Shirley MacLaine is celebrating her 91st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.
Popular actress-dancer-author Shirley MacLaine (Terms of Endearment, The Apartment, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 91st birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.
MacLaine, a cultural icon
Born Shirley MacLean Beaty in Richmond on April 24, 1934, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. MacLaine's not just a great actress, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Shirley hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Shirley MacLaine as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 91.
Happy Birthday, Shirley, you're the best!
