Shirley MacLaine: yeas & nays. She's a great Dem. Yet I've felt a coldness.
Could be that she's the maximum Extrovert. Us introverts just don't warm up to those.
My main negative was when Richard DREYFUS collected his Oscar and she just shoved him aside in his moment, with her paen to the love for Warren her brother. And that's something, why are they siblings and named whatever. Something like when Angelina kissed her brother on the mouth. Where is *he* all these years, by the bye?!1 But I digress.
When she won for Terms of Endearment, I loved it. And her in Sweet Charity. Other things, meh, but who am I.
