Happy Birthday to the legendary, iconic, talented and cute,
Shirley MacLaine ♡Shirley has been one of my favourite actresses for so long now, since watching
Steel Magnolia's in my nanny and grandas house on a Saturday night (millennial of me ik). And she has now came to be my favourite old hollywood actress too.
2/4 of her films are in my top 4
(The apartment and the children's hour)- I have this problem were I hyperfixate on certain actors or directors and I want to immediately consume every piece of living media they have. And so last year I started watching literally all her films, out of pure just love for her classic style of acting and how she does it with such ease in my eyes.
This is the
60th Shirley MacLaine movie I've seen to date... bit excessive I know but someone had to do it to know how amazing she is (me).
So here is a top 10 of my favourites that come to mind from her incredible discography (if you haven't seen any of these please watch them);
**1. The Apartment
2. Irma la Douce
3. The children's hour
4. Some Came Running
5. All in a nights work
6. Steel Magnolia's
7. What a way to go!
8. The Trouble with harry
9. Being There
10. Terms of endearment**
**"In 'The Apartment,' I learned that stillness can be more powerful than words. Billy Wilder taught me that." - Shirley MacLaine
