In her new memoir, The Wall of Life: Pictures and Stories from This Marvelous Lifetime, Shirley MacLaine recounts her encounters with 13 of the last 14 U.S. presidents, highlighting an uncomfortable meeting with Donald Trump in the 1980s. MacLaine describes a chance encounter at Trump-owned 666 Fifth Avenue, where she felt uneasy as she sensed Trump undressing her with his eyes. She exited the meeting quickly and decided against renting the apartment, citing both the discomfort and the high price. While she never met Richard Nixon, MacLaine has fond memories of other presidents, including performing at John F. Kennedy's birthday celebration in 1962. Her memoir also includes entertaining anecdotes and photos from her lengthy career, emphasizing her unique position at the intersection of Hollywood and politics.
