Shirley MacLaine, born 1934
When actress Shirley MacLaine turned fifty on April 24, 1984, she was enjoying what she said was the best year of her life. She had just won a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar for Best Actress in the critically acclaimed film Terms of Endearment. She was also singing and dancing and packing the 1,992-seat Gershwin Theatre in New York City with her one-person show, Shirley MacLaine on Broadway. In addition, the paperback edition of her book on spiritualism, Out on a Limb, had just reached the top of the New York Times best-seller list. Little wonder that Time posed her doing a theatrical high kick for its cover that spring.
Gordon Munro, 1984
