Ah, the blissful days before everybody knew the sun hated us, and baby oil was considered "suntan lotion".

That’s definitely not a lychee. Most likely a strawberry.

I always liked her too. She and Steve made a great couple.

My mom shocked me by giving me tickets to see Bon Jovi/Cinderella in Atlanta on my 17th birthday in 1988!! Man I got good memories from that night!!🤯

I'm an old guy and was enthralled with Ali Mac Graw, when I saw her in Love Story. She's older now and so am I, and I think that her marriage to Ryan O'Neil sort of slowed things down, although she made more movies.
I liked her and Steve McQueen in The Getaway and I really should see it again. . Seems like that was a long time ago.
I'm 74 years old and Ali is 84 years old this year. Go figurel.

My parents had that exact same end table, and a sofa with an eerily similar pattern.

Hmmm ... maybe you're right.
On the one hand, the outside isn't the bright red of a strawberry, and looks to me more like to reddish brown of a lychee. But on the other hand, that could be down to the colour limitations of the photographic film. Also, strawberries would be much more likely to show up in a New York fruit shop in the 1940s than a lychee.
