Shirley MacLaine Reflects on Hollywood Encounters

In her new memoir, The Wall of Life: Pictures and Stories from This Marvelous Lifetime, Shirley MacLaine reveals that she once propositioned actor Morgan Freeman, who declined her advances. MacLaine recounted this moment, stating, 'I thought his acting was brilliant' but noted Freeman simply shook his head in response. The 90-year-old actress, who had an open marriage with ex-husband Steve Parker, also discussed her relationships with other stars, mentioning that Jack Nicholson was not her type despite being one of her favorite co-stars. Additionally, she shared memories of advising Elvis Presley on set behavior and expressed that she never truly connected with Peter Sellers as he was always in character. The book will be released on October 22, offering more anecdotes from her illustrious career.
