    • 2013

      Beloved actress and bestselling author Shirley MacLaine contemplates a wealth of subjects from the mundane to the esoteric in this all-new collection of musings that begin with two simple words: What if… What if hope is the most dangerous emotion? What if a frog had wings? (Answer: He wouldn't bump his ass so much.) What if our political leaders actually led? What if Downton Abbey was full of Americans? What if, for some reason, I couldn't be creative and work? These are just a few of the 'what ifs' that Shirley MacLaine considers in her new book written in the style of her beloved and laugh-out-loud memoir I'm Over All That. In What If… she speculates on a wide range of matters, spiritual and secular, humorous and profound, earth-bound and high-flying, personal and universal. This is Shirley MacLaine at her most funny, acerbic, imaginative, and irresistible.

    • 2011

      Ab einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt in unserem Leben erkennen wir alle, was wirklich wichtig für uns ist und was einfach keine Rolle spielt. Für Shirley MacLaine ist dieser Zeitpunkt jetzt. In dieser weise, witzig und furchtlos geschriebenen Sammlung von kleinen Beobachtungen und großen philosophischen Fragen verrät sie all das, was sie in ihrem Leben, in der Liebe, zu Hause und in der großen, weiten Welt hinter sich hat. und das, was sie nie als erledigt betrachten wird, egal, wie lange sie lebt. Dabei erinnert sie sich an Erlebnisse mit echten Größen, die sie gekannt hat - Alfred Hitchcock, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, die beiden Jacks (Lemmon und Nicholson) - und sinniert über das Hollywood von gestern und heute. Und sie erinnert sich an ihre Beziehungen und Liebesaffären mit Politikern (darunter zwei Premierminister), Wissenschaftlern, Journalisten und Schauspielerkollegen.
