Ali MacGraw’s Amazing Life & Loves
Meeting Steve
When the role of Carol McCoy in the film The Getaway was offered to Ali, she declined the part. She had just given birth to her son and she did not want to part with him yet. The actor she would star opposite was Steve McQueen, who was probably the biggest movie star in America that time. He was very particular in his request, he wanted the ‘actress who was in Love Story’ to play his love interest. Ali’s husband was no help either, instead of supporting Ali’s rejection of the movie; he insisted she do it because it would be good for her career. Robert Evans had no idea he was egging on his wife towards a direction that would end in their divorce.
