They had heard the star telling an interviewer that the only thing she had never done was to ride an elephant. So when MacLaine arrived at the theater...
...successful woman at 50. Shirley MacLaine, who always attracted affection, now commands respect. Her triumph is proof of the power of positive thinking-and action. MacLaine is lean, fit, happier and more attractive than ever. She has worked hard to keep limber physically and mentally, and she welcomes the birthday that saddens so many people: "I love the idea of 50, because the best is yet to come. I am going to live...
