The Reamer Campus Center was extensively remodeled in 1995, but this is the approximate location for the shot. This scene continues in Part 13.

As you can see, the old running track is no longer there. A new modern stadium is located behind me in this shot.

I had to move over to the left in order to get this shot. The tree blocks your view of the background building.

A couple of trees are missing. The Nott memorial building has been "de-vined".

The Way We Were filming locations Part 8

Bit of trivia for you- the traditional building behind Barbra is the Schaffer library and it was built in 1960. So it would not have existed during the time the story takes place. Incidentally, it is not the location of the "library scene" from the movie that takes place later.

The Way We Were filming locations Part 7

Got a Robert Redford story for you. Ready? I auditioned for a Robert Redford movie! Seriously!

It was The Great Waldo Pepper, after The Way We Were came out. They were filming in different small towns in Texas and somehow my mom knew they were looking for young boys between a certain age (don't remember the exact ages). Ended up reading a scene and did terrible! I had never read a script before. Who knew that you weren't suppose to read what is in the parentheses? I was reading it like I was just reciting it normally.

On top of that, they ended up going with someone younger! Hollywood discriminates at all ages it seems.

It's time to go back to college and reminsence about The Way We Were. October and November are going to be dedicated to this film and the filming locations.

Union College in Schnectady, New York doubled for the college campus flashback scenes. Jackson's Garden is where Robert Redford jogged during the opening credits.
