View this post on Instagram"It was cliché, but it worked," MacGraw said to NPR about the film’s plot. "And everybody was completely flabbergasted when it had the reception that it had, which was right away."
In mid-February 1971, Herbert Ross' rom-com starring Barbra Streisand, The Owl and the Pussycat, bumped Hiller's romance from its pinnacle spot, but MacGraw and O’Neal quickly returned to the peak the following week.
The film itself even got the thumbs up from late famed critic Roger Ebert, who said at the time, “The film of Love Story is infinitely better than the book.”
“It was genuine and earnest and I think it just struck a chord," writer Francesca Segal, the daughter of Erich, told NPR, while celebrating the 50th anniversary edition of her father’s novel.
The line, often ridiculed, parodied, and dissected, was a mystery to MacGraw when she first said it. NPR shared that the model/actress had no clue at the time what Segal meant by it, but finds meaning in it years later.
Love also means never having to say your sorry for watching a sappy tearjerker in the middle of the day. So why not skipTitanic for the 100th time and queue up this 1970 classic instead?
