In her new memoir, 'The Wall of Life: Pictures and Stories from This Marvelous Lifetime', Shirley MacLaine reflects on her illustrious career and reveals that she was once offered the iconic role of Holly Golightly in 'Breakfast at Tiffany’s', a part ultimately played by Audrey Hepburn. MacLaine declined the offer due to her dislike for wardrobe fittings and her belief that the script was subpar. She expressed no regrets about her decision, stating she wasn't keen on the idea of focusing on her appearance for the role. Additionally, MacLaine reminisced about her close relationship with her brother Warren Beatty and shared that they have never worked together, despite both being Hollywood legends. The memoir also features childhood photos and insights into their bond. The book is set to be released on October 22, 2024.
