Jimmy DakinGUEST
And I'm thinking, okay.
Jimmy DakinGUEST
Either I ram this roadblock, go through it like, you know, the movie Convoy or something.
Jimmy DakinGUEST
Right.
Jimmy DakinGUEST
Or I Thelma and Louise it and just dive off the Grand Canyon.

TamikaHOST
She received a Golden Globe Award and Oscar nomination for her performance in Love Story with Ryan O'Neal.
TamikaHOST
Her popularity was solid enough to withstand a five-year hiatus when she returned to the big screen in 1978 with Convoy, starring Kris Kristofferson.
TamikaHOST
Now, I must confess that I originally thought Steve McQueen took or, I'll say, made advances on Ali MacGraw to upset or [chuckles] flex his muscles at producer Robert Evans.

Rob MillerGUEST
And for 11-year-old boys, this was the greatest thing we had ever seen in our lives.
