Dance while you can

wonderful book ..shirly maclaine, her life is a rollar coaster of experience all rolled into one lifetime..can't keep up with her, but love her.

Delightful journey to the heart of showbusiness

I loved this book and warmly recommend it to anyone interested in Shirley Maclaine's life. Maclaine proves an engaging and entertaining narrator, her writing spilling over with wit and charm in equal helpings. The book was written after her Oscar win in 1983 and she tells the story of her route from childhood ballet classes to musical theatre and eventually to screen stardom. Much of the book deals with her relationship with her parents and the part they played in her journey. They come across as complicated and somewhat vulnerable characters who seem frustrated that they didn't pursue their own artistic ambitions with the same single-mindedness as their daughter. Overall, it's a great feel-good book bursting with plenty of spark and fun.

It's Great!!

This is Shirley's best book right next to My Lucky Stars and Dancing In The Light. You really understand what her life was like with her parents, and now, without them, just to hear about them is amazing. I gurantee this book will catch any new Shirley fan's attention.

Shirley will dance forever

As usual, Shirley weaves her wonderful thoughts about life throughout the book. It's an inspiring book about what it's like to get older and how it effected Shirley's life. I especially liked the parts about her daughter as she isn't mentioned much in the other books. I would love to hear from any one interested in Shirley and what she has to say.
