, born Elizabeth Alice MacGraw on April 1, 1939, in Pound Ridge, New York, is a celebrated American actress, model, author, and animal rights activist.

Best known for her roles in “Love Story” and “The Getaway,” MacGraw’s life and career have been marked by dramatic highs and personal challenges.

Growing up in an artistic household, MacGraw’s interest in the arts was nurtured by her parents, both accomplished artists. After studying art history at Wellesley College, she worked in the fashion industry, including roles at Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue.

Breakthrough in Film
MacGraw’s striking looks and charisma led her from modeling to acting. She made her film debut in 1968’s “A Lovely Way to Die,” but her role in “Goodbye, Columbus” (1969) earned her a Golden Globe. Her breakout came in 1970 with “Love Story,” earning her an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe, making her a household name.
