Shirley MacLaine
David Letterman did not enjoy a visit by Shirley MacLaine, and, by the end of the interview, neither did the Oscar-winning actress. She was there for a new movie called “Madame Sousatzka .”
At first, the host who was previously, in 1986, called the A-word by Cher, was hamming it up. He quizzed MacLaine relentlessly about her theories and beliefs in past lives. She didn’t want to talk about it. Finally, she blurted out that Cher was right to call him the A-word. It went downhill from there. He ended it with the standard, “Oh, darn, we’re out of time.”
