LOVE LETTERS WILL BE PERFORMED WITHOUT AN INTERMISSION.
ALI MACGRAW (Melissa Gardner) was born in Westchester County, New
York and attended Wellesley College where she studied art history, languages
and literature. She began her professional career as Diana Vreeland’s assistant
at Harper’s Bazaar. After leaving Harper’s Bazaar, she went to work as a stylist
for photographer Melvin Sokolsky in New York for six years. Ali’s acting career
began when producer Stanley R. Jaffe and director Larry Peerce offered her
the leading role of Brenda Patimkin in the screen version of Philip Roth’s short
novel, Goodbye, Columbus. The movie was an international success, opening to
tremendous popular and critical acclaim. Wanting her next film to be something
special, Ali looked for a script that touched her on a personal level. That picture
was Love Story and it proved to be her major break. An original screenplay (and
later a best selling novel) by Erich Segal, the film earned Ali international fame,
an Academy Award nomination, a Golden Globe award, and many additional
honors worldwide. Ali’s third picture, The Getaway, co-starring Steve McQueen,
completed her trio of blockbuster films. Nevertheless, after The Getaway, Ali
took a five-year hiatus from Hollywood to raise her son Joshua. She returned to
the screen to co-star in Sam Peckinpah’s Convoy with Kris Kristofferson. Other
film credits include Players co-starring Dean Paul Martin, and Just Tell Me What
You Want, directed by Sidney Lumet and co-starred Alan King and Myrna Loy. Ali
has appeared in a number of television projects, starring in Herman Wouk’s epic
mini-series, “The Winds of War,” with Robert Mitchum. In addition, she gueststarred for a season on the popular ABC-TV series, “Dynasty.” Ali published her
autobiography, Moving Pictures, (Bantam Books) and watched it climb the New
York Times Bestseller List. The book went on to become an international bestseller in England, France and South America. She also teamed up with Warner
Home Video to distribute an instructional yoga video called “Yoga Mind & Body.”
The video features respected yoga instructor Erich Schiffmann. It was filmed
in beautiful Whites Sands, New Mexico and remains popular in the U.S. and in
Europe selling over 500,000 copies.
Ali currently lives in New Mexico. She travels extensively, appearing in documentaries and working on behalf of numerous social, animal and environmental
causes including the Humane Society of the United States, Animal Protection
of New Mexico and a number of specific animal sanctuaries. She is actively
involved with the Santa Fe Rape Crisis and Trauma Treatment Center, the Lensic
Theatre for the Performing Arts, Santa Fe Pro Musica, the Tibetan Center of
Santa Fe, and many other New Mexico non-profits. She received the Luminaria
Award in 2008 from the Santa Fe Community Foundation, and the Governor’s
Award for contribution to the Arts in the same year.
RYAN O’NEAL (Andrew Makepeace Ladd III). Born Patrick Ryan O’Neal on
April 20, 1941 in Los Angeles, California, Ryan O’Neal was born into show
business as the son of writer Charles “Blackie” O’Neal and actress Patricia
O’Callaghan. Determined to make his own way, O’Neal trained to become
a professional boxer, competing in two Golden Gloves championships in Los
Angeles in 1956 and 1957. He had an impressive amateur fighting record – 18
wins to 4 losses, with 13 knockouts. In the late 1950s, O’Neal and his family
moved to Germany for his father’s job writing broadcasts for Radio Free Europe. O’Neal landed his first job in the entertainment industry as a stuntman on
the American television series Tales of the Vikings. In 1964, O’Neal’s first major
television role on Peyton Place led him to starring in films such as The Big Bounce
(1969), and The Games (1970). His big break soon followed when he was
chosen from more than 300 hopefuls for the role of Oliver Barrett opposite Ali
MacGraw in Arthur Hiller’s adaptation of Erich Segal’s best-seller Love Story in
1970. The film was a huge success and landed O’Neal both Oscar and Golden
Globe nominations for Best Actor. After Love Story, O’Neal turned to comedy
and starred opposite Barbra Streisand in smash hit What’s Up, Doc (1971). He
then starred with Warren Oates and Jacqueline Bisset in The Thief Who Came To
Dinner (1973). O’Neal next played a drifter working con games with his daughter (played by real life daughter, Tatum) in the critically acclaimed hit Paper Moon
(1973) for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Actor. Tatum
won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role. O’Neal then
went on to star in Stanley Kubrick’s 1975 historical drama Barry Lyndon; Oliver’s
Story, a sequel to Love Story in 1978; and the noir hit The Driver, also in 1978. In
1979, O’Neal scored another box office win with The Main Event, starring again
with Barbra Streisand. In 1979, O’Neal met and fell in love with actress Farrah
Fawcett. Together they had one child, a son Redmond. O’Neal and Fawcett costarred in the made-for-TV miniseries Small Sacrifices (1989), based on the true
story of Diane Downs. O’Neal returned to episodic television, again co-starring
with real-life love, Farrah Fawcett in 1991 with the sitcom Good Sports. O’Neal’s
other roles included starring alongside Robert Downey in Chances Are (1989),
Faithful co-starring Cher (1996), and the comedic Malibu’s Most Wanted (2003).
O’Neal can currently be seen on FOX’s hit crime drama “Bones” and will soon
make an appearance in Terrence Malick’s Knight of Cups (2015).
