Her acting career began in her early thirties, which was considered a late start for Hollywood. She quickly made an impact with her breakout role in Goodbye, Columbus (1969), which earned her a Golden Globe Award. Just a year later, she starred as Jenny Cavilleri in Love Story alongside Ryan O’Neal. The film became a worldwide success, earning her another Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. The movie’s iconic line, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry,” has remained tied to her legacy for decades.
