Let’s face it—age is just a number, and Ali MacGraw is living proof of that. The legendary Love Story star, who’s about to hit the big 8-0 on April 1, was recently spotted in her beloved Tesuque, New Mexico. And guess what? She’s looking as fabulous and fit as ever. Talk about aging gracefully!
Ali was out and about earlier this week, visiting a local market and then treating herself to some much-deserved pampering at a nail salon in nearby Santa Fe. Her style? Effortlessly chic and casual, with a hint of boho flair. She paired a pair of jeans with a sweater over a classic black turtleneck, topped off with a cozy matching knit scarf. Her accessories included a pair of stylish black boots, a bohemian shoulder bag, statement earrings, and a black scrunchie that kept her stunning silver hair neatly in place. It’s clear this Hollywood icon knows how to make a statement without trying too hard.
From Hollywood Glamour to Quiet New Mexico Living
Ali’s journey from Hollywood’s brightest star to a peaceful life in the desert is nothing short of inspiring. Back in 1970, she took the world by storm with Love Story, opposite Ryan O’Neal, and went on to star in other iconic films like The Getaway, Convoy, Players, and Just Tell Me What You Want. But in the mid-1990s, she decided to step away from the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown for a quieter, more meaningful life in New Mexico.

Why New Mexico Won Her Heart
It all started when a friend invited her to help decorate a house in Santa Fe. Ali fell head-over-heels for the area’s unique charm, its vibrant community, and the stunning landscapes. She once said, “I created a life for myself with those kind of people and community service and animals, and it’s been wonderful.” She especially loves the serene beauty of New Mexico’s wide-open spaces and breathtaking skies. “As you go further up in New Mexico, where there’s no one, the landscape is completely jaw-dropping—the sky, the clean air, endless miles of vista,” she shared.
Still Open to Creativity and New Adventures
Today, Ali enjoys a life away from the spotlight, focusing on her passions like yoga, meditation, and giving back to her community. But don’t count her out of the acting world just yet. Despite her retirement, she’s admitted that she hasn’t completely ruled out a return to the screen. “One of the lucky things for someone my age is that I’m open and curious. There’s not just one thing I love to do and feel bereft if I can’t. But I know that I’m not happy when I’m not doing something creative,” she revealed. Clearly, this Hollywood legend still has plenty of stories to tell.
