Love Story - How did Ali MacGraw get cast?

Ryan O'Neal: "She married the head of the studio!" {#emotions_dlg.lol}

He seems to have a great sense of humor!

She was so gorgeous back in the late '60's and '70's when she was the face for ""Love"" Cosmetics...a real natural beauty and trendsetter....

My question is: How did Ryan O'Neal get the part?

He was the handsome Rodney Harrington from Peyton Place.

Ali McGraw was beautiful. I loved Goodbye Columbus

She was terrific in her debut picture the year before, Goodbye Columbus, playing a beautiful Jewish American Princess, great, fun film.

She and O'Neal good friends, I saw them together on one of the last Oprahs.

OMG, she was dreadful in Love Story.

The faces she made were freaking hilarious! I remember going to see it with friends a few times just to imitate her faces.

neither could act, (both were pretty faces) was kind of my point, but i forgot how good she had been in Goodbye Columbus...

I think that she just got lucky with the good script in Goodbye Columbus.
