Academy Award-winning actress and New York Times bestselling author
Shirley MacLaine shares a dazzling memoir in photographs, chronicling
her extraordinary life with 150+ images from her personal archive With
more than seventy years on the silver screen, Shirley MacLaine has, as
she says, seen it all, done it all, been everywhere, and met everyone.
Since making her Hollywood debut in 1955, her popularity has only
grown as she’s amassed a stunning collection of awards and written
multiple bestselling memoirs. Now, at ninety years old, MacLaine has
more stories to tell and the pictures to bring them to life. By
introducing readers to her extensive photo collection—which she
calls her “wall of life”—MacLaine reveals both intimate family
memories and images with some of the most significant figures from
entertainment and politics. With wit and charm, she reflects on each
photo, exploring ambition, love, friendship, motherhood, art,
political activism, curiosity, and more. Charting the course of her
remarkable life and career, MacLaine shares both early memories (her
childhood with her brother, Warren Beatty; her decision to leave for
New York City at age sixteen; her early work dancing on Broadway) as
well as remembrances of her days in the public eye (campaigning for
George McGovern, traveling to meet political luminaries, starring in
legendary film roles, and developing an interest in spirituality).
Along the way, readers gain greater insight into figures such as Frank
Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bob Fosse, Jack Nicholson, the Dalai Lama, Fidel
Castro, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and many more. Whether she's sharing what
advice Elvis Presley asked her for, how she consoled close friend
Elizabeth Taylor after the death of her husband, or which head of
state she discussed UFOs with, MacLaine offers her most visual and
delightful book yet, giving readers an unprecedented glance into a
life like no other.
