SHIRLEY MACLAINE

AND LONESOME
By AMY FRANCIS
BlUE-EYED, FRECKLE-FACED ("I've got freckles all over; if they'd spread a little I'd have me a lovely tan") Shirley MacLaine perched on a tiny black lacquered Japanese stool in the center of her living room and talked. "Ever since 'Some Came Running' was released, people come up to congratulate me, saying, 'Isn't it too, too mah-vel-ous your getting to be a star overnight, Deah!' But, like the man said, it takes nights and nights to make it overnight That's the truth.
"Ever since I was two I've spent hours every day practicing dancing and singing. It seems like only yesterday I was singing 'Flat-Foot Floogie with the Floy Floy,' with my feet turned out at 160 degrees. Actually, I was only three then and it was my first public appearance. My WrongWay Corrigan feet were ready-made for ballet. They're what started me dancing. And up until I got so busy recently making movies by day and rehearsing TV musicals by night, I've never stopped practicing and taking dancing and singing lessons."
If it's true that one swallow doesn't make a summer, it's doubly true that one Oscar nomination doesn't make an actress of Shirley MacLaine's calibre. Behind her there are years of heartbreaking effort during which she proved that she's mastered her craft. Today, the rust-haired song and dance girl who turned dramatic actress with nary a drama lesson is the hottest property in Hollywood — a high voltage exciting new star who is strictly big time.
It would be only natural now for Miss MacLaine to take a few swipes at those who ho-hummed her talents during the past years in Hollywood. HUSBAND Steve Parker makes movies in Japan But all she says is, "I'm glad it didn't happen sooner. Now I know
but Shirley insists their marriage is secure. what I'm doing. I actually feel sorry for the young actress who is thrown
into a tough role immediately after she arrives in Hollywood. She's had so little time to learn how to learn."
Anyway, Shirley prefers talking about her husband, Steve, and her 2-year-old daughter, Stephanie, who looks remarkably like her mother, or as Shirley says, "as if I'd been dipped in CIopox and someone took my picture."
