My Take
Ryan O'Neal fascinates me as a study in the cost of early beauty. He came up as an amateur boxer before Peyton Place made him a household name, and I think that pugilist's wariness never left his eyes; it kept his golden-boy roles from turning saccharine. Critics loved to underestimate him, yet the David di Donatello award in 1971 and a star on the Walk of Fame argue otherwise. For me, he embodies the bittersweet arc of 1970s stardom, dazzling ascent followed by complicated later years, and I find his best screen work quietly devastating in hindsight.
