Shirley MacLaine - Born 1934
American Actress, Singer & Author
Added to the album by Benjamin, A Wonderful Man
If you have Audrey Hepburn [Wonderful Woman No. 30] it wouldn't be fair to leave out Shirley MacLaine.
Benjamin
A great nomination for yet another Wonderful Woman who is so inprinted through modern culture, it seems like the world hardly existed before her.
In 1955, a young Shirley Maclaine made her film debut in Alfred Hitchcock's The Trouble with Harry, so accomplished was the debutante, that she won the Golden Globe award for best newcomer. Shirley went on to star in more than sixty pictures, many of them still some of the most enjoyed pieces of cinema in history, to name but a few; Ocean's 11 (original version), The Apartment, Sweet Charity and Terms of Endearment. Her latest film, Bernie, was made just last year, marking 56 years at the top of the entertainment industry.
Like many actresses featured in the album, the list of prizes scooped by Shirley is infinately long. Among them are six Golden Globes, an Academy Award for Terms of Endearment and an Emmy.
Shirley has also written fourteen books, all of which are autobiographical and centre around her spiritual beliefs, as well as her experiences as one of the world's best known actresses.
Once again, I feel I must remark on how wonderful it is that Shirley has had such a lengthy and celebrated career.
I want women to be liberated and still be able to have a nice ass and shake it.
Shirley MacLaine
