Shirley MacLaine got her start in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Trouble With Harry (1955) and ended up having a decades-long career in film, TV and publishing. That’s right: the starlet had brains and authored several books throughout her lengthy time in Hollywood.
Three years after her 1955 debut, MacLaine received her first Oscar nomination for Some Came Running, a war drama starring Frank Sinatra. She was nominated six different times before bringing home the gold for Terms of Endearment. Throughout her career, she’s won five Golden Globes, an Emmy and two BAFTA awards. She also received an AFI Life Achievement Award, the highest honor an actress can get from the American Film Institute.
