She took a married man away from his wife. Not a very nice thing to do .

maybe she saw him for what he really was... and not the icon that everyone put on a pedestal. Maybe he loved her because she treated him like a person and not a reputation. She doesn't seem bitchy at all, just very down-to-earth and genuine. Maybe these friends were just jealous.

@coolmamac As did the wife she took him away from

Barbara Minty is about my most favorite supermodel. She made Cindy Crawford look ugly.

And i am very surprised and pleased to see her so non-chalant and not full of herself.

I love her deeper voice too, she doesn't act like a baby!

Go Barbara!!!

Wow, all of these nasty, schoolyard comments! I like all of Steve's wives. Each was a stunning, dark-haired beauty, and he shared a unique bond with them when they were together. So she makes a few quirky comments about Steve. She does it with love, and she did know him better than we do, so who are we to criticize? It's obvious she loved him, and continues to miss him.

@foxyroxy2005 In what way? Ali was mistreated, then made a fool of. She never remarried, probably hurt deeply by Steve.

Ali MacGraw is a cold piece of stone! She is also a money chaser.

Part Five:

It's very clear to me why she captured the heart of the 'king of cool' -- she represented a low-key private life that he had never been allowed to experience before. It's so disheartening to read all these cruel words from complete strangers who don't know the Barbie I grew up with. As far as the comments about her appearance -- in this world of youth-fighting treatments and surgeries so many women undergo we should commend her for opting to age naturally!

Part Four:

When she met Steve McQueen he was not the mega star 'hottie' we all used to know -- she fell in love with the man -- not the star. If you look at the way they lived their life it's obvious she was not with him for the publicity, hype, or glamour. After his death she lived a quiet life in the mountains and never talked about the years she spent with McQueen. Proceeds from her book are going to cancer research to fight the cancer that took his life -- Mesothelioma.

Part Three:

I remember seeing her after she started her modeling career and she said she didn't really like it because people treat you like you are stupid and talk about you as if you are not even in the room before and during photo shoots. She said she was going to do it for awhile to make enough money to buy a place in the country and get out of the limelight.

Part Two:

She grew up on a farm and her mom and my mom were very close for years. My mother was always getting her to model for local fashion shows and she reluctantly did. Everyone always told her she should be a model so after graduating high school she took off to New York and it wasn’t long after that when she appeared on the cover of Cosmopolitan.
