Plus they were 32 at the time playing 20 year old characters! And they looked 32 😎
They used to make incoming Harvard freshmen watch it all the way thru. Cruel and unusual punishment 😱

It’s just a good thing that happened, really.

I recently bought a little crocheted cap at a thrift store and was telling my husband how they had been all the rage when Love Story came out. She wore one in the film. I had one then, too. Everyone called them Ali McGraw hats, and I will forever think of them that way.
And I, too, am sick of the double standard. Yes, it prevails to this day.

You look like a kid drawn by André Franquin. 😄 (I loved him as a kid!)

Smoking; it's safer than diving near Russian cruisers.

I had a 1968 850 Spyder. I think this a 1967 model. The '68 had little side marker lights on the front and rear fenders that were not on the '67 and since I don't see the lights here, I conclude '67. If you could see the front it would be easy, the '67 had cool aerodynamic covers over the head lights, whereas the '68 had exposed vertical plain head lights. The side markers and the exposed head light was due to NHTSA regs that went into effect for 1968 and later models.

What’s weird is I distinctly remember people doing that. Anytime you went on someone’s boat in those days, there would be a bottle of that premade. I’m of Irish descent, and I think of my relatives using this stuff, and it’s horrifying 😱

Without knowing of you look like now, I’m going to say you aged very well.

Back when it was a big deal, the “Ladies Home Journal” would name someone “The Most Admired Woman In The World.” If the aforementioned woman who received the honor did something “bad” (think Liz Taylor) she would be taken off the list completely. It was Ethel Kennedy for a few years in the late Sixties, then Ali for 1970 - 2. Off course, she “Gotaway” with Steve and that was the end of that. Sick double standard then, and sadly still to some degree.
She’s wonderful, I love her. Also a very smart and well educated woman (Wellesley). Cheers! 😎
