You joke but I had to be all of 3 y/o when I saw this movie..the only things that stood out were her and the ending of the movie at that young of an age but for awhile I thought she was a black woman and assumed she was Shari Belafonte...she looked black and beautiful to me !!! LOL

reply

I thought she was Shari Belafonte too! I figured the movie was trying to show inter-racial harmony or something, since there were 2 black truckers in the movie, and you never really think about there being black truckers...

That is the funniest thing I have ever seen posted!

reply

I second that. Truly a spot on observation.

reply

I came to this board to either comment on Ali looking like Shari Belafonte or see if it had already been brought up. She must look like wrinkled shoe leather by now.

reply

I just watched a bit of this crap movie and you are bang-on with your observation! She looks truly bizarre!

reply

Wow I appreciate all the love on this. I still can't get over it. All I have to do is just THINK about Ali McGraw in Convoy and I laugh to myself. To continue with the Soul Man analogy, she probably OD'd on tanning pills given to her by Robert Evans!

reply

She does!!!! It's so true!

reply


i thought she looked like she'd walked of the set of planet of the apes with the makeup still on

Thanks for posting that picture Dirty!

Just watched the movie for the first time and I though she looked great, she also looks a lot like Halle Berry at times... which is not a bad thing at all!

LOL!

She looked great in The Getaway. What the hell happened??

reply

LMAO - dead-on observation! And thanks for reminding me of Soul Man - I don't think I've watched it since the 80s....not that I'm going to anytime soon, though, lol.

Her agent talked her into cutting her hair and getting a poodle perm!

OMG that is too funny and spot on!

I like Ali, but that look did not work.
