An American leading man of the 1970s New Hollywood era, Oscar-nominated for the tearjerker Love Story and reunited with director Peter Bogdanovich for What's Up, Doc? and Paper Moon, the latter opposite his own daughter Tatum. He also took the title role in Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, a rare instance of a mainstream American star anchoring one of Kubrick's most meticulous films, and later found a new generation of viewers as the gruff father figure on the TV series Bones.
