“Love Story” star Ryan O’Neal is dead. There are fears of irregularities in thousands of adoptions

American actor Ryan O’Neal, who became world famous with the romantic drama ‘Love Story’, has died. The actor died ‘peacefully’ on Friday at the age of 82, his son Patrick O’Neal said on the online platform Instagram. .

The former amateur boxer made his breakthrough in 1970 with ‘Love Story’ by director Arthur Hiller and was nominated for an Oscar. The film is about the love of a student from a wealthy family and a student from a modest background who dies at the end of the drama.

Two years later, O’Neal appeared alongside Barbra Streisand in the comedy “Is What, Doc?” by director Peter Bogdanovich, and then in 1973 alongside his daughter Tatum O’Neal in Bogdanovich’s hit film “Paper Moon”, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe.

In 1975, the Los Angeles-born actor starred in the historical film ‘Barry Lyndon’ under legendary director Stanley Kubrick. Between 2005 and 2017 he appeared in the series ‘Bones’.

O’Neal has been married twice and divorced twice. In the late 1970s, he began a relationship with fellow actress Fawcett (“Charlie’s Angels”). The partnership ended in 1997 after Fawcett allegedly caught O’Neal red-handed with another actress. The two reunited in 2001 and remained so until Fawcett’s death in 2009. (sda/afp)
