DL fave Shirley MacLaine enjoys lunch al fresco in Malibu

Quite big tits.

This makes me like the bitch, I have to say.

[quote] DL fave

Not my fave.

Shrill voiced; hung around with gangsters such as Sinatra. I resented that she and Lemmon brought Billy Wilder down from High-Art films down to American schlub films.

Obviously close to death (judging by that Downton appearance).

Ridiculous egomaniac.

The Daily Mail. Such a world-class publication! They've won, what 30, 40 Pulitzers? I ALWAYS wrap the used litter from the cat box in The Daily Mail! Makes their shit so much classier!

So you get the Daily Mail, R5?

I’ve never like her. She looks like hell. Her tits are nearly hanging down to her waist!

Whenever I click on a Daily Mail page, I then go do something for half-an-hour and sometimes, when I come back, it's finished loading.

She has one foot in the grave and the other one on a banana peel. Time to jump into your next life, Shirl.

Looks like she is still enjoying life. 86 years old, still has money enough to live in Malibu. Still healthy enough to drive (car keys in hand), stop for a nice drink and sit in the sunshine.

Brother Warren's not looking so bad for 83!

I thought it was pathetic when she was hired in that film intended for Monroe. Her male co-stars were much more interesting than her.

R10 I guess she's till mobile whereas Glynis Johns is well and truly locked up.

Looks like Warren has injections in his bottom lip.

Where's her crème brûlée?

[quote]MacLaine was known as the only female Rat Packer, calling Dean Martin 'spontaneously funny' and Frank Sinatra 'talented.'

Um, no.

where's my fucking creme brulee?

GIVE ME MY FUCKING CREME BRULEE!!!!!!!!

R13 I think Warren has always had that protruding lower lip.

(I have been scrutinising him recently to compare it with Jake angeli)

I used to be a non-staff reader for the talent agency that repped her, meaning I would drop by the office every week or so to discuss material I’d done reports on at home. After 9/11 you had to wait in the upper lobby with the receptionist until an assistant came to personally usher you in, which usually happened fairly quickly. Before that you could walk straight through, though the receptionist would stop you if you were unfamiliar.

One day MacClaine was there, looking VERY stern and firecracker-y in a red suit, leaning on the receptionist’s counter and GLARING at the inner glass doors waiting for admission. No couch for her. She was having [italic]none of it.[/italic]

I felt a little scared as I was buzzed in, and she was kept cooling her heels.

Her look was “steamed livid.”

You never see her without that "ShirleyWig".

She is old as SIN.

And her legendary coldness oozes off of her.

But fuck it, she is rich, can drive, live in Malibu, and have a drink under the sun! Namaste!

I'm honestly surprised she hasn't found another solar system she likes after so many years.

[quote] One day MacClaine was there, looking VERY stern and firecracker-y in a red suit, leaning on the receptionist’s counter and GLARING at the inner glass doors waiting for admission. No couch for her. She was having none of it.

Sounds like the hospital / medication scene in Terms of Endearment.

Wow, R18, I wonder what she was doing at that time?

She has excellent taste in martinis.

I've spoken to senior citizens and they tell me it's OK for them to drink alcohol at ANY time of the day or night. because they don't have to answer to anyone.

She has always had all the talent and charm of a colostomy bag.

She does NOT have the look of someone who's reached a level of nirvana about their existence on this mortal plane.

She looks like an old cuntzilla.

MacLaine played prostitutes in Irma La Douce and Sweet Charity (and, I think, in The Apartment).

I wonder if she'd take slutty nude roles now if she was 60 years younger?

Years ago, I heard a young actress say on a talk show that MacLaine was unpleasant to her during filming.

I wonder where she gets her joints and edibles delivered from?

I like Shirley. Fuck you all.

R28 Was that the obnoxious Deborah Whinger?

She's looks terrible!

Bitch she going on 90. How is she supposed to look?

[quote] The 86-year-old Hollywood legend oozes glamour

You have missed a few appointment at the optometrist haven't you?

R30 Did you like Shirley when she was 'gamine' or in her mature roles?

Love her! Bottoms up, Shirl!

R35 all of it. She's a great entertainer.

Werk, Shitley!

[quote]The 86-year-old Hollywood legend oozes

It seems she's been estranged from her daughter, Sachi — who wrote a nasty memoir.

I wish Shirley would write a proper memoir— telling about Billy Wilder's modus operandi, Frank Sinatra's fake buttocks, Vincente Minelli's pervy behavior, Issur Danielovitch's physical abuse.

I laughed right out loud when the Mail said Shirley "oozes Old World glamour."

Well, she's 86 so I'm not shocked by her appearance. I am surprised she's no longer dyeing her hair.

But she needs a better support structure for those udders. She's got a serious case of Cooper's Droop.

Where’s the old cunt’s mask?

Wait, is she in her house slippers?

R42- She has been wearing wigs for 20-30 years.

Her head looks like a balding 80 year old mans.

I don't think she has colored her hair since 1985. Shit.

A mess. Those clothes should have gone to Goodwill two years ago.

tbh she kinda looks like maybe she's losing it a little

I say it with love

I want to trademark the term "Cooper's Droop".

It's brilliant.

Her dirty pillows are MASSIVE and SAGGY!

I gotta give the bitch this- I don't think she has had a lick of surgery.

Possibly before Terms of Endearment? But I am thinking nearly never.

It's me!

I am telling you- Looking back, I don't think this bitch even had lasers.

She is au naturel.

And the rumor in my family is that my Auntie was in a sex sandwich with Shirl and Fyfush Finkel.

Auntie was in the middle.

I never thought Shirley would balloon up this way. She stayed slim and trim into her fifties. Usually that's the toughest time for women to keep weight off, and in their eighties it's actually a battle to keep weight on. They lose their sense of taste and smell and subsequently their appetites.

Well, Shirley's always been a rebel.

Shirl's passions are

Mallowmars

Chocolate Cakes (Entire Cakes)

Malibu "Bu" Brownies (Brownies with Coconut)

She also likes eating her past lives.

52 replies and no one is going to call out OP's "Oozes glamour" sub-headline? In sweatpants and slippers? I guess that is pandemic glam, but it aint oozing.

I guess I’m in the small minority. I think she’s talented, smart and FABULOUS!

It's what the Daily Mail wrote about her, in their patented sarcastic style, R53.

She looks wonderful I think - natural and comfortable.

These photos make me like her a little, although I do think she’s a world-class cunt.

When did she get those big tetas?!

Her K Mart sweatpants have HOLES in them!!!

This is Malibu! Not Seal Beach, BITCH!

Yeah, I don't get how a woman who was essentially small-chested all of her life suddenly gets those big pillowy bosoms in her 80s. I thought at that age it was more likely for most people to shrink and wither.

Tetas! Pronounced Tay-et-as.

My second favorite word of the evening!

My other is COOPERS DROOP! (Two words)

All her vintage co-stars are dead.

She is probably very tiny now, and her titties didn't shrink, just drooped.

If her koo-lats TWIRL UP in the sea wind, we are going to have some traumatized young men.

Her fish flaps must look like rotten meat!

Love ya, Shirl!

Do you all think she knew she was being photographed? I'm not sure I'd ever have recognized her.

The woman is a rock, like Gibraltar. Steady, sturdy, and magnificent. She doesn’t fail.

R65. Eat shit.

R65 = Debra W.

You literally can see magpies snacking on her rotting flesh.

She truly does seem mean.

I STAND WITH SNATCHI!

She had/has a terrier named Terry. I saw them golf carting around her property in the desert.

Those sagging fun bags are oozing something...

but it ain't glamour

[quote] Do you all think she knew she was being photographed?

I'm sure the paparazzi took almost identical pictures six months ago.

And I'm sure the Datalounging vultures made a similar thread six months ago.

Does Shirl have the face she deserves? Honor Blackman looked pretty damn good at 86. She never put on weight, which helps.

Just living her best life.

R72- She had surgery.

Shirley hasn't, I believe.

[Quote] She had surgery

Source?

If I could die and come back as Shirley MacLaine I would, in a heartbeat.

She's a mess even for 86. Maybe it's a Calif vs New York thing, but I've seen a dozen 80+ year olds this weekend who look better than ol Shirl. Much better.

Best quote from OP's link, assuming it contains real quotes:

"And I would think it was funny, and (Hitchcock) would be glad that I got it...I was only 18."

The Trouble with Harry was filmed in 1955, late1954 at the earliest. Shirley was 21 or 22 YEARS OLD. Nothing like youthening yourself when in advanced age. Streisand does the same thing, she's forever 21.

Shirley had "psychic cosmetic surgery"

it's even better than that other "real cosmetic surgery"

I have never believed anyone more than I believe Scotchmallow-Foster Maclaine. Or whatever Shirl's lookalike daughter's name is.

Shirley looks STANK A DANK-DANK!

Miserly and MEAN.

She was not a prostitute in The Apartment. Just a cheap ole side piece.

[quote] I never thought Shirley would balloon up this way.

Come on, she’s a million year old.

Even Shelley Duvall is fat now as an old hag. She was literally a piece of string with a head.

Was she having an Indiana dinner?

This is a nice, flattering wig. I don't know why she's embraced shiny wigs in recent years.

R74 are you serious? ALL of them, including Honor Blackman, have had plastic surgery.

Shirley MacLaine had it before appearing in Terms of Endearment, and it was NOT good surgery. Her ears are sewed on low crooked and partially on her face. Check out location of earlobe:

Shirley looks like a sun worshipper. She should wear a turban, like she did in Postcards. She should also wear a caftan. Turban and caftan are just as easy as what she’s wearing in the DM photos.

R84- Funny, that is the only film of hers where you think. hmm... she may have had a good facelift. If she did, I think she looks great. The blonde hair suited her.

Other than that, she seems like a nasty ogre.

It was a Crème Brûlée Martini.

When did she last speak with daughter Sachi?

Right before the book came out, brain surgeon R88!

If Blackman had surgery, it was excellent. She never got Kate Jackson eyes.

Definitely not, R31.

I STAND with SNATCHI!

She was an elevator operator dating the married executive in "The Apartment", not a prostitution whore.

[quote] I laughed right out loud when the Mail said Shirley "oozes Old World glamour."

They didn't write that. They wrote "oozes old Hollywood glamour."

[quote] Shirley looks like a sun worshipper.

Cedric Hardwicke said Los Angeles is a ‘Lotus Land providing well-paid idleness and endless sunshine’ producing ‘an indolent euphoria’.

And he noted that Gladys Cooper succumbed to that ‘an indolent euphoria’. He said the Los Angeles sun ruined her face. She looked MUCH older than her years.

Warner Brothers offered a seven year contract to Flora Robson but she refused the 'euphoria’.

[quote] She was [bold]literally[/bold] a piece of string with a head.

Oh, [italic]DEAR.[/italic]

I heard when she attended the funeral of a celebrity some time ago she drove to the cemetery in an old station wagon with beanie babies on the dashboard.

It's a gibson, not martini. Those are cocktail onions, not olives

[quote]MacLaine played prostitutes in Irma La Douce and Sweet Charity (and, I think, in The Apartment).

You think wrong. She played an elevator operator who was having an affair with a married executive (Fred MacMurray) and who is recued from killing herself by another worker in the office (Jack Lemmon) who was lending out his apartment for assignations.

She played pixies and wacky kooks when she was young and brittle versions of the wacky kooks when she was older. She had the occasional "mature" role where she usually was outclassed or at least outacted by someone else (I'm thinking Bancroft in the annoying "The Turning Point" and A Hepburn in "The Chidren's Hour". She was never a great actress and often not a very good one. A horrible mother. And a self-involved nutjob. By "Downton", she'd have all emotion removed from her face. She would have looked better if she'd gotten the kind of bad plastic surgery that leaves you looking surprised.

Those white orbs look like lychees to me, not onions.

[quote]She had the occasional "mature" role where she usually was outclassed or at least outacted by someone else (I'm thinking Bancroft in the annoying "The Turning Point" and A Hepburn in "The Chidren's Hour"

Are you kidding? She was at least as good as Bancroft in The Turning Point, and was way better then Hepburn in The Children's Hour.

[quote]Those white orbs look like lychees to me, not onions.

Oh shut up. They're actually her eyeballs, they fell out into the glass.

I did like her in The Children's Hour. That is a great film.

R99, Shirley MacLaine would have done much better had she died in 1968.

"she may have had a good facelift..."

R86, you must be blind or under 30.

R 104. I am 43. lol

And if she did- she looks GOOD. Nothing like the freaks of today.

[quote]Shirley MacLaine would have done much better had she died in 1968.

And yet she won an Oscar in 1984...

I deserve this!

Shirl, Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot and Kim Novak must be the only BIG female stars left from the 1950s.

Go ahead, I must be forgetting someone. Joanne Woodward, maybe?

She was unwatchable in "Terms". I hope Winger made her life a living hell.

Bancroft had the better role in "The Turning Point" and even when she was merely chewing scenery, she was a better actress than Maclaine. Hepburn could underplay, something that Maclaine was unable to do.

Outclassed by Audrey Hepburn?! Gimme a break.

[quote] in the annoying "The Turning Point" and A Hepburn in "The Chidren's Hour

I couldn't believe that Hepburn wanted to munch that woman with the unattractive wailing voice.

And I know that Wyler was an obsessive man but I couldn't see why he was wasting his talent by remaking his earlier version of this very small story.

It's not as if the bullying and tattle-tale in the school was an allegory for the puerile behaviour in current American society, was it?

[Quote] I couldn't believe that Hepburn wanted to munch that woman with the unattractive wailing voice.

You must have been driven to distraction by Sister George...

[quote] tbh she kinda looks like maybe she's losing it a little

She’s been riding the mothership for 40 years, babe.

[quote] not a prostitution whore.

Um.

[quote] been driven to distraction by Sister George...

Coral Browne had some dignity but the other women in that cheap little movie were so unattractive!

I know someone important (whose name I've temporarily forgotten) refused to appear in it.

[Quote] I know someone important (whose name I've temporarily forgotten) refused to appear in it.

Angie Lansbury?

In one of those Daily Mail photos she looks like an old FUCKIN MONKEY.

Yes, R106. And has been Shirley went yelling and prancing around yammering about it. It was embarrassing, and her bad1980 facelift was displayed ad nauseum. I remember some asking what was wrong with her face.

I like her, but she does look like a bag lady there.

R10 I’m with you. She looks like hell but at that age you don’t care - you’re just glad to be alive!

Is that pic of Warren B recent r12?

She's a legend who's given some iconic performances. And was a pioneer in brining metaphysical thinking into US culture.

Debra Winger's a nutjob. Mean as fuck and rumored to be a bad drunk and raging cokehead back in the day. Shirley just wanted to make the movie and be done with it. Debra treated the set like an in patient ward at a mental hospital. Maclaine earned that oscar.

Her peers speak very highly of her.

She *is* a Legend...officially.

FF for R121!

FUCK YOU, BITCH!

r108 Gina Lollobrigida

Eva Marie Saint

Carroll Baker

Just keep moving.

I can't believe that she's driving on Hwy 1 in Malibu at the age of 86. Yikes! The car keys are in her hand so she must be the one driving.

At 86 she shouldn't be eating out in public places, even outdoors because she has to be without a mask. I can't believe that she has no health issues at 86 which makes it more dangerous.

R127, I would assume that she's had at least one dose of the vaccine. Bette Midler tweeted the other day that she had just received her second dose and was happy to be protected and she's the same age as Shirley.

^^ Bette Midler is 75

In spite of the horrible death toll COVID has had among the elderly, many without serious underlying conditions survive. The second-oldest person alive, a French nun, just recovered from COVID and celebrated her 117th birthday. Maybe Shirley can play Sister Andre in the Lifetime movie...

Wow, 117! Someone is watching over that woman. My best to her.

Her tits have twirled down.

[quote]Those clothes should have gone to Goodwill two years ago.

Gurl you mean garbage. Not even the Goodwill wants those rags!

She's about to start shooting a film with Peter Dinklage on Vancouver Island.

[quote]She's about to start shooting a film with Peter Dinklage on Vancouver Island.

They'll have to wait until she gets her tits lifted...

There aren't enough gays nor enough hydraulic lifts in all of Vancouver to raise those fun bags back up to a respectable place on her bitter old frame....

Based on that 2019 photo...

I think she using the Lucille Ball method of pulling all the loose skin back and clamping it under a red wig for special appearances...

Then she tosses back a couple of martinis to deal with the discomfort

Those sweat pants are nasty...how 'bout you air that dirty old coooter out, Shirl?

She has three films in development... or did. I'm thinking they were all delayed 'cause of COVID and she's done caring.

Christ you queens never give up. The woman is 86 and has no fucks left to give. Who cares if her tits are down to the pavement?! She’s been active in the entertainment industry for over 65 years and given us many memorable moments. Live and let live I say and thanks Shirl.

I never liked this bitch. So full of herself.

Looks like somebody got their vaccine.

It's clear from the photos where she's made up -- she pulls acres of skin back and tapes it under one of her cliche'd wigs. Even with that, she's still FULL of lines, wrinkles -- not because she's 86 -- but because she's smoked for probably 70 or those 86 years.

The booze doesn't help either.

For what it's worth, I'm jealous of her, sitting out in the sun in Malibu, slinging back a big ole martini like that.

I am so delighted that she is enjoying herself!

YOU GO GIRL!!

R142 she also has alabaster white skin with freckles. That never helps, either.

I am impressed she still drives (assuming she doesn’t kill anyone along the way).

Probably not long before Shirley moves on to her next life.

I always wished she had been my mother.

Whoops, wrong Shirley thread.

R134, He'll be eye level with her tits.

How did the photographer even recognize her?

She got to fuck Robert Mitchum in his prime.

Lucky bitch.

Is that the same outdoor eatery where the paps found Angela Lansbury a couple of months ago?

Sad that even cute bellydancers get old

I guess good for her that she just doesn’t give a shit anymore and can go out in public like that.

Contrast with my mother in law, who is 84 and always looks fantastic. She’s never had plastic surgery, but looks nowhere near her age. She’s still trim, dresses stylishly, keeps her blond football helmet hair on point, and is just an all around lovely person. We have gotten her to agree to stop driving as much as she used to, due to some vision issues.

I think if/when I make it to my eighties I’ll be in the “don’t give a fuck” camp like ol’ Shirl.

I'm guessing she's probably already had both her COVID vaccinations and that's why she's maskless, which may be wrong, but it's her life.

I don't mean to state the obvious or anything here but that doesn't look like her. The nose is all wrong and she's missing the trademark cheekbones, which I know are implants these days, but still.

I love the old stoop whore

I love her as well. (She carried my three favorite movies: Terms of Endearment, Postcards and Steel Magnolias) I did some research on the daughter who cashed in by writing a tell-all book. The daughter is still bitter Shirley didn’t pay for her college. I love that! Maybe Shirley really was a psychic who could foresee what a cunt her daughter would become.

Anthony Hopkins called her the worst person he's ever met (paraphrasing). Always wanted to know specifics of what transpired during the making of A Change of Seasons.

She was the best thing in Postcards but was snubbed and Miscast Meryl got the nom. Shirl was also snubbed for Magnolias and that Madame S. movie. Must not be well liked within the biz.

She looks like a hooker.

Bitch needs to get herself a properly functioning bra.

R120 - yes, the pic of Warren is from 2020.

"Anthony Hopkins called her the worst person he's ever met (paraphrasing). Always wanted to know specifics of what transpired during the making of A Change of Seasons."

I'm sure having Bo Derek as one of her co-stars did not please Shirl.

Just REINCARNATE already!

Christ she looks hideous, like a Dead Beast.

What went on in the Beaty family that it produced two extreme narcissists?

Hopkins is Team Debra: they became good friends while making "Shadowlands".

She COOZES glamour!!!

Patricia Routledge claims Shirl had all her funny lines cut from "The Bliss Of Mrs Blossom".

No mask?

One hundred and sixty nine responses and no one has called her( so I will do it) SHITLEY MacLaine.

[quote]It's clear from the photos where she's made up -- she pulls acres of skin back and tapes it under one of her cliche'd wigs.

Just like Lucy - she must look like she has an attached conjoined fetus on the back of her head when they're done pulling back all that lose skin...

[quote]Is that the same outdoor eatery where the paps found Angela Lansbury a couple of months ago?

I'm not a violent person but for some reason, I'd like to Angela and Shirl in a cage match

Dame Angela is more talented than Shirl

[quote]R147 I always wished she had been my mother.

Oh Jesus.

TAKE her! [italic]Please!

I have a friend whose mother was her maid for decades and decades. He and his siblings were put in foster care, lived with extended relatives, were shoved in boarding schools, etc. because Shirley wouldn't allow his mother to spend any time with them and his mother agreed to prioritize the job. When they did see their mother, they had to regard Shirley as a kind of holy vessel and, later in her life, the mother's home had all these pictures of Shirley on the walls and like none with her kids because she was never around to take pictures with them. They're Belizean.

More of the obvious: 86 year old Shirley MacLaine dressed in Walmart attire, 86 year old Shirley MacLaine drinking alone in public. Does she have any friends? Warren has always kept his distance, her daughter hates her...

[quote] Is that the same outdoor eatery where the paps found Angela Lansbury a couple of months ago?

I don't think so. The eatery where Angela was looked way more casual.

I can’t stand that old bag.

She should have called Angie.

R180, Shirley's braless in that pic, thank you.

[quote]I couldn't believe that Hepburn wanted to munch that woman with the unattractive wailing voice.

I would be good if some of you critics saw the movies you're talking about. Hepburn was the straight one, Shirley played the lesbian.

Anthony Hopkins may be the only actor to ever come out the other end of an experience with Debra Winger that resulted in a friendship.

A few years ago she said to Larry King most of her friends were dead and she no longer looked in the mirror.

She clearly was the mother from hell. She got rid of her daughter at a very young age and never gave a shit about her.

Atta girl!

Was it Robert Mitchum or Dean Martin she had the long off-and-on affair with? Or both of them?

Dean Martin - NOOOOOO

Respect to Joan Collins for being Shirley’s age and still making an effort. Mind you, she has a man to wake up to, which is another achievement.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

She looks like she missed a few formaldehyde transfusion appointments with the mortician.

R188, I don't think Joan is "waking up to" her gay husband much.

She was a lousy mother, but a great actress. It's hard to imagine the same woman played both Charity Hope Valentine and Ouiser. I always had a feeling she was more like Ouiser in real life.

FFS pull yourself together Shirls, I'm older than you and haven't got your money

Joan really must have exceptional health. You have to give it to her for always putting in the effort

r191 of course she knows he's gay, but she needs someone to look after her and worship her, smart woman

both Shirley and Joan are reported to have a net worth of 50 million

DAMN!

I'll be Joan's gay husband for that!

Dame Joan: Queen of Glamour

Kooky Shirley: Hag of saggy tits

She's quite fond of that shaggy wig she's been wearing and throwing into her washing machine on "delicate" cycle for some 5 decades or so now, it seems.

R198 who knows why - she actually WAS pretty but she’s been wearing that hideous wig since she was 40. And that garish red color (I know she has “red head coloring,” but she could have gone for a more subtle shade than that). Has she really been bald a la Postcards for that long?

R185 if you want animated gifs to display here you'll have to host them at Imgur.

Shirley could also take a few notes from Jane Fonda who is 83

Jane and Joan both look good (for their ages) on camera and from afar to the naked eye. But, I have it on good authority from someone who was in the presence of Jane many times during her many years living in Atlanta that close up she's rather frightening looking. The exact words were "she looks as if her face may crack and fall off at any moment". I have little doubt Joan's situation is quite similar.

Joan without her glamour wigs and the theatrical makeup is just another wrinkled old woman.

Jane without heavy intervention is unrecognizable. Just another saggy wrinkled old woman.

[quote]I have a friend whose mother was her maid for decades and decades. He and his siblings were put in foster care, lived with extended relatives, were shoved in boarding schools, etc. because Shirley wouldn't allow his mother to spend any time with them and his mother agreed to prioritize the job.

After reading Sachi's book this sounds about right. Shirl was sending $60K a month to her husband who, according to MacLaine, was living in the Pleiades Constellation doing secret government work but was actually in Honolulu having gay orgies. Sachi, trying to escape an abusive boyfriend, asked Shirl for $800 to buy an used "escape vehicle" and "mom" finally agreed after working out interest on the loan. I liked MacLaine until I read that book. Bitch mother.

She seems eccentric. What a surprise.

Don't automatically believe everything you read in a tell-all book written by a disgruntled child of a celebrity. Those books are most always beefed up by the editors, otherwise no one would want to read them.

Sachi's book seemed pretty much on the level to me. Disgruntled, sure. But not without cause.

my grand looked younger than her at 90, how does the ol girl look past 100?

R186, Shirley wrote of affairs with both, but the affair with Mitchum was longer and more intense.

Shirley MacLaine is not worth 50 million by any stretch of the imagination, R196. If she's living off the income from 6 million, in her mortgage free house, I'd call that realistic.

"She was a lousy mother, but a great actress"

She was a lousy mother, but a good screen actress in the right roles.

R209, Shirley wrote that she had a massive crush on Dean Martin and he rejected her. The affair with Mitchum was one of those short co-stars affairs. I don't know what book you read.

her brother the one who slept with yul brynner and peter sellers?

R57 she got fat, thats why, and tits got saggy thats why they seem bigger, jesus christ, grow up

[quote] Shirley MacLaine is not worth 50 million by any stretch of the imagination

And you now this how? Exactly, you don't. $50 million certainly does not sound like an out of the ordinary amount for a star of her longevity and magnitude.

Good for her.

She was pissed when Pete Hamill dumped her for Jackie O.

R211, The affair with Mitchum had stops and starts, much like Gable and Crawford, Shelley Winters and William Holden, Sinatra and Angie Dickinson, etc.

R214, Shirley MacLaine worked a career since the 1950s, but she was never one who made multimillions for films. Her biggest payday would have been TV specials and performing in Las Vegas and that was decades ago. In neither of those was she Dolly Parton or Cher as far as earning ability, even for a moment in time. I suspect MacLaine's net worth to be about $10 million if she's lucky. Your post reveals that you buy the Google search who is so-in-so's net worth. Ha ha ha.

[quote] Your post reveals that you buy the Google search who is so-in-so's net worth. Ha ha ha.

And your post reveals that you think you about things you clearly have ABSOLUTELY NO KNOWLEDGE about. You don't know a damn thing about her finances and you make yourself look a damn fool for pretending that you do. I'm embarrassed for you.

R216: I'm sure that even Jackie O was lower maintenance than Shirl.

[quote]While oozing Old Hollywood glamour with her drink of choice, the actress took her time sipping her cocktail as she spoke with her assistant

Who the hell writes the captions at that ridiculous rag? "Hollywood glamour"?! Shirley looks like some old drunk who hangs everyday at a neighborhood bar.

Al Fresco in Malibu sounds so glamorous - then you see the photographs.

At least Shirley secured a table not located right next to the trash bin, like Angela Lansbury.

In the 2017 photos included in the article, she didn't look too bad.

She's aged that much since 2017..?!! It's obvious whatever upkeep she was doing fell by the wayside.

All it would take would be a visit to the studio makeup & hair people and they'd turn her right back into the Shirley MacLaine everyone remembers. It's amazing the miracles those people can do.

She does seem like she would be a miserable person to have to deal with. You do have to hand it to her that she has been through many decades of film making and experienced Hollywood in many different eras and pretty much remained A list.

She has also done some very good movies and turned in some good performances. Unfortunately, for me - the nastiness outweighs the good parts.

R219, Shirley, we've had enough.

R218/r219 $10 mil (plus her real estate, which is probably considerable) sounds more in the right ballpark.

I'd say A minus maybe, for short periods of time, but not truly A-list. She usually was a supporting actress in her best films and rarely the best thing in them. She's had duration, but not greatness as an actress. Beatty was an A-lister for awhile and someone who had actual clout in Hollywood. She may have wound up doing tv with Maggie Smith, but she's no Maggie Smith who was much more versatile as an actress.

She didn't play a hooker in "The Apartment." She played a dumb elevator operator who was having an affair with one of the married men who worked in the building. The movie was about married business men who borrowed Jack Lemmon's (he was a poor schnook who worked for the company) apartment for their sex trysts. It was considered quite sleazy subject matter for those days.

MacLaine and her her brother Warren Beatty have both always seemed to me to be very strange, emotionally closed off people. They both seem to lack a sense of humor entirely.

I read some of Sachi Parker's memoir. The poor girl; her father was a pervy con artist and her mother was never, repeat, never there. She was too busy making movies and traveling all over the world and having affairs to be bothered with parenting, although she did like to do photo ops with her little girl where they both are playing dress up and mugging for the camera. She packed her little girl off to live in Japan with the sleazebag father, ostensibly to keep the Mafia from kidnapping her (yes, that was the reason for doing that). Basically Sachi Parker had parents who didn't give a flying fuck about her, although her father did seem to like molesting her. It's amazing that she survived all that and is reasonably intact.

r229 and r230 both give great assessments of Shirl.

I think if Shirley never quite reached A List standing it was because she was at the height of her stardom in the late 1950s/early 196os when there were very few films being produced with female stars. I guess Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn and Doris Day and maybe Natalie Wood were the select few who could open a film without the support of a bigger or equally bright male star. Though I'm not even sure if that's accurate. It was also that time when Hollywood was at its nadir making crap like What a Way to Go!, just waiting for 1967 and everything to change.

Jesus, I thought she was well on her way to her next incarnation by now.

The early 1960s were not without some very good films, especially in Britain. 1967 was more of a turning point for American film.

Shirley was never less than interesting to watch,, and one of my favourite performances of hers was as Fran the Eleveator Girl in Billy Wilder's vicious but funny, "The Apartment", with a really fine ensemble cast rather than one outstanding male star to carry the film.

Shirley got rich from real estate? What real estate? I was under the impression she resided in a crappy little Malibu house.

Yes, as I said, r232, HOLLYWOOD was at its nadir.

I thought Shirley had a mansion near Sedona to commune with the ETs? I caught part of an interview several yrs ago. Likely she has multiple properties which could easily be a portfolio of +20M. Who knows? Plus book and related movie licensing, maybe she doe appearances at new age events? It all adds up. And she's not spending on personal care...lol. Her tits remind me of that old granny from the 1970s Playboy cartoons.

Plus:

Joan - adequate mother, rich, still in demand as a socialite, younger husband.

Shirley - bad mother, skint, misanthropic lush.

R211, Shirley admits that her affair with Mitchum lasted three years at 24:00.

She was not ugly but I never found her attractive.

Then she changed her story. Hmmmm.
