We remember Eric Segal who was born on this day in 1937.
He died in January 2010 at age 72.
Who remembers "Love Story" or the book that became a hugely popular movie? It was the love story of Oliver Barrett IV, a rich kid at Harvard law school and Jenny Cavilleri, a pretty working class girl studying music at Radcliffe.
Segal also wrote the screen play for The Beatles' movie "Yellow Submarine". Wonder how many people know that?
"Love Story" also made huge stars of Ryan O'Neal and Ali McGraw. It was probably the biggest "date movie" of 1971.
