70s bombshell once married to Steve McQueen stuns at 85 in rare outing… can you guess who it is?
Fans of the 1970 blockbuster Love Story were thrilled after one of the film’s stars made a rare appearance in New Mexico looking absolutely radiant at the age of 85.
The iconic actress, who first appeared on screen in 1969’s Goodbye, Columbus, turned heads Tuesday while running errands in a casual ensemble of a cardinal sweater and jeans.
The look was a far cry from the glamorous red carpet dresses she once wore with her leading men, including Steve McQueen, whom she divorced in 1978 after five years of marriage.
Famous for her long, beautiful brunette locks, the actress now rocks silver hair just as beautifully, showing that time has only enhanced her natural beauty.
After leaving Tinseltown in 1978 for a quieter life away from the spotlight — and a string of high-profile romances with Robert Evans, Warren Beatty and others — she still looked camera-ready during her rare outing.

If you guessed Ali MacGraw, you’re right!
Born on April 1, 1939 in Pound Ridge, New York, MacGraw attended Wellesley College, studying art and English before pursuing a career as a model and briefly assisting famed photographer Richard Avedon.
Her acting career began in 1969 with Goodbye, Columbus, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.
However, it was her role as Jenny Cavilleri in Love Story that made her a household name and earned an Academy Award nomination.
In 1972, she starred opposite McQueen in The Getaway, which cemented her status as one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
However, MacGraw’s personal life was as turbulent as her career was successful.
She married McQueen in 1973, sparking a romance that would be marked by struggles with substance abuse.
“He was incredibly attractive most of the time, but there was also danger, there was a bad boy there,” she said People in 2018, reflecting on their complicated relationship.

The couple split in 1977 after five years of intense highs and lows – three years before McQueen’s death from cancer.
“I wish we’d both grown old sober,” MacGraw admitted, adding, “There were wonderful days and terrible days.”
Still, she was quick to clarify, “I am not a victim in any way. There were a lot of moments that were just great and there were a lot of moments that were just awful.”
Despite a top career, MacGraw left Hollywood in the late 1970s.
She later settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she embraced a more private life, appearing occasionally in film and TV, but never returning to the level of fame she once had.
