The Unstoppable Shirley Maclaine

The Unstoppable Shirley Maclaine

Neither a classic beauty like Elizabeth Taylor, nor a sex symbol like Marilyn Monroe, it was MacLaine's apparent simplicity — combined with her boundless energy, strong discipline and personality — that helped build her long-lasting success. This success, which has lasted for 70 years, offers an inspiring and hopeful example of what the actress has embodied throughout her filmography.
