Shirley MacLaine

Shirley MacLaine
New York is the perfect town for getting over a disappointment, a loss, or a broken heart.
Shirley MacLaine

Shirley MacLaine
You know, I think I had my first past life recall when I was 7.
Shirley MacLaine
I was always a character actress and never a sex symbol. Even when I was the leading lady, I was a character actor.
Shirley MacLaine
I have never seen myself as leading for others. What's important is that I know who I am. Not completely. But I'm coming around third base.
Shirley MacLaine
