Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal are returning to Harvard University more than 45 years after the release of their 1970 film Love Story.

The duo, now in their 70s, will be reflecting on their careers on Monday in a conversation moderated by arts journalist Alicia Anstead.

Ali and Ryan are currently co-starring in a national tour of Love Letters, which is about a man and a woman who maintain contact over 50 years through notes, cards and letters.

 

The play begins a one-week run at Boston’s Citi Shubert Theatre on Tuesday.

The actors are expected to drive to nearby Harvard in an antique MG convertible similar to the one featured in Love Story, about a wealthy Harvard student who marries a less wealthy classmate despite his parents’ objections.
