Shirley MacLaine is a Hollywood legend—the 90-year-old actress has delighted fans for decades with her singing and acting prowess, with a few of those fans being stars of the silver screen themselves.
The Academy Award winner opened up about one of those people recently, gushing about her friendship with none other than Elizabeth Taylor.

MacLaine, who has a new memoir coming out later this month, told CBS News Sunday Morning that Taylor used to come over to her home and wash her floors.
“She wanted to be a housewife,” MacLaine said about the Cleopatra star. “At least around me,” she continued before teasing that maybe the reason Taylor wanted to clean her floors was because “they were always dirty, I don’t know.”
MacLaine didn’t hold back about Taylor, sharing that she was “a magnificent human being and a very good friend. We hung out for quite a while.”

When asked what she misses most about Taylor, MacLaine said “her realness,” which prompted fans on social media to comment on her take.
“The ultimate compliment. She was REAL,” wrote one fan, while another wrote “I hope to someone I have been a magnificent and real friend.”
“This makes me happy and sad. She said her friend was magnificent! Ohh what a wonderful thing to say about a person. ♥️,” said a third fan.
The compliments also rolled in for MacLaine, with one fan writing “i love this woman. hearing her say that she misses someone’s ‘realness’ validates that even more,” and someone else commenting “Shirley is a magnificent human being as well❤️❤️❤️.”
MacLaine’s memoir, The Wall of Life: Pictures and Stories from This Marvelous Lifetime, will hit shelves on Oct. 22.
