With her short red hair, expressive face, vitality, and playful acting style, Shirley MacLaine stands out in the Hollywood pantheon. Driven by a volcanic personality and iron discipline inherited from classical dance, she has constantly reinvented herself, from the girl next door to the eccentric old lady she plays on screen today, proving at 91 that there is a place for actresses of all ages. A refreshing portrait featuring film clips and archival footage, particularly those in which this talk show regular exercises her sharp wit.

Sep 20, 2025

This meteoric rise made him an instant icon, frozen in eternal, rebellious youth, which still resonates strongly today.

The Sea Stares at Us from Afar

Jan 19, 2018

Huelva, Spain, an isolated region lost in time.
