Shirley MacLaine: Hollywood legend is looking for a cocktail buddy

Shirley MacLaine (90) is looking for an assistant for an unusual area of ​​responsibility. According to an anonymous source, he or she must be hard drinking, especially in the afternoon. The Hollywood legend is reportedly looking for someone with whom she can drink cocktails every day at 5 p.m. sharp. The assistant should talk to her about her films and her career.

Shirley MacLaine is said to have asked those around her for a recommendation for a personal assistant and made a short list of requirements. The cocktail hour was at the top. When someone asked her whether the candidates should have other skills, the actress just shrugged her shoulders. According to the anonymous source, she is said to be “very generous” with pay.

In any case, Shirley MacLaine has enough to tell the assistant over a nice drink. The actress can look back on a career spanning almost 70 years. Warren Beatty’s sister (87) made her film debut in 1955 in “Always in Trouble with Harry” by Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980). She belonged to the extended circle of the “Rat Pack” around Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) and Dean Martin (1917-1995).

In the 1960s she became best known for two films for Billy Wilder (1906-2002): she received two of her Oscar nominations for “The Apartment” and “The Girl Irma la Douce”. In 1984 she finally won for “Time of Tenderness” – her last nomination to date.

Even at the age of 90, Shirley MacLaine doesn’t think about quitting. She most recently appeared in two episodes of the hit comedy series “Only Murders in the Building.” She is also said to have two new films in the pipeline.
