dame shirley



i hereby induct Shirley Maclaine into the hall of dames, because she's brilliant, brassy, batsh*t crazy and proud of it! Shirley's career is full of gems upon gems, from Irma La Douce to the incomparable Terms of Endearment. she's a triple threat talent, and if you're into astrology, numerology and/or UFO abductions, checkout her website :)
there are oodles of stunning photos of Shirley on the internet, but some of my favourites are from a series of mother daughter pics from the Life archives:

I've always loved her in The Apartment, a Mad Men story long time before our Mad Men! And I've always hated the fact that with the bad italian translation of the last scene of the movie, her words sound a lot sugary than intended...

I loved her kooky Irma la Douce...we've watched it so many times. She is such a great actress..back then and even her latest movies. She made the one with Nick Cage...something about the president's wife...can't remember the name...a simple and enjoyable piece. Great mother daughter pics.
