SHIRLEY MacLAINE on ELIZABETH TAYLOR - Diva on Diva

[@darrenmiller6927]

Love Elizabeth Taylor, powerful actress, rare beauty, unforgettable movies and performances. Unforgettable!

[@leeannasloan526]

Shirley seems to have a sense of herself that not alot of actresses have. She was never afraid to be who she was in front of the whole world.

[@rgs6236]

Leeanna Sloan definitely 👏🏾👏🏾

[@phillipsmom6252]

Too bad she was a crappy mother.

[@brendaphelps4606]

Both these actresses are and were wonderful...love the honesty and neither was a phony. All accolades well deserved.

Even Elizabeth said that Shirley should have won the Oscar for "The Apartment".

[@BilliePosters]

honestly i always remember it as her winning weird

[@mogznwaz]

But Liz should have won it for 'Cat On A Hot Tin Roof' 🤷‍♀️

[@Garbeaux.]

I think it was given for not getting Cat the Hot Tin Roof. There’s been many of those over the years. The tracheotomy was a bad coincidence.

[@JloveLamar]

Because she felt the role was too close to home. Nobody was winning over that fantastic performance, and I love The Apartment. The opening 5 minutes of BUtterfield 8, where Elizabeth says 3 words, are fantastic

[@michaelhoey9668]

i second everything shirley said about Elizabeth taylor. Elizabeth taylor was a truly wonderful person

[@meman6964]

Got better ss she aged. Remember she was a home wrecker, stealing Eddie Fisher leaving Debby Reynolds with 2 little children.

[@isabellastasicastriotascan6467]

Very good interview about the strong and amazing friendship between Shirley Mac Laine and Elizabeth Taylor, two amazing and very different ✨

[@kalevala29]

I like how she called her Squirrelly. They must have been fun friends.

[@polyprinz]

Does anyone remember THESE OLD BROADS with Liz Taylor, Shirley MacLain, Debbie Reynolds, and Joan Collins? It was really funny!

[@castadivanorma8478]

Of course !!

[@nope_no_nunya.]

Yeah. Is that the movie she says is a piece of crap at the end?

[@Ma_Ba]

@@nope_no_nunya. Yeah, but it was a showpiece written by Carrie Fisher getting Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor screen time together. Clips of it are on You Tube or you can rent it on Walmart platform "Vudu."

[@shihlin1]

I beg to differ on the movie "These Old Broads" also co-starring Debbie Reynolds. The TV movie was a MESS ! It was badly written by Carrie Fisher containing embarrassingly even worse dialogue ! Not even the combined talents of Liz, Debbie and Shirley could save it !

[@danielleporter1829]

I remember, I watched it when it aired on tv

[@AmericanPatriot-1776]

I love Liz' White Diamonds perfume. It's smells so beautiful and it's the only perfume I can wear that doesn't make my husband sneeze. I love it.

[@johnnymfan5065]

I never knew Shirley and Liz were so close..

[@jochenstossberg5427]

Liz didn't know either. So go figure.

[@thomasralabate5645]

If I could be granted a wish to meet a handful of people in this life or the after-life, it would definitely be Shirley and Elizabeth. They gave the world a body of iconic work.

[@7777lizabeth]

Debbie Reynolds aged amazingly well!!!! She was so spunky and cute! As wonderful as Elizabeth Taylor is I cannot understand how she could destroyed her best friend's marriage and stole her children's father away? How could she do that and have a conscience? That can't be justified by saying Elizabeth was grieving. That's pretty darn cruel in my book. And it goes against girl code!

[@RedactedFreePress]

Elizabeth Anderson-the circumstances with her death are absolutely nuts. she was cute. and she was a loving mother unlike so many of these vain, egocentric actresses.

[@melanistar]

She didn't steal him away. She was in the depths of grieving the love of her life, and he was there consoling her. I dont see how she was to blame, clearly he took advantage of her grief. Even Debbie forgave her and held no hard feelings. You should really let it go. It doesn't have anything to do with you.

[@islgrl292]

My two favorite broads! Smart, strong, independent, great sense of humor, & of self! Love Liz & Shirley!

Whether she really means it or not, Shirley says it with gusto. No speech in hand !

[@esenciaderosa]

she are my two Idols in all senses, as stars and as women and as human beings. I love them. They are wonderful.

[@RedactedFreePress]

ELIZABETH TAYLOR was freaking stunning !!

[@janetclaireSays]

I love how at the end Shirley referred to "Old Broads" as a piece of crap. I hate movies where older actresses are hired to play older, cartoon versions of their younger images, and usually bawdy broads as though the audience will be shocked by their bawdiness. It's always lame.

[@Calmontheoutside]

Love how Shirley wedges in the quip about reincarnation at the end of that speech!

[@sharonviolino1723]

Shirley McLaine was very talented very beautiful and very down to earth. The focus should be on her.

[@foxsmom09]

Was? She's still alive isn't she?

[@loveanimals6981]

Well... one out of three ain't bad, I guess (talent, obviously). She's actually been a real witch throughout her life. But she is, no disputing, a gifted actress (I hate to admit).

[@phillipsmom6252]

Too bad she was a crappy mother

[@MrZerosphere]

Towards the end of the interview, she mentions how Elizabeth stated that she only ever wanted a simple life and to be a housewife. So did Coco Chanel - and probably countless others in the rich lime light. Shirley laughs it off (only try to read her face while the interviewer asks the question). I believe it's true. Everyone one wants a simple life in the end.

[@jochenstossberg5427]

Coco Chanel wanted two things in her life, success and money. She was one of the most ruthless women in the business, who sat out the war with a Nazi officer in the luxury of the Ritz, while Paris, and her fellow Parisians, fell. She only escaped having her head shaven, and being paraded in the town square as a traitor, because of Winston Churchill. And that's the truth. He saved her from the most devastating public humiliation.

[@MrZerosphere]

@@jochenstossberg5427 I don't know about that, but she did say that all she really wanted was to have a husband that loved her, which was something that evaded her all her life.

[@InnateNobility]

She never loved like she did when she was with Mike Todd. That was the true love of her life.

[@patriciacurcio9455]

Rest In Peace Elizabeth Taylor

I found that Shirley MacLaine's daughter Sachi Parker did write a Mommy Dearest type memoir. She was neglected by MacLaine who had no time for her.

Shirley got a few great roles that were at first slated for Elizabeth such as Terms of Endearment and Two Mules For Sister Sara

[@melindawakley7859]

Loved this.

[@lowe-quay-shush]

Liz knew how to call em'. She had a great sense of humor. Only Liz could get away with calling Shirley 'Squirrley'. I love Liz.

[@shihlin1]

At 10:35, anyone who's seen "Butterfield 8" knows what a trashy role that was for Liz in a trashy movie. Amazing Hollywood will give the Oscar to La Liz just bc she was near death during the voting process. Shirley really deserved it for "The Apartment" that year.

[@JloveLamar]

shihlin1 Shirley absoultely did NOT deserve the oscar over Elizabeth Taylor. Sure, the film was out there, but Elizabeth gave a fantastic performance in it. The first 5 minutes alone where she's wondering around the apartment are fantastic.

[@bojack40]

shihlin1 fine, but liz deserved it for Cat on a hot tin roof. So it’s all bs

[@bojack40]

shihlin1 Shirley was great in the apartment, which was a classier movie all told. But B8 for all its schlockiness is an enjoyable movie and Elizabeth is great in it. In some ways it looks more truthful now with hindsight than it did at the time (compared it with the wonderful Breakfast at Tiffany’s, where the call girl is so sanitised as to be barely recognisable as such). Gloria resisting Laurence Harvey’s grip on her arm and grinding her heel into his toe gives some insight into the violent undercurrent if such girls lives, and the proce paid fir seemingly glamorous and carefree lives

[@johnpalermo2422]

Incredible beauty of hollywood = Elizabeth Taylor. Vivien Leigh. They were hands down the most beautiful actresses. And Whitney Houstan. She was not only incredibly beautiful she could act and sing.

[@ltljulian]

Whitney Houston could act? Seriously? You mean like in “The Bodyguard” or “The Preacher’s Wife”? Hmmm...

James Sandy She wasn't Liz or Vivien that was they're craft, that was they're realm. BUT she was classy, she had grace, she was elagent, and most of all Mr. Sandy that woman had a GOD given gifted voice and there is NOBODY that was as stunning and could sing as incredibly as Ms. Whitney Houston. So my comment was simply stating those three womem were the best of hollywood. They all were masters at what they did. Sooo yeah.

Us women really must stick together and stick up for one another. The jealousy of all women toward all other women (even within immediate families - mother to daughter, sister to sister) has done nothing to help our cause toward what we all desired for humanity, if we'd just get out of our own way. I think we're finally making progress. 🙏 May God bless us all.

Old Hollywood was not as devised in those as it is becoming now, however, the best actors & actress we're the absolute best. The storylines of the scripts were much more interesting. I still enjoy those old movies those where great. Today movies If they can hold your attention they repeat movies because the talent isn't that good. I miss old Hollywood in many ways!!!

[@shihlin1]

Yeah, but even Liz herself called the movie a piece of trash ! Everybody knows she won the Oscar for that movie bc she was on her deathbed during Oscar voting and the Academy felt sorry for Liz.

[@awendaawenda8011]

Hard to believe Shirley has a brother named Jack Nicholson. Yes, him. This was a time where actors all had class in and out of the lot. Elizabeth was a wonderful actor, lived a full life and her smile and eyes put you at ease very quickly. Shirley is also a great actor and mines flows from her. She allowed herself to grow and learn and take all of that with her.

[@reasonrestored9116]

Alicia Walker Elizabeth was dead then. Going to funerals or not is for the bereaved to decide, not you. If all the people who were such great friends that they showed up at funerals were as good a friend while people were alive, there would be less guilt and less showing up at funerals for show.

Actually, Sophia Loren was the first celebrity to come out with a perfume. And it was called "Passion". When Elizabeth Taylor came out with her perfume by the same name, they had to call it "Elizabeth Taylor's Passion".

Kinda ironic how they became friends after Shirley lost to Elizabeth at the Oscars

[@jimc6054]

Shirley mentioned in the clips that they met when she was 20-21 and Liz was 22-23, which would be about 1954-55. Shirley talks about introducing Liz to Mike Todd while making "Around the World in 80 Days", which came out in 1956. Both "The Apartment" and "Butterfield 8" came out in 1960.

[@danicafilipic3121]

So what? It doesn't mean anything, it's just worldly bullshit! Friends are more valuable. It's just someone's judgement anyway on who is the best. I don't think Marilyn won any Oscar's, but who cares. She was the best and funniest, warmest sweeest

[@marjoriemargel1567]

shihlin1 I do see your point, but this was meant to be campy, not serious. Like Shirley Said “She loves to make fun of herself” That’s it. That’s the way Carrie wrote it. Those old broads were camping it up. It’s not dramatic or a melodrama, it was a joke on Their lives.

It's difficult to know who's being celebrated here - Shirley MacLaine celebrating herself - or Elizabeth Taylor.

Shirley MacLaine, another narcissistic bad Hollywood mother. Her neglect of her daughter was disgusting. Although I will always look at distaste on Elizabeth for what she did to Debbie Reynolds, at the same time I feel she was more childish than narcissistic, and didn't know any better. I can't say the same for Shirley's conduct.
