That put him back on stride, and every stage work since?from the musical They 're Playing Our Song (1979) to the trilogy?has clicked. Meanwhile, the new marriage thrived for about eight years, then ended in divorce in 1982. Although Simon wrote five films for her to star in (notably 1977's The Goodbye Girl), part of the problem was career conflict. There were other tensions, about which they are enigmatic.
