Love Story by Erich Segal

LONDON — Erich Segal, the Ivy League professor who attained mainstream fame and made millions sob as writer of the novel and movie Love Story, has died of a heart attack, his daughter said Tuesday. He was 72. More . . .

I haven’t thought about Love Story in ages, but I was one of those weepy teens back in the 70’s who came, saw, and cried. I have enjoyed seeing a much older (wiser?) Ryan O’Neal on the TV series Bones.
