Did he get handsomer during his illness, as Ali Mcgraw got prettier in the movie "Love Story".

The youngins on FR won't get the above.

I know I'm bad, RIP Ryan.

He was great in Paper Moon.

My first date, when 16 and could drive, was to see LOVE STORY. My date was
a blonde neighbor who though younger had much more social finesse than did I.

Ryan starred with Tatum in Paper Moon. Talented family. Yes I had a small crush on Tatum as a kid.

RIP

“Love Story” the movie loosely based on Al Gore’s Life . . . or was that John Kerry?

I’m so glad his “loving team” was by his side at the end. Is that what they call a family in Hollywood now?

RIP...Love Story will be one of those films that I always stop what I’m doing if it’s on to catch a few minutes.
