Shirley MacLaine is an American actress, director, screenwriter and producer. The date, when she was born is April 24, 1934. The birthplace of the actress is Richmond, Virginia, USA. "I think I am the happiest - MacLaine once remarked - when I look like a slob". Her mother was a teacher of Dramatic Art, so the girl went in the ballet school. After several years of the high school Shirley moved to New York to continue her education. MacLaine performed on Broadway, in 1955, so she was noticed, and she signed a contract with "Paramount Pictures". Her film debut in Alfred Hitchcock's black comedy "The Trouble with Harry" (1955) has brought something new to Hollywood. There was a hint of bohemian, which was mixed with an obvious vulnerability. Give to her a scenario that takes into account both sides, as in the movie Billy Wilder's "Apartment" (1960), and it can be both incredibly funny, and cause sorrow. She often got the role of cardiac girlfriends: Wilder in the movie "Sweet Irma" (1963) and in the Bob Fosse film "Sweet Charity" (1969). When she got older, she moved to the execution of a government role, for example, in the film by John Schlesinger, "Madame Suzatska" (1988). Along with acting career MacLaine began a career of a writer, tirelessly promoting the idea of spiritualism and reincarnation.
