RIP Ryan O'Neal

[jdb in AZ]

How many here are old enough to remember the 70's movie "Love Story?" Been there, done that, played the piano solo for my grandparents' anniversary.

One of the oft-quoted cliches from the movie was "Love means never having to say you're sorry." In a later movie (comedy "What's Up Doc") Barbra Streisand says the quote and Ryan retorts, "That's the dumbest thing I ever heard."

How sad. I loved his movies. What's Up Doc is still one of the funniest movies I ever watched.
RIP Mr. O'Neal.

I saw it in the theater when I was in high school, such a sad movie.

RIP....one of my crushes

Love Story and Brian's Song are in a dead heat for saddest Movie of all time.

Watch them back to back and you would need at least a week to recover.

I liked him in Paper Moon with his daughter Tatum.

My parents took me along to see LOVE STORY back in the day. I was in grade school. Other than Bambi, I don't recall ever crying as I was leaving the movie theatre. What the heck were my parents thinking? He was some kind of good looking wasn't he, LOL!

Of course, Jenny(Ali McGraw) came from Knightsville just like me…. Very sad news.

I always liked him. A good looking and talented actor. Sadly, he seemed to have many struggles in his personal life, with addiction, his children, his relationship with Farrah, etc. May he RIP.

Ryan O'Neil, Paul Newman and Robert Redford were my older sister's silver-screen heart-throbs.

Are you all serious? He fed his minor kids drugs. He wasn’t some amazing human being.

I just saw him the other day in “Barry Lyndon” with Marisa Berenson. Great film adaptation of an English author not studied in the states much these days.
His career could have been so much more. RIP.
