Shirley and nothing else!
At a time when actresses felt they had to make the most of their looks and were always as made up and pampered as possible, Shirley MacLaine decided to get in the world of cinema just as she was and that was well before the “natural” became the norm. Nearly sixty years later, Shirley does not see fit to change.
Turned up nose, freckles, short haircut, strongly made-up eyelashes, bright red lips for a very thin mouth at a time when a glamorous fashionable pump-up lips was the fashionable look, Shirley and her unstoppable smile managed to slip into films which have become classics.
With this successful and unchanged recipe, her indefatigable energy, and her mischievous look, Miss MacLaine has added over time, a growing authority.
At almost 80 and Shirley is still true to herself.
