Ali MacGraw
In film, there's so many little things where not just the actor can blow his lines, but technically, it doesn't quite come off in the perfect way envisioned.
Ali MacGraw

I think it's tough when you're very young and you maybe fall for the celebrity and being the center of attention.
Ali MacGraw
Modeling was so fleeting it doesn't count in my life scheme.
Ali MacGraw
People tell me that I am well-grounded. I am sane in the New England sense of the word.
