In 2018, the 79-year-old actress recalled McQueen in an interview with People magazine:

Mark Elliot, Steve’s biographer wrote, “One day, she mentioned to me that she wouldn’t get the money if they broke up, and he reluctantly offered, Well, honey, if you want to marry, that’s tomorrow or never. That’s it.” .

“Over the next three years, McQueen was content mostly with sleeping, eating, riding a bike, and increasingly having sex with girls and taking drugs,” the biographer wrote.

Every time a client called Ali McGraw, her husband would ring the phone. There was no way he would allow his young wife to resume her career, even if she was Hollywood’s hottest star. No one could understand why a sophisticated model and actress at the height of her career decided to marry McQueen, whose attitude towards the female sex was widely known. Even journalists from gossip magazines knew he was cheating on me and renting an apartment in Los Angeles to meet girls, but no one dared write about it in the tabloids,” he described to the Daily Mail in 2011.

In 1977, after the miscarriage of the child, Ali McGraw said that she wanted to accept the offer of the role in the movie “Caravan”.

She declined and was cast as the lead in the hit movie “Convoy”.

I wish we had aged sober. There were wonderful and terrifying days. But I’m by no means a victim, McGraw said in 2018.
