Ali MacGraw’s Amazing Life & Loves
Critics Finally Take Notice
Ali was relatively an unknown actress when she made Goodbye, Columbus. But critics took notice of her performance, and the movie won her her first acting award. Richard Benjamin, her co-star from the movie, remembers the time they were searching for the actress to play Ali’s part. They went for a lunch break during audition day, and Benjamin saw a gorgeous woman get off the 79th Street crosstown bus and began walking towards Fifth Avenue. He pointed the girl out to the film director – that girl, of course, being Ali. Unlike some other stars who needed plastic surgery to improve their looks, Ali has always been a natural beauty.
