>p? CNN —

Oscar-nominated actor Ryan O’Neal, star of several landmark films including “Love Story” and “Paper Moon,” has died, according to his son, Patrick, who posted the news to social media. He was reportedly 82.

“My dad passed away peacefully today, with his loving team by his side supporting him and loving him as he would us,” Patrick O’Neal wrote on Friday.

He added: “My father Ryan O’Neal has always been my hero. I looked up to him and he was always bigger than life.”

Gore said it. There were other models for the characters, but apparently Erich Segal did say that Gore gave him the idea of Oliver as weighed down by parental expectations.

LOL, I got my wife to watch "A Clockwork Orange" with me, and she has never forgiven me.

She said I ruined "Singing in The Rain" for her!

It ruined it for me too, but not a big loss because while I liked it, it was never a "go-to" movie.

Like me, every time she hears "Singing in The Rain" she pictures this:

We are still married...:)

He was a heartthrob in his day.

In 1971, on a flight from Tampa to Buffalo, a teen girl came up to me and asked for my autograph. She was sure I was Ryan. True story. Not a joke.

My wife of two years said a few moments later: "Nah; I'm not seeing it."

A great movie I will never forget was the hilarious movie, SO FINE.

In the movie, Ryan O’Neal’s character created pants with deliberate holes in the rear end. In the movie, the pants became a smash hit with the public.

Actor Jack Warden was in the movie. He was riding in a Gondola boat on a Venice, Italy canal. He looked disgusted and said, “How long have the streets here been f**ked up like this?”

I still laugh about that line.

“Love means having to say you’re sorry even when you’re not.”

I think that was in the National Lampoon, but I could be wrong.

Ok now you need to post a pic of yourself circa 1971.

Too many people want to review this and see if the girl was high on something, given 1971....

You see, sentence structure exists for a reason. You call me a pinhead for making an issue of it.

Suppose you said, “I liked Boris Karloff as a mummy.” According to your application of grammar, you are saying that you — as a mummy — liked Boris Karloff.
