“ If only” I could meet Shirley MacLaine, my life will be completed. Then I could continue my journey in the other side in peace. She is my guru. Namaste!!! 🙌🏼💓
I love Shirley and so appreciated her "spiritual coming-out" years ago. Have always felt aligned with her. I don't think the interviewer is so bad- think she's just, hmm, exuberant. At one point Shirley said something self-deprecating- no need darlin' - love to Shirley.
I agree, Aida Amorre I was surprised that the host became my focus. Have to cut her some slack, tho. Shirley would intimidate even Phil, Larry or Oprah!
@Lawrence L. Agreed. Shirley Maclaine spoke at my college commencement in 1973. She's marvelous. I was referring to your defense of Dayna Devon as neutral and objective. That bouncy ear-splitting pitch of preening ingratiation, on top of the clichéd questions -- Of all your movies, what's your favorite? Come on, Shirley, like if you had to pick! -- makes me want to cover my ears and eyes. Which also appears to have been Shirley Maclaine's reaction.
Shirley Maclaine as an actress ~she is brilliant. Yet on her personal life as one point solely sad her relations with her daughter. Maybe one day they will come to terms to heal. Peace & Blessings
So many people in the comments are dissing on the host. My viewpoint at the very beginning of watching this may have harmonized with most of the negative comments, but as I was watching, my viewpoint morphed a bit. Here's my take: Although she does have that sort of "LA-ish," "put-on" and sort of fake-sounding persona, I believe she's a good person with good intentions and it's more like NOT that she really is insincere or fake but that she has settled into that sort of persona of "here I am the host and I have to sound… PROFESSIONAL… after all, I'm on a Los Angeles TV station and …" Etc. There are hosts that I REALLY don't like who I think ARE more "fake," (and don't really necessarily care much about the guests or the viewers but more about being a hotshot). I don't get that about this girl. I get that she's genuine but wears the MASK of an LA news host/newscaster etc. I actually think with some direction and practice, she could loosen up a bit and be more toned down/real. I wouldn't say that about all hosts that sort of sound like her. I may be wrong, but I feel I'm right and that's my story and I'm sticking to it :-) For anyone who sees this comment this week (late December 2019) Merry Christmas and a very happy 2020, all!
Interviewer treats guest as a commodity. You can don't that to a great like Shirley without it coming off as superficial. Host needs to be selling beer somewhere at a fair, for tips, that might work better for her. lol
I totally agree. She has such a body of work and I don't believe the host really "gets" her or is REALLY paying attention. Not worthy of the "weight" of this legend!
Dayna Devon "got so excited just to be able to talk to you [Shirley Maclaine] like a real person!" I can only hope that Ms. Devon, artificially giddy to the shrill point of self-parody, can learn from the experience.
She was unwatchable and other than TOE & Steel Magnolias, I highly doubt she could name another Shirley movie title. Or know about her many other talents.
“The Totie Fields Story” biopic proposal includes this very special scene: Totie’s 1960’s appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show to be recreated with Melissa McCarthy, as Totie, singing her signature song, “I’m Perfect,” stopping midway, running past a smiling Sullivan and into the live audience during the CBS-TV telecast. Unlike the original footage showing an overview of Totie in the audience, now a camera would be placed on Melissa to show the audience from her POV---as she stops in front of a totally unsuspecting lady in an aisle seat: there, in a non-credited role, one which would surely surprise and delight movie audiences and critics alike, the lady suggested to play the part is no less than a truly original, multi-talented S-T-A-R----the legendary Miss Shirley MacLaine; Melissa to let Shirley “have it,” heckling her to no end, bringing one of television’s most comedic and historical moments back for new generations, many which have never heard of Totie before, to enjoy. Shirley herself would forever “lovingly scold” Melissa for doing this scene. Why? Because Shirley’s family, friends and fans around the world would be running up to her and reenacting this famous Totie heckling scene, complete with their wanting to mess up Shirley’s hair! Only the fabulous and always adorable Miss Melissa McCarthy can bring the loveable yet tragic Totie back to life in the role of a lifetime with “The Totie Fields Story,” with the proposed S-T-A-R, Miss Shirley MacLaine, as the extra special treat!--- Mark Matlock/Andromeda International Records androintl@earthlink.net
SHIRLEY MACLAINE BEATTY Actress/Singer/ Dancer/ Author Where is he? I was pretending to walk on water then realized my feet were over the sand as my eyes languishing to reach the stars... regrettable not to answer when you called, then it has been like Hollywood: mixture of clouds and sunshine; villains and noble creatures to share the diminutive particle of time gifted by God. You are beautiful! You're respected and truly loved thus generations will stand to worship your remarkable motion-picture achievement, happy you make us all proud. There is only one you Shirley, the Creator tricking for it is His desire to turn each woman into masterpiece... ah how purifying to sense His jealous watching from Heaven! How miraculous caught smile of His even brief. Sorry there was a witch scheming to mislead the populace though vigilant spymaster samurai-sword disguised, much evil to right.

My favourite actress, The Apartment to Downton Abbey. So different, great sense of herself too,. I've read all her books. Thanks Shirley.
One of a kind hope she lives forever

I actually really liked the interviewer! I thought she did a great job.
I've just started reading "The Camino". I am so tuned in to her!!!
84!? That's incredible! I really love Shirley's acting.
She did those hysterical scenes so well
*"Out On A Limb"* is my favorite from Shirely
This host is not coming across as genuine and Shirley saw right through it! 😭😂
I agree, Aida Amorre I was surprised that the host became my focus. Have to cut her some slack, tho. Shirley would intimidate even Phil, Larry or Oprah!
@Lawrence L. She experience this host as neutral and objective? To my eyes and ears, she's anything but.

The worst interviewer ever allowed. Poor Shirley - she was gracious to put up with it.
Shirley Maclaine as an actress ~she is brilliant. Yet on her personal life as one point solely sad her relations with her daughter. Maybe one day they will come to terms to heal. Peace & Blessings
They're working on that right now.
love Shirley
My favorite actress
Shirley is amazing the interviewer is so annoying
Terrible. Who in their right mind would assign this airhead the privilege of interviewing Shirley MacLaine?!?

Host is agonizingly dreadful...pitiful really. A disgrace.Sorry for Shirley MacLaine-deserves so much better.
I can’t stand these dizzy, young hosts, too foolish! Smh
I totally agree. She has such a body of work and I don't believe the host really "gets" her or is REALLY paying attention. Not worthy of the "weight" of this legend!
"Ceeee-cil B. DeMille" ...
They don’t let Shirley talk on what she wonts to shes wonderful person so sweet kind real judy d cox ch calif jan24 2022
The host was very upbeat. Doing her job with respect and Shirley was just a pain. Sorry.

The host is ridiculous.
Lmao "whats the applause for?"
She was so fake and can tell there is no sincerity at all to a class act as Ms MacLaine. Mainly due to being so young and inexperienced it seems.
The interviewer is simple a MESS, ohhhh my Gosh she is terrible BAD and have no idea who is Shirley !!!!!
Energy hug🍥🤺
Who is this person hosting? She's just terrible.
yes: so artificial
Does anyone else think she sounds like Katherine Hepburn?
Host not measuring up to Shirley's realness.

I don’t understand that judges rope Shirley is wearing. Otherwise, I love her so much.
I saw a saging outfit, fitting for her as a spiritual teacher... Kind of Jedi looking come to think of it.
She loved youre makeup. hahahahahahahahah Nothing about constantly not listening and looking in the camera herself this blonde women. But youre makeup wow hahahahahahaha
This is somewhat cringy...
She abandoned her daughter.
gossip!
What are you most proud of? Your OSCAR???? Not your DAUGHTER? Gosh pray for this crazy person. Pray for her Daughter,
