Personal Life
MacGraw acknowledged having had an abortion when she was in her early 20s, and the procedure was illegal.
MacGraw's first marriage was to banker Robin Hoen, from 1961 to 1962. She married her second husband, film producer Robert Evans, in 1969. Their only child, son Josh Evans, was born on January 16, 1971. The couple divorced in 1972, after MacGraw began an affair with actor Steve McQueen while filming The Getaway. She and McQueen were married in 1973. They divorced in 1978.
MacGraw's autobiography, Moving Pictures (which she now describes as "not well written"), revealed her struggles with alcohol and sex addiction. She was treated for the former at the Betty Ford Center.
Since 1994, she has lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, after "fleeing Malibu" when a house she was renting caught fire and burned down.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Love is a scandal of the personal sort.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“What is called eloquence in the forum is commonly found to be rhetoric in the study. The orator yields to the inspiration of a transient occasion, and speaks to the mob before him, to those who can hear him; but the writer, whose more equable life is his occasion, and who would be distracted by the event and the crowd which inspire the orator, speaks to the intellect and heart of mankind, to all in any age who can understand him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
