Shirley MacLaine will be at LA Gay Center gala this weekend...

...and I will be there!

My friend, Jim Key, has invited me to the LA Gay and Lesbian Center's annual anniversary gala on Saturday and I was already looking forward to hearing Linda Ronstadt sing and seeing the fabulous Jenifer Lewis receive the Rand Schrader Distinguished Achievement Award.

Well, it has just been announced the Jenifer will get her award from...Shirley MacLaine!

I'm not into her UFO stuff etc. but Shirley MacLaine the actress, I am very into. My friend Eddie and I love doing lines from some of her movies.

Here are our faves:

From "Terms of Endearment" ...
To a hospital nurse: "Give my daughter the shooooooooot!!!!!!"

To Danny DeVito: "Why should I, why should I be happy about being a graaaandmother!"

To Jack Nicholson: "Blah, blah, blah, blaaaaaah."

From Steel Magnolias:

To Sally Field: "The only reason people are nice to me is because I have more money than God!"

To Darryl Hannah: "Who the hell are you?

To Olympia Dukakis: "Are you HIIIIIIIGH Clairee?"

From "Postcards from the Edge" ... (All lines are said to Meryl Streep's character):

"Of course in those days the material was better."

*****

"How'd you like to have Joan Crawford for a mother? Or Lana Turner?"

*****

"It twirrrrrrrrrrrlllled up!"

*****

"Do you think i should get liposuction? Right here?"

*****

"Mr. Mayer was talking to me while he was on the toilet. He wouldn't have done that to John Garfield..."

There are many more but I don't want to scare you! Anybody else have favorite Shirley lines to share?
