MacLaine sempre me fascinou – como atriz, como „maluca“ (não só a “persona kookie” que encarnou nos anos 50 e 60 mas também a escritora de livros sobre reencarnação dos anos 80 e 90…) e como uma beleza singular. Não estou falando de uma beleza do tipo “Garbo”, “Lamarr” ou “Leigh” porém de uma menina que era uma gracinha ! Que carinha…
E mesmo já aos 40 (em tempos nos quais não era “políticamente incorreto” fazer-se reclames para peles - Ave... pagará Shirley em várias vidas por isto?) Shirley sabia que, mesmo não tendo sido uma boa bailarina, tinha umas das pernocas “show-business” mais encantadoras do planeta!!!!! I love this picture!!!!!

Ricardo, MacLaine é uma daquelas atrizes consistentes, coerentes, verdadeiras do cinema. Você fala sobre a "gracinha" que era: concordo totalmente. Mas tem algo de diferente nessa gracinha: o olhar límpido, direto, quase inocente, mesmo quando interpreta personagens nem tão inocentes assim. Mas ela transmite uma inocência, uma transparência que são encantadoras.
MacLaine tem um quê de Massina, aquela coisa meio "abandonada" que comove, emociona. E tem algo ainda mais raro: uma veia humorística refinada. Nada em sua interpretação é acidental: há uma franqueza e uma honestidade que comunicam à gente que ela está ali inteira. E que nos dará tudo o que tem de melhor.
Amo MacLaine e desde já declaro quitada a minha cota de "perdão" pelas peles. Os tempos eram outros. E o glamour, também.
Ave, maravilhosa Shirley MacLaine.

Oi,Ricardo
É muito bom ler seu post - como sempr,muito legal - e ficar lembrando de Shirley MacLaine, tanto em comédias quanto em dramas como "Laços de Ternura".
A irmã de Warren Beatty é muito versátil; interessante comparar a beleza dos dois.
Tenho livros dela na minha estante,tb. A vida é dinâmica mesmo.

Ricardo, o que são reclames para peles ave? adorei a postagem. As lindas fotos de Shirley justificam sua opinião. gostei também de ler o comentário da Maurette. Sempre generosa e bem informada. parabéns aos dois. Beijos da Paçoca
Tem razão, ela é especial. Mesmo com mais idade continua uma pessoa que a gente gosta de olhar.
Beijos
Shirley MacLaine de fato é singular, tanto na sua atuação como em sua personalidade. Sou fã.
Mas eu não sabia que ela havia escrito livros sobre reencarcação. Vivendo e aprendendo, não
é mesmo?
Beijos, querido.
Uma das grandes actrizes do último terço do século XX e uma mulher encantadora, nas suas diversas vertentes.
Marcia querida, nao quiz dizer "peles-ave" e sim "peles - Ave (Maria)... será... bla bla). Hi hi!!!!
Those are surely lovely legs!Wow! Somewhat I remember this picture. Mike
Ricardo, também sou fã de carteirinha. Um espetáculo! Um jeito de menina e eternos olhos travessos.Adorei a postagem! Lindas fotos!

Ricardo - we love Shirley MacLaine! She is one of the most versatile, endearing and enduring talents to hit the stage and silver screen! Irma La Douce, Sweet Charity, The Apartment - she could act, sing, dance - with a huge dose of personality!
I have found some Shirley Maclaine quotes I hope you like:
Personal Quotes
Some people think I look like a sweet potato, I consider myself a spud with a heart of gold.
I had a video made of my recent knee operation. The doctor said it was the best movie I ever starred in.
I think in my 40s, right around the time of The Turning Point (1977), that I began to address myself more to the future. See, I wasn't afraid of getting old, because I never had the problems the other actresses my age had. I was never a great beauty. I was never a sex symbol. I did, however, have great legs, because I was a dancer. But I didn't have that baggage. I wasn't interested in my stature as a star. Ever. I was just interested in good parts.
[about her considering ballet as a profession) I was never good enough to be a soloist. Quatre ballet was about all I could handle. I didn't have those beautifully constructed feet [high arches, high insteps]. My extension on my left leg was pretty good, but I didn't point my foot with that grace that suggests true beauty.
An actor has many lives and many people within him. I know there are lots of people inside me. No one ever said I'm dull.
I can't define longevity. I don't know what it means.
[New York Times interview, Oct. 16, 2005]: I regret turning down the lead role in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) which Ellen Burstyn deservedly won an Oscar for. I said to myself: "Who is this Martin Scorsese person?".
[on Oscars] I love to win those things. Love it. The only part about it I don't like is the red carpet and getting a dress and walking around in high heels and holding in my stomach. I hate that.
[on accepting her Oscar, 1983] I am going to cry because this show has been as long as my career! I have wondered for 26 years what this would feel like! Thank you for terminating the suspense.
I'm not unaware of how I'm perceived, I just don't care about it. Unless I really hurt someone's feelings. I care about that.
...I was always a character actress and never a sex symbol. Even when I was the leading lady, I was a character actor.
I've made so many movies playing a hooker that they don't pay me in the regular way anymore. They leave it on the dresser.
On personal power: You are the architect of your personal experience.
Have a great summer ...!

Ricardo, my last response did not appear to go through ... so I will try again!
