At 89, This Hollywood Icon Is Still Making Waves with Scandal and Charm!
At 89, Shirley MacLaine is unstoppable, still full of energy and charm that have defined her incredible career. The Oscar-winning actress enjoys martinis and is often seen enjoying nights out in Hollywood, living life with humor and style.
With a career spanning seven decades, Shirley has starred in famous films like The Apartment, The Trouble With Harry, Two Mules for Sister Sara, and Guarding Tess. Fans especially love her as Ouiser Boudreaux in Steel Magnolias. However, Shirley is nothing like her prickly character in real life. In 2019, she said, “Not that much bothers me,” adding, “Anger is a choice, peace is a choice, sarcasm — which I’m good at — is a choice.”
Today, Shirley describes her life as “perfect.” She loves the freedom to eat, sleep, and spend time with her terriers on her ranch in New Mexico. Surrounded by nature, she finds peace and energy. Looking back on her life, she treasures her travels as much as her career, saying, “I’d rather travel to a country I hadn’t been to… I’m not sure I wouldn’t put the travels a bit above show business.”
Although Shirley still visits Hollywood sometimes, she feels most at home in the wilderness. She believes in connecting with nature and advises others to “give it up and learn to amalgamate with nature,” emphasizing the importance of living in harmony with the world around us.
Shirley’s personal life has always fascinated fans. She was married to producer Steve Parker for nearly 30 years. They had a daughter, Sachi, but Shirley has acknowledged having other relationships during her marriage. Sachi once claimed her real father is an astronaut named Paul, but Shirley denied this and expressed sadness, calling the story “virtually all fiction.”
In 2011, Shirley discussed her unconventional views on relationships with Oprah. In 2012, she revealed that she had romantic encounters with notable figures, including two prime ministers. While she often shares these experiences, it’s important to remember they are her personal accounts and may not be entirely factual.
Through love, adventure, and acting, Shirley remains a Hollywood legend. Her role in Only Murders in the Building proves she still loves performing. She enjoyed playing Leonora Folger and working alongside Steve Martin, Martin Short, and creator John Hoffman.
Shirley MacLaine is a true Hollywood treasure whose boldness and talent have left a lasting legacy. Her fans continue to admire her, and we hope she keeps inspiring us for many more years!
