They are brother and sister.
Miss Kubelik.
Exactly
I remember being so surprised when I found that out around 45 years ago
For a famous beauty and exquisite ballet dancer to look that disheveled, uncombed, braless and badly dressed is truly sad. Shirley appears to have rheumatoid arthritis, which can’t be fun, after decades of dance athleticism. She needs a caregiver who is greatly more professional.
OK, that was Peter Sellers in Chauncey Gardener—a very memorable flick, but whatevah!
In addition to many of the films cited above, to me as a woman she was stunning in Irma La Douce, and gave an especially stellar perfomance in Tems of Endearment (with Deborah Winger and Jack Nicholson).
I ended up in the lobby, sobbing, after seeing that. The film set you up to expect a comedy, and then it got as serious as cancer. Nicholson and MacLaine were great together -- both very strong performances; but Shirley ripped my heart out when she went to the defense of her daughter. She won an Oscar, a Bafta, and a Golden Globe for that performance.
“In addition to many of the films cited above, to me as a woman she was stunning in Irma La Douce”
Irma La Douce is funny but I like the 1964 film “What a Way To Go” better. She gets to play opposite Dick Van Dyke, Dean Martin, Paul Newman, Gene Kelly and Robert Mitchum. Bob Cummings is also good in the movie.
Good for her.
She had a fun scene in Oceans 11 with Dean Martin.
We used to describe Obama as Chauncey Gardner.
I did not realize that. And I don’t get it, either. Explain?
A habit of sleeping with married men, many of them costars. Lunatic limousine liberal.
A top tier horrible mother, when she bothered to show up.
He came from nowhere with no clear past, he seemed ignorant and empty yet had some force propelling him ahead as people saw in him what they wanted to see and interpreted his words as what they wanted to hear no matter how empty of substance they were.
OK...I went back and read the Wiki plot description. And yes, I now remember how sad it was. Can’t believe I didn’t remember that aspect. May’ve been cross-remembering it with “The Goodbye Girl”.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the John Lithgow/Debra Winger grocery store scene in “Terms”? The scene where he tells the grocery store cashier “You must be a Democrat”?
Aaaah, now I see. Good call!
>> The scene where he tells the grocery store cashier “You must be a Democrat”?<<
Almost, but not quite:

Thank you! I looked for that but I was looking for the wrong thing. But,that’s what I was thinking about.
It was. Debra Winger’s character’s professor husband was having an affair with a student, and she ended up involved with Lithgow’s character in some way. I thought that was true about the “Democrat” remark he made to a rude cashier, but it wasn’t in the script (at least the one I read)
I always did like “The Goodby Girl” too.
I remembered it as funny, but boy, when I re-watched it, I sure was wrong. But yes, the film DID set it up as a comedy, and in retrospect, I wouldn’t have classified it that way.
I don’t like that in a movie. Be a drama. Or be a comedy. But don’t be both.
The best example to me was a movie “Love & Other Drugs” with Anne Hathaway and Jake Glynenhall. They played drug representative (the kind who peddled their drugs to physicians) and my wife and I howled at the first half of the movie, we both thought it was brilliantly funny. We both spent our careers in medicine, and we had seen these kinds of people often enough in real life to make it hit our funny bone, from the slicked back hair and pointy shoes to to the rolling bags they carried their drugs in.
I thought it might have been one of the funniest movies I had seen in years.
And then they got serious.
In the second half of the movie, it got totally serious, and it completely ruined the movie.
