I also feel like if domeone tried to implement childcare classes parents would claim that it encourages teen pregnancy, that it's sexist to teach teenage girls how to parent, others that boys shouldn't be on those classes because that's a woman's job, and then there would be parents disagreeing with what it's actually taught there, a lot of adults outright disagree with basic parenting knowledge, like how people defend hitting children and even infants despite knowing every reputable professional advices against it and knowing it it's something frowned upon because “I was hit and I grew up fine” wich is often an indirect way of saying “My parents hit me and I love them, and I appreciate them for caring for me, so hitting can't be abusive, because bad people are abusive and I don't see my parents as bad people”.
Shirley didn't want her daughter to outshine her that's why she sabotaged Sachi's chances. You only have to look at the evidence to know that Shirley doesn't care about her daughter.
I think many people believe it was Olivia de Havilland who WON the first legal case getting freedom from contracts. Bette Davis did try to get out of her contract by working for another production company whilst under contract with another (Warner Bros.) but she LOST her case so was not free to do as she pleased, unlike Olivia.
I thought it was Marilyn Monroe: who forned Marilyn Monroe Productions: because the studio system wouldnt give her any serious roles, after Dont Bother to Knock & Niagara.
Back when I was going through my parent's things, clearing out the house to sell it, I ran into a book McClain had written in 1972 about what a wonderful place Communist China was and how we could be more like them if we tried. This was during the Cultural revolution that killed something like 60 million people, but I'm sure they treated her like royalty when she was there. I wish I had saved it as a great example of elitist Hollywood kookery. It didn't really surprise me; I had always been impressed with her acting, especially in "The Children's Hour", but what made her such a brilliant actress was her ability to realistically play characters that are becoming unhinged.
I agree with other commentators that is is about SM’s career and not her daughter. Satchi was sent to live with er father and his mistress at age two in Japan. How this girl grew up normal without turning to drugs is amazing. Both parents cut her off at 17 financially. Leaving her stranded i Europe for Christmas? Unbelievable. SM has two adult grandchildren now and will be a great-grandmother. I hope Satchi is happy now with her children who she adored.
The video title implies that it will focus on the relationship between Shirley and her daughter to prove that Shirley was Hollywood's worst mom. That's not what happened.
She said that her mom was the typical southern wife and mother. To Shirley that meant that she had to give up on her dreams. So Shirley vowed that she would never let that happen to her. Unfortunately at the expense of her daughter.
The typical southern wife and mother can also be a narcissist. A primary caregiver who is unable to return a loving, needing, gaze consistently, sincerely and affectionately will ingrain emotional damage for life. @@g.ecoleman5910
So sorry for daughter, Sachi, she’s SO pretty. Shirley Mc. definitely had all the right stuff. The whole fame & fortune thing isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be…..
Not that it's right, but that was fairly common back then. My grandfather was 5 and got polio. His family bought him a train ticket to Baton Rouge, pinned a note to his coat to deliver him to the hospital, and left him there nearly a year for treatment without visits. When his treatment was done, he was shipped back with just a telegram to tell them to pick him up. My heart breaks for that 5 yr old baby!
Wow how evil ... I feel so sorry for Shirley's daughter ... how scary for her at Age 2 deserted by her mother and actually her father to, that was not there emotionally for her (left her home alone alot in her young years
Disappointed we didn’t get more on the bad mother she was . I love Shirley and was upset when I heard some stories about her mothering skills. I thought you had more to tell .
I thought she was a decent actress, but I read her whoo whoo crazy books in the 80’s, while I was a young mother, and her treatment of her own daughter was dismal at best. She’s cuckoo, and yes, I have always known Warren Beatty is her brother, even though they look nothing alike.
Sacha Parker needed a mother, of course, but probably should thank her lucky stars Shirley MacClaine neglected and abandoned her in her childhood. Imagine a life of abuse with that horrible woman.
As interesting as this was, I feel defrauded by the fact that the title is supposed to be about Shirley’s parenting but devotes most of it to her career. Are we supposed to do the work and infer from her very busy life that she had no time for her daughter?
Look here on the tube for the ABC Network interview of the daughter and her lifelong friend with Elizabeth Vargas where you get a lot more info on the horrible parents
The fact of the matter is that Shirley spent little quality time with her daughter, especially after her daughter was sent to live in Japan. She said that her career came first, something she was intent on. Her daughter said visits between them, which were rare, were pleasant for only about four hours before Shirley became aggravated at having an intruder, i.e., her daughter. Once, Shirley locked her daughter and a friend of the daughter in the bathroom for misplacing airline tickets, thinking they cashed them in for money. For Christmas one year, Shirley forgot to pick her daughter up from boarding school in Europe. Later, Shirley refused to pay for college for her child. So, yes, listeners have to infer the reality that though Shirley had a child, most of the abbreviated time they spent together was generally unpleasant.
I've been a fan of Maclaine since the 60s but, unfortunately I think you hit the nail on the head. Another bubble burst. I can never forgive parents that abandon their children.
Women who are driven and ambitious (especially actresses) rarely seem to be good parents (especially to their daughters). For example, Shirley, Joan, and Bette, all of them estranged from their daughters. Marlene Deitrich was the rare exception: a great mother who was close to her daughter all her life.
I don't care how talented a woman is, when you have a child that should always be your main priority. Have a career, have anything you want but don't forget about parenting your child because that's the most important job in the world.
Don’t forget about her relationship with J.Z. Knight’s cult. J. Z. Knight channeled Ramtha, a 35,000 year old Warrior Spirit from Atlantis Shirley included Ramtha in one of her twelve books. So there’s that. Thank you for the video.
I still think worst mother has to go to Joan Crawford.... I do agree with Anthony Hopkins though. She is obnoxious, overbearing and annoying. She was a good actress though. I even read one of her books in my younger years and thought it was a pretentious load of cr@p! Thank you for the video validating what I already thought of her.
I've always believed Joan Crawford was the worst but a while back I saw a video of Christina and wondered if she actually was the Narscissts. It's hard to know but I saw Christina in a different light
@@ceilconstante640 more and more people have said that Christina was a vile brat. And it shows.. she's been on this "Greatest Hits" tour for 50 years!! 50 years! For someone who absolutely hated her mother she's cashed in on the Crawford name and has made a 50-year career off of slagging her mother and destroying her legacy!! If she were some nobody in Idaho no one would have given a rat's a@@. And with each new edition (there's been four now) she sh-ts out "never before mentioned" accounts of how bad mommie deareast was. And the worst part is that she waited until her mother died in order to get back at her. And how has that axe grinding worked for her? She's a miserable wreck. Slagging her mother was/is her ONLY claim to fame.
Here's some irony....I'm 53 now, but when I was in my late 20s, I would tell others that if a movie was ever made about my life, Shirley MacLaine would play as my mother. And yet, I didn't know one darn thing about the woman, other than knowing that she was quite eccentric, similar to my mom. They even looked similarly to each other. . My mother was a toxic narcissist who enjoyed pitting her children and family against each other, as she enjoyed the attention. She also preferred sons over daughters. And later in life, she cut me off, too. Because if she couldn't control you, she didn't want anything to do with you. Apparently, I didn't realize what a dead ringer that my mom was for Shirley. I don't think Shirley quite understood the reasons for reincarnation. If she did, she would have done all she could to be a good mother and not be a home wrecker, so that she doesn't get reincarnated and instead, her soul reaches Nirvana. When you're that wealthy, there's no excuse for being a crappy and distant parent.
Wow. Her suing over the contract and winning in the Supreme Court is impressive! It couldn’t have been easy to sue the studios back then. But didn’t one of the actors in Gone With the Wind sue and end their contract 20 years before?
@@ming60640yes. Olivia deHaviland was amazing. Again as 90 something just a few years ago she sued Ryan Murphy and the makers of Feud for inaccurate representation of her over how they portrayed her in their movie and fought for studios to not be able to take ‘creative interpretation’ of a living person so as to inaccurately misrepresent their likeness. Unfortunately I believe she lost which is ridiculous. She won her lawsuit against Warner Brothers back in the day though.
I met S.M. masseuse yrs. ago and she said the experience could be “challenging”. However, the gig was short lived as she was fired by S.M. when it was noticed that she was pulling the male eyes in the room toward her direction.
Shirley is a horrendous person, IMO. In my opinion she is not now nor has she ever been even aa good actress mediocre maybe, but NEVER GREAT! Not one bit surprised she was/is a lousy parent. “MY DEEPEST AND MOST SINCERE SYMPATHIES TO HER UNFORTUNATE DAUGHTER/CHILDREN”! No child deserves abuse like that.
Warren Betty was a customer of mine for a few years. He sent 2 dozen White roses in a large round bowl for every holiday and birthday. She lived in NoVa..Warren and his Mother were the most charming people 😊
You can look here on the tube and you'll find an interview with the daughter and her lifelong friend talking about the messed up parents and it's an interview on ABC with Elizabeth Vargas
If she hadn’t been a famous actress and had behaved the same she would not be thought of as a living legend. Just a selfish and neglectful unkind woman. Hope her daughter has recovered from this narcissistic abuse and has a happy life ❤
I think it hysterical that anyone would think Shirley & Warren were related, period. I was somehow always turned off by her. But then, I can’t name a movie I ever saw her in. I have only seen snippets. She & Warren obviously thought the same about relationships. The more, the merrier! I heard a story that she showed up at Dean Martin’s house unannounced. She was kinda buddy-buddy with the Rat Pack. She wanted to have a relationship with Dean. He wasn’t interested. At all. She walks into his living room with some of his kids playing on the floor & he was reading the newspaper. She got the hint & left. She typifies the line: “Gain the world, but loose your soul.” She’s very lost.
She didn't see her at Christmas , once stuck her on a plane to Japan unaccompanied at the age of 4 /5 to live with her her father ,who had the same mindset as the mother .
Not living a life of monogamy was code for not loving someone and only being married on paper. For those twenty years they rarely spent anytime together and lived apart. She spent most of her life far away from her husband and daughter.
I read Sachas book.. heartrending. She was at age six sent alone on a plane out to Japan. And she lived with her father.. a Japanese eh hem, casino boss, and his mistress... left alone for hours, she became very sad. Its a very very troubling book, Lucky Me.
Yeah! I read her book too. Used to admire S.M., saw her perform in Adelaide, that's right the 'bottom' of the world. lol Admired her until I realized she was a lot like my mum, selfish and neglectful.
Yes really clickbait give it a thumbs down but you can know more of what happened to the daughter look here on the tube for the ABC interview with Elizabeth Vargas where even the lifelong friend is there to corroborate some of her stories
I love her! She’s smart, funny, and a very talented lady ! She is always outspoken and I respect her fighting to be treated as women should be obvious , but she made it stick, and didn’t put up with much ! As an actress I can honestly say I’ll watch any movie she’s in 👍🏻
If you've never had a caring mother how do you learn to BE a mother. It can be intergenerational. Not all the blame lies with one generation. Love is learned and if you've never been shown, well.......
You could class me as one of those unloved kids and yes you, as a parent, can go one of two ways. Follow your mother’s way or be determined to change the mindset. I chose the latter and even when it was not popular to do so I stopped working to bring up my kids. It was hard after being used to two good wages coming in but the kids aren’t young for long and then they are gone. I never, ever regret leaving work to bring them up. I was determined to do the best for my children and they were my priority. I didn’t want them to suffer as I had and now have the best, kindest, decent, honest kids (adults) I could have wished for.
Having sh1tty relatives doesn't excuse anything. We all have the responsibility to break generational curses. Character comes from within. It can't be taught. You either have it or you don't.
Who's surprised? Remember a few years ago when Shirley Maclaine wrote in one of her books that the victims of the Holocaust were balancing their karmic debt? I remember thinking, "That is a vicious and cruel comment! What kind of a New Ager are you anyway?? Where's all that love and compassion yawl are supposed to exude wherever you go?? Nowhere in sight!" Frankly, there's a laundry list of stuff that she's done that is horrible. Her brother (Warren Beatty) is no different either. In his youth he treated women like trash and the guy has an ego the size of the moon. Both of them are great actors but they're NOT the kind of people you'd want for friends. I'm sorry her daughter was treated so poorly by her mother. She deserved better. :(
All women who work full time, the children loose out . And women who work full time and go to school full time, the children really loose out. Shirley McClain was just one more working Mother. I understand this completely because my mother worked full time.
The mother in The Exorcist Chris McNeil is based on her. There is a RUclips video with Macclaine where her friend William Peter Blatty locked himself in her guest room while writing the book. MacLaine and her daughter were fighting downstairs. The Exorcist is a film about a narcissist mother who feels threatened when her daughter goes through puberty
@@christinelafromboise6731 are we talking about the same movie , where the devil takes over the daughters body . Is there some hidden meaning that I am not getting?
Good god, the Exorcist is NOT about puberty! Have you SEEN the movie? To say that it’s based on the rows between Shirley and her daughter is disgusting!! I doubt very seriously that Sachi abused herself with a crucifix, called her mom a b-tch or a c-nt and shoved her mom’s face in her bleeding crotch or slapped her around while propelling her against a wall! Someone has a more perverse imagination than Pazuzu!
@@DonnaNarduccino doubt, I agree!Best actress of all time my a__, lol! They didn't even mention the daughter, acted like leaving your child behind for someone else to raise is completely normal. People are heartless and brain dead.
Always forgotten is a real cinema gem “Hot Spell”. Staring Anthony Quinn, Shirley Booth, and introducing Shirley McClaim! Thats right, her first role, and it was a doozy. The film is just marvelously rendered. Filmed in black and d white the dialogue, and interpersonal fabric is nothing short of classic. Find it and watch it if you can….
Shirleys daughter was raised by her Husband in Japan. She was sent out there to protect her from kidnapping because Frank Sinatra Jr had been kidnapped. Her husband was a conman and had Shirley convinced that he was a clone of her husband and her real husband was in space. This was a super secret government project that needed to be funded which Mc Claine did. This con man was living with his Japanese girlfriend spending all of Shirley’s money. The daughter recounts how his father and his girlfriend would fly to one American city for dinner and a European city for dessert then fly back to Japan! Shirley’s daughter went to live with her when she was 18. That is when Shirley told her how special her dad was, how he worked for the government, the space thing etc. Her daughter blew up and told her she was being conned, Shirley got mad at her daughter and wouldn’t listen. However, in a few days Shirley hired a private investigator. When she got the report back her daughter overheard her mother on the phone with her dad telling him off and saying she was going to divorce him which she did. Read the book. The neglect was from her Dad. I doubt Shirley even knew about it.
What About Shirley Cutting Her Daughter Off Financially At 17? What About Shirley Charging Her Daughter INTEREST For A Loan (To Purchase A Car)? What About Shirley SABOTAGING Her Daughter's Attempt In Trying To Be An Actress? What About Shirley REFUSING To Speak To Her Daughter For TEN Years?! If Shirley Is So Innocent, WHY Haven't She Owned Up To HER Mistakes, And Failures, As A Parent? Her Daughter Is STILL Emotionally Suffering From What BOTH Of Her SORRY Parents Did To Her, And All You Choose To Do Is Deflect Blame!? Poor Try.
Um what? It is a mothers #1 job to ALWAYS know of and ensure the well-being of their child. Geeez the horrible behavior that people try to rationalize is crazy.
@@irrelevantduckfan4413 Probably because abused & neglected children don't usually grow up to live happily ever after lives. That could be a logical reason to come to that conclusion. Just sayin
She doesn’t help her daughter. She didn’t raise her daughter. She tried to keep Hollywood for herself. Id be really nervous if I were her now. Being so close to the grave + having to reckon her decisions before being able to move on.
I wouldn't go to see a picture, because of her. I saw "Terms", because of the storyline. My sister had died around the same time, but I waited till the pain of losing her subsided, and saw it on video. The scene when her pain meds were due, and her "mother" began freaking out, was realistic, and made me remember doing the same, when my dear Mother was dying. I kept my hysterics confined to her hospital room, though.
Have to wonder, were she a man,I doubt the censure of “ being too full of herself “ would stand,not saying she was a saint,but it’s the old old hatred of a woman standing up for herself,and knowing her own value.
That Has Nothing To Do With Her Not Being Well Received By Some Of Her FEMALE Co-Stars. Just Admit It...She Was Probably Not A Nice Person To Be Around. I'm Sure The Same Could Be Said Of Some Male Actors. Stop The BS "Victimization" Of Women. It Only Makes Them Look Weak.
Nah. Once you have a child they hold a million times more value than ones self. Any man or woman who puts their "own value" first is self-centered at best and sociopathic at worst. Either way, he11 has a special spot waiting just for them.
If a master of the art such as Sir Anthony Hopkins would say what he said has definitely lead me to belive he IS MOST ASSUREDLY SPEAKS THE TRUTH HOW SCANDOULOUS
My God. Its a Witch Hunt. What awful things to say. None of you know Shirley personally and you no nothing about her. She was a beautiful women and a very talented actress!!
it's not like she is the only star to have bad parenting.... and this is not as bad as promised. added after reading some ridicule comments: she raised her child in japan. this is normal in japan. and in the 50's. period. ruclips.net/video/P7YrN8Q2PDU/видео.html
I know. I was expecting some abuse or viciousness at the very least. She wasn't great, but the daughter jumped at the chance to make money off her mother's name with a book no one really cares about now.
If you emotionally neglect your child, leave her with her verbally abusive father, and don't pick her up at Christmas so that the child has to be taken in by strangers, I'd say you're a bad parent.
@@Muirmaiden yeah, but it's your opinion, not mine. I don't think this is so bad. and actually, the daughter was raised in Japan, and in this country little children are usually left alone from a very young age (5 yo), and this is normal. Christmas wasn't a big deal in japan in that period, and today Christmas is a lover's rendez-vous, not a family one. what I mean is, her behavior is VERY CONSISTENT with the way she CHOSE to raise her daughter. IN JAPAN. not in America, or England or anywhere else where leaving a child alone and not showing up for Christmas is a big deal.
@@dianemoril7612 That's child neglect and endangerment. Neither of her parents showed up to take her home and strangers took her in. Strangers! Luckily, they were kind, but what if they weren't? As a parent, your children's safety and well-being is your top priority. Leaving them to fend for themselves and/or exposing them to potentially dangerous situations is abuse, period.
I have always like her spunk and feistiness. But.. being a single Mom who raised three kids on my own, I can never understand not helping your child or spending time with them. Leaving her alone at Christmas for example is cold and unloving. So yeah I don't see a lot of maternal love in this lady. So guess I am now less a fan.
Shirley in an interview mentioned how she was not going to end up like her mother. Shirley and Warren Beatty’s mother was an acting coach I think and she settled into being a stay at home mother to raise her kids. Instead of being grateful for that, Shirley looks down at her and decides that her family is an obstacle to her career and neglects her only daughter. That is heartbreaking and disturbing. Good for sachi for raising herself, she didn’t do too bad of a job
a good actress, ok, i'll give her that though i have not seen very many of her movies, but i do think she's a lousy human being. and i thought that about her before i knew how she treated her own daughter. so full of herself.....
I read her daughters book. Her daughter was neglected by both parents & had to fend for herself. Also, her mother's former agent told Sasha that Shirley sabotaged her acting career. There are some people that shouldn't be parents.
Just from reading Shirley's books, I never had a really good feeling about that husband in japan. It never felt like a healthy or real thing.
Out of jealousy, I wonder?
Terrible that the parents , especially Shirley MacLaine wouldn't even give their daughter money for college ... really horrible .
yep and she was one of them, a narcissist.
She is a monster, what a rotten parent.

Back when I was going through my parent's things, clearing out the house to sell it, I ran into a book McClain had written in 1972 about what a wonderful place Communist China was and how we could be more like them if we tried. This was during the Cultural revolution that killed something like 60 million people, but I'm sure they treated her like royalty when she was there. I wish I had saved it as a great example of elitist Hollywood kookery. It didn't really surprise me; I had always been impressed with her acting, especially in "The Children's Hour", but what made her such a brilliant actress was her ability to realistically play characters that are becoming unhinged.
Didn't she also proclaim to be psychic? I remember her being in talk show host monolouges as a fruitcake
Thank you for sharing!!! I met her and worked for her in 1996. Good thing Ivam a Christian because she is a WITCH!!!
Shirley seems to be interested in no one but herself,a narcissist to the core
I agree with other commentators that is is about SM’s career and not her daughter. Satchi was sent to live with er father and his mistress at age two in Japan. How this girl grew up normal without turning to drugs is amazing. Both parents cut her off at 17 financially. Leaving her stranded i Europe for Christmas? Unbelievable. SM has two adult grandchildren now and will be a great-grandmother. I hope Satchi is happy now with her children who she adored.
The video title implies that it will focus on the relationship between Shirley and her daughter to prove that Shirley was Hollywood's worst mom. That's not what happened.
@@mel2000read Sachi Parker's book for information about the type of parent she was.
So sad for the child I wonder what Shirley's mother was like to her when she was little😢
Precisely..what is not repaired, repeats. May we all learn to observe as opposed to judging.
She said that her mom was the typical southern wife and mother. To Shirley that meant that she had to give up on her dreams. So Shirley vowed that she would never let that happen to her. Unfortunately at the expense of her daughter.
The typical southern wife and mother can also be a narcissist. A primary caregiver who is unable to return a loving, needing, gaze consistently, sincerely and affectionately will ingrain emotional damage for life. @@g.ecoleman5910
If Daddy had left the kid with mom no one would have batted an eyelid.
Not if the father was the primary caregiver. But that is almost never the case for a young child. @@jeanhopman5659
I agree with Anthony Hopkins, and would like to add the word "crazy".
So sorry for daughter, Sachi, she’s SO pretty.
Shirley Mc. definitely had all the right stuff.
The whole fame & fortune thing isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be…..
Her daughter was 2 yrs old when she was sent by herself on a plane . The trip took 2 days, and the stewardess took care of her
Not that it's right, but that was fairly common back then. My grandfather was 5 and got polio. His family bought him a train ticket to Baton Rouge, pinned a note to his coat to deliver him to the hospital, and left him there nearly a year for treatment without visits. When his treatment was done, he was shipped back with just a telegram to tell them to pick him up.
My heart breaks for that 5 yr old baby!
Those poor children. 😔
Sad
Not about mother daughter. About SM career
Click bait!!! 🤮
Wow how evil ... I feel so sorry for Shirley's daughter ... how scary for her at Age 2 deserted by her mother and actually her father to, that was not there emotionally for her (left her home alone alot in her young years
Home alone at age two???
Disappointed we didn’t get more on the bad mother she was . I love Shirley and was upset when I heard some stories about her mothering skills. I thought you had more to tell .
The title would lead you to believe that.
Agree
I may have to do with Sasha still being alive
Agree
Channel the rest of the story!!
I thought she was a decent actress, but I read her whoo whoo crazy books in the 80’s, while I was a young mother, and her treatment of her own daughter was dismal at best. She’s cuckoo, and yes, I have always known Warren Beatty is her brother, even though they look nothing alike.
Sacha Parker needed a mother, of course, but probably should thank her lucky stars Shirley MacClaine neglected and abandoned her in her childhood. Imagine a life of abuse with that horrible woman.
Shes lucky that she's not in prison for her abuse of her child. Never liked her or her brother. Sickening.
She was a pretty lousy human being..period
Actually, she isn't.
@@FasterFaster196she is du_b a__!
@@FasterFaster196you think it's ok to leave your child behind, you need your a__ b__t!
Barbara I agree
As interesting as this was, I feel defrauded by the fact that the title is supposed to be about Shirley’s parenting but devotes most of it to her career. Are we supposed to do the work and infer from her very busy life that she had no time for her daughter?
Look here on the tube for the ABC Network interview of the daughter and her lifelong friend with Elizabeth Vargas where you get a lot more info on the horrible parents
💯
The fact of the matter is that Shirley spent little quality time with her daughter, especially after her daughter was sent to live in Japan. She said that her career came first, something she was intent on. Her daughter said visits between them, which were rare, were pleasant for only about four hours before Shirley became aggravated at having an intruder, i.e., her daughter. Once, Shirley locked her daughter and a friend of the daughter in the bathroom for misplacing airline tickets, thinking they cashed them in for money. For Christmas one year, Shirley forgot to pick her daughter up from boarding school in Europe. Later, Shirley refused to pay for college for her child. So, yes, listeners have to infer the reality that though Shirley had a child, most of the abbreviated time they spent together was generally unpleasant.
Another narcissist.
Exactly!!
100%
I've been a fan of Maclaine since the 60s but, unfortunately I think you hit the nail on the head. Another bubble burst. I can never forgive parents that abandon their children.
A dime a dozen, even if they think they're "special"...and they do.
Check!
I do not see her as a living legend. When you are an absentee parent you are not given prestigious titles.
Women who are driven and ambitious (especially actresses) rarely seem to be good parents (especially to their daughters). For example, Shirley, Joan, and Bette, all of them estranged from their daughters. Marlene Deitrich was the rare exception: a great mother who was close to her daughter all her life.
Joan Crawford's twin girls, Catherine and Cynthia, always spoke well of their mother. Joan liked them too.
Yeah, but Marlena's daughter, Maria Riva, wrote a book, and her upbringing wasn't as great either.
Don’t forget Mary Tyler Moore and her son Ritchie. MTM regretted the way things turned out later on.
I don't care how talented a woman is, when you have a child that should always be your main priority. Have a career, have anything you want but don't forget about parenting your child because that's the most important job in the world.
Yes and as all parents know, it is over far too quickly. Before you know it they have left home and are adults themselves!
🎯
Have you read any of Shirley’s books.?…she talks about her daughter plenty. The title of this video is ridiculous.
Don’t forget about her relationship with J.Z. Knight’s cult. J. Z. Knight channeled Ramtha, a 35,000 year old Warrior Spirit from Atlantis Shirley included Ramtha in one of her twelve books. So there’s that. Thank you for the video.
Oh yeah. I remember that. I read one of her books, "Out on a Limb", or something like that. It was absolutely ridiculous.
I still think worst mother has to go to Joan Crawford.... I do agree with Anthony Hopkins though. She is obnoxious, overbearing and annoying. She was a good actress though. I even read one of her books in my younger years and thought it was a pretentious load of cr@p! Thank you for the video validating what I already thought of her.
I've always believed Joan Crawford was the worst but a while back I saw a video of Christina and wondered if she actually was the Narscissts. It's hard to know but I saw Christina in a different light
@@ceilconstante640 more and more people have said that Christina was a vile brat. And it shows.. she's been on this "Greatest Hits" tour for 50 years!! 50 years! For someone who absolutely hated her mother she's cashed in on the Crawford name and has made a 50-year career off of slagging her mother and destroying her legacy!! If she were some nobody in Idaho no one would have given a rat's a@@. And with each new edition (there's been four now) she sh-ts out "never before mentioned" accounts of how bad mommie deareast was. And the worst part is that she waited until her mother died in order to get back at her. And how has that axe grinding worked for her? She's a miserable wreck. Slagging her mother was/is her ONLY claim to fame.
Anthony Hopkins…. Disowned his own daughter
@@katehughes1860 lots of Narscissts in entertainment. They get supply from being in the spotlight.
@@katehughes1860why? I can’t imagine doing that 😢
Being a bad mother who plays make believe in front of the camera doesn't make you a legend. It just makes you a bad mother.
Here's some irony....I'm 53 now, but when I was in my late 20s, I would tell others that if a movie was ever made about my life, Shirley MacLaine would play as my mother. And yet, I didn't know one darn thing about the woman, other than knowing that she was quite eccentric, similar to my mom. They even looked similarly to each other.
. My mother was a toxic narcissist who enjoyed pitting her children and family against each other, as she enjoyed the attention. She also preferred sons over daughters. And later in life, she cut me off, too. Because if she couldn't control you, she didn't want anything to do with you.
Apparently, I didn't realize what a dead ringer that my mom was for Shirley. I don't think Shirley quite understood the reasons for reincarnation. If she did, she would have done all she could to be a good mother and not be a home wrecker, so that she doesn't get reincarnated and instead, her soul reaches Nirvana. When you're that wealthy, there's no excuse for being a crappy and distant parent.
Wow. Her suing over the contract and winning in the Supreme Court is impressive! It couldn’t have been easy to sue the studios back then. But didn’t one of the actors in Gone With the Wind sue and end their contract 20 years before?
Yes. Olivia de Havilland sued over the contract system and won. That was in the 1940s while McClaine was a kid.
@@ming60640yes. Olivia deHaviland was amazing. Again as 90 something just a few years ago she sued Ryan Murphy and the makers of Feud for inaccurate representation of her over how they portrayed her in their movie and fought for studios to not be able to take ‘creative interpretation’ of a living person so as to inaccurately misrepresent their likeness. Unfortunately I believe she lost which is ridiculous. She won her lawsuit against Warner Brothers back in the day though.
I met S.M. masseuse yrs. ago and she said the experience could be “challenging”. However, the gig was short lived as she was fired by S.M. when it was noticed that she was pulling the male eyes in the room toward her direction.
Shirley is a horrendous person, IMO. In my opinion she is not now nor has she ever been even aa good actress mediocre maybe, but NEVER GREAT! Not one bit surprised she was/is a lousy parent. “MY DEEPEST AND MOST SINCERE SYMPATHIES TO HER UNFORTUNATE DAUGHTER/CHILDREN”! No child deserves abuse like that.
Mia Farrow is a terrible mother too.
@@UPalooza How Do You Know?
I think you're a horrendous person. Oh wait, I don't know you like you don't know McClaine... hush up.
Compared to Christina Crawford, she should consider herself lucky.
Her choices in life have been all about her, her and her again. No surprise here .
Warren Betty was a customer of mine for a few years. He sent 2 dozen White roses in a large round bowl for every holiday and birthday. She lived in NoVa..Warren and his Mother were the most charming people 😊
Lucky you. I think he's a gorgeous looking man. 😍
I like Anthony Hopkins even more now.
He wasn't great as a parent either.
I never knew she was that bad. A lot of actors put
their career ahead of their children.
Actress not actor, you're using liberalism. There's a difference and there should be.
You can look here on the tube and you'll find an interview with the daughter and her lifelong friend talking about the messed up parents and it's an interview on ABC with Elizabeth Vargas
If she hadn’t been a famous actress and had behaved the same she would not be thought of as a living legend. Just a selfish and neglectful unkind woman. Hope her daughter has recovered from this narcissistic abuse and has a happy life ❤
I also wish your video had actually been about the daughter !
How sad that she didn't get along with her own daughter.
Not taking care, not assisting, not around, not .....what a mother
My mom looked so much like Shirley that it was the most common comment she got from people.
My mum looks like her too!
I think it hysterical that anyone would think Shirley & Warren were related, period.
I was somehow always turned off by her. But then, I can’t name a movie I ever saw her in. I have only seen snippets.
She & Warren obviously thought the same about relationships. The more, the merrier!
I heard a story that she showed up at Dean Martin’s house unannounced. She was kinda buddy-buddy with the Rat Pack. She wanted to have a relationship with Dean. He wasn’t interested. At all. She walks into his living room with some of his kids playing on the floor & he was reading the newspaper. She got the hint & left.
She typifies the line:
“Gain the world, but loose your soul.”
She’s very lost.
She’s just not likeable no matter how talented she may be
She acted like soooooo many men have acted. That is all
She only wanted the best for her daughter. See you next Christmas.
She didn't see her at Christmas , once stuck her on a plane to Japan unaccompanied at the age of 4 /5 to live with her her father ,who had the same mindset as the mother .
I think the OP was using sarcasm to make your very point.
So when a couple is married, the money he makes is their money but the money she makes is her money? Got it.
SO TRUE!
You forget He was spending her money on His girlfriend. Thats different from say spending it on the mortgage....
Not living a life of monogamy was code for not loving someone and only being married on paper. For those twenty years they rarely spent anytime together and lived apart. She spent most of her life far away from her husband and daughter.
I read Sachas book.. heartrending. She was at age six sent alone on a plane out to Japan. And she lived with her father.. a Japanese eh hem, casino boss, and his mistress... left alone for hours, she became very sad. Its a very very troubling book, Lucky Me.
You need to reread the book. Sacha writes that Shirley sent her to Japan when she was 2, not 6.
I think she is a great actor and a strong woman! Unfortunately not everyone who had children, should have.
Very sad about daughter she lived with her father. I read sacchi Parker’s book. Good story. My friend met her an said she sacchi was very nice
Yeah! I read her book too. Used to admire S.M., saw her perform in Adelaide, that's right the 'bottom' of the world. lol Admired her until I realized she was a lot like my mum, selfish and neglectful.
daughter... "more about that later... MUCH later!"
Years ago, Shirley McLain visited Chicago. I saw her at a bus stop. She is a very tiny woman.😊
I hate when channels do this…title is worst mother and only one moment said anything about her daughter. Mostly just her career…ugh!
Yes really clickbait give it a thumbs down but you can know more of what happened to the daughter look here on the tube for the ABC interview with Elizabeth Vargas where even the lifelong friend is there to corroborate some of her stories
I love her! She’s smart, funny, and a very talented lady ! She is always outspoken and I respect her fighting to be treated as women should be obvious , but she made it stick, and didn’t put up with much !
As an actress I can honestly say I’ll watch any movie she’s in 👍🏻
Some people just aren't meant to be parents
Any woman who forgets and neglects their daughter is nowhere close to being a legend.
Amen to that!
If you've never had a caring mother how do you learn to BE a mother.
It can be intergenerational. Not all the blame lies with one generation. Love is learned and if you've never been shown, well.......
You could class me as one of those unloved kids and yes you, as a parent, can go one of two ways. Follow your mother’s way or be determined to change the mindset. I chose the latter and even when it was not popular to do so I stopped working to bring up my kids. It was hard after being used to two good wages coming in but the kids aren’t young for long and then they are gone. I never, ever regret leaving work to bring them up. I was determined to do the best for my children and they were my priority. I didn’t want them to suffer as I had and now have the best, kindest, decent, honest kids (adults) I could have wished for.
Having sh1tty relatives doesn't excuse anything. We all have the responsibility to break generational curses. Character comes from within. It can't be taught. You either have it or you don't.
EXACTLY.
How dare the child abuse Eg; Sending her for high school in Europe. Poor little kid.
Never liked her - always seemed very brittle.
Who's surprised? Remember a few years ago when Shirley Maclaine wrote in one of her books that the victims of the Holocaust were balancing their karmic debt? I remember thinking, "That is a vicious and cruel comment! What kind of a New Ager are you anyway?? Where's all that love and compassion yawl are supposed to exude wherever you go?? Nowhere in sight!"
Frankly, there's a laundry list of stuff that she's done that is horrible.
Her brother (Warren Beatty) is no different either. In his youth he treated women like trash and the guy has an ego the size of the moon.
Both of them are great actors but they're NOT the kind of people you'd want for friends.
I'm sorry her daughter was treated so poorly by her mother. She deserved better. :(
💎 NOTHING ELSE MATTERS, AS A PERSON, IF YOU FAIL AT BEING A PARENT 😉❣️‼️❣️‼️❣️‼️🌟
All women who work full time, the children loose out . And women who work full time and go to school full time, the children really loose out. Shirley McClain was just one more working Mother. I understand this completely because my mother worked full time.
The mother in The Exorcist Chris McNeil is based on her. There is a RUclips video with Macclaine where her friend William Peter Blatty locked himself in her guest room while writing the book. MacLaine and her daughter were fighting downstairs. The Exorcist is a film about a narcissist mother who feels threatened when her daughter goes through puberty
That’s not what exorcist is about !
Have you seen the movie? Apparently not.
@@christinelafromboise6731 are we talking about the same movie , where the devil takes over the daughters body . Is there some hidden meaning that I am not getting?
@@Hava744 A movie is not the book.
Good god, the Exorcist is NOT about puberty! Have you SEEN the movie? To say that it’s based on the rows between Shirley and her daughter is disgusting!! I doubt very seriously that Sachi abused herself with a crucifix, called her mom a b-tch or a c-nt and shoved her mom’s face in her bleeding crotch or slapped her around while propelling her against a wall! Someone has a more perverse imagination than Pazuzu!
All aside......She was one of the best actresses of all time. Famous women often sacrifice a lot and soooo much more than men.
You’re joking , right?
@@DonnaNarduccino doubt, I agree!Best actress of all time my a__, lol! They didn't even mention the daughter, acted like leaving your child behind for someone else to raise is completely normal. People are heartless and brain dead.
Always forgotten is a real cinema gem “Hot Spell”. Staring Anthony Quinn, Shirley Booth, and introducing Shirley McClaim! Thats right, her first role, and it was a doozy. The film is just marvelously rendered. Filmed in black and d white the dialogue, and interpersonal fabric is nothing short of classic. Find it and watch it if you can….
Personally, I don't like her!
This is a biography on Shirley not a talk about her mother daughter relationship. Is the title clickbait?
Shirleys daughter was raised by her Husband in Japan. She was sent
out there to protect her from kidnapping because Frank Sinatra Jr
had been kidnapped. Her husband was a conman and had Shirley
convinced that he was a clone of her husband and her real husband was in space. This was a super secret government project that needed
to be funded which Mc Claine did. This con man was living with
his Japanese girlfriend spending all of Shirley’s money. The daughter
recounts how his father and his girlfriend would fly to one American
city for dinner and a European city for dessert then fly back to Japan!
Shirley’s daughter went to live with her when she was 18. That is when
Shirley told her how special her dad was, how he worked for the government, the space thing etc. Her daughter blew up and told her
she was being conned, Shirley got mad at her daughter and wouldn’t listen. However, in a few days Shirley hired a private investigator. When she got the report back her daughter overheard her mother
on the phone with her dad telling him off and saying she was going
to divorce him which she did. Read the book. The neglect was from
her Dad. I doubt Shirley even knew about it.
What About Shirley Cutting Her Daughter Off Financially At 17? What About Shirley Charging Her Daughter INTEREST For A Loan (To Purchase A Car)? What About Shirley SABOTAGING Her Daughter's Attempt In Trying To Be An Actress? What About Shirley REFUSING To Speak To Her Daughter For TEN Years?! If Shirley Is So Innocent, WHY Haven't She Owned Up To HER Mistakes, And Failures, As A Parent? Her Daughter Is STILL Emotionally Suffering From What BOTH Of Her SORRY Parents Did To Her, And All You Choose To Do Is Deflect Blame!? Poor Try.
@rebeccalee1065 you know the daughter is still suffering? How do you know? Is she out there selling another book using her mother's fame?
Um what? It is a mothers #1 job to ALWAYS know of and ensure the well-being of their child. Geeez the horrible behavior that people try to rationalize is crazy.
@@irrelevantduckfan4413 Probably because abused & neglected children don't usually grow up to live happily ever after lives. That could be a logical reason to come to that conclusion. Just sayin
The Trouble with Harry was a lovely film.
One of my faves.
Ours too.
She doesn’t help her daughter. She didn’t raise her daughter. She tried to keep Hollywood for herself. Id be really nervous if I were her now. Being so close to the grave + having to reckon her decisions before being able to move on.
I wouldn't go to see a picture, because of her. I saw "Terms", because of the storyline. My sister had died around the same time, but I waited till the pain of losing her subsided, and saw it on video. The scene when her pain meds were due, and her "mother" began freaking out, was realistic, and made me remember doing the same, when my dear Mother was dying. I kept my hysterics confined to her hospital room, though.
I'm so disappointed 😢, I admire this actress' Talent so much. I hope they find Peace between themselves.❤
Have to wonder, were she a man,I doubt the censure of “ being too full of herself “ would stand,not saying she was a saint,but it’s the old old hatred of a woman standing up for herself,and knowing her own value.
BS
Exactly
That Has Nothing To Do With Her Not Being Well Received By Some Of Her FEMALE Co-Stars. Just Admit It...She Was Probably Not A Nice Person To Be Around. I'm Sure The Same Could Be Said Of Some Male Actors. Stop The BS "Victimization" Of Women. It Only Makes Them Look Weak.
Nah. Once you have a child they hold a million times more value than ones self. Any man or woman who puts their "own value" first is self-centered at best and sociopathic at worst. Either way, he11 has a special spot waiting just for them.
Sounds like she didn't want Hollywood to know she was a mom. Gets them over there and then leaves
Read Sachi s book.
It is bizarre.
MacLain sounds like a sociopath.
So Shirley was a negligent mother and Warren was a walking groin. Ugh.
If a master of the art such as Sir Anthony Hopkins would say what he said has definitely lead me to belive he IS MOST ASSUREDLY SPEAKS THE TRUTH HOW SCANDOULOUS
I think she shipped her off to Japan so she wouldn’t have to be a mother. Nor have competition
She hasn’t been making movies for “eight decades” that would make her 100 years old. Get your info straight
My God. Its a Witch Hunt. What awful things to say. None of you know Shirley personally and you no nothing about her. She was a beautiful women and a very talented actress!!
I never cared for that woman but couldn't pinpoint why, my mother's name is not Shirley but Damn if they didn't raise their kids the exact same way! 😕
Those small cunning eyes have always given me the chills.
Sarcastic harpy vibes.
Maybe in her next life she’ll come back as a good mother.
😂😂😂
If all this is true, she is a shameful human being, not a living legend.
it's not like she is the only star to have bad parenting.... and this is not as bad as promised.
added after reading some ridicule comments: she raised her child in japan. this is normal in japan. and in the 50's. period.
ruclips.net/video/P7YrN8Q2PDU/видео.html
I know. I was expecting some abuse or viciousness at the very least. She wasn't great, but the daughter jumped at the chance to make money off her mother's name with a book no one really cares about now.
If you emotionally neglect your child, leave her with her verbally abusive father, and don't pick her up at Christmas so that the child has to be taken in by strangers, I'd say you're a bad parent.
@@Muirmaiden yeah, but it's your opinion, not mine. I don't think this is so bad. and actually, the daughter was raised in Japan, and in this country little children are usually left alone from a very young age (5 yo), and this is normal. Christmas wasn't a big deal in japan in that period, and today Christmas is a lover's rendez-vous, not a family one. what I mean is, her behavior is VERY CONSISTENT with the way she CHOSE to raise her daughter. IN JAPAN. not in America, or England or anywhere else where leaving a child alone and not showing up for Christmas is a big deal.
@@dianemoril7612 That's child neglect and endangerment. Neither of her parents showed up to take her home and strangers took her in. Strangers! Luckily, they were kind, but what if they weren't? As a parent, your children's safety and well-being is your top priority. Leaving them to fend for themselves and/or exposing them to potentially dangerous situations is abuse, period.
@@Muirmaiden she raised her child in japan. this is normal in japan. and in the 50's. period.
ruclips.net/video/P7YrN8Q2PDU/видео.html
Wow ego over her own child!
Her career lasted 8 decades? = my foot
I was so bummed when I originally learned all this
I have always like her spunk and feistiness. But.. being a single Mom who raised three kids on my own, I can never understand not helping your child or spending time with them. Leaving her alone at Christmas for example is cold and unloving. So yeah I don't see a lot of maternal love in this lady. So guess I am now less a fan.
Shirley in an interview mentioned how she was not going to end up like her mother. Shirley and Warren Beatty’s mother was an acting coach I think and she settled into being a stay at home mother to raise her kids. Instead of being grateful for that, Shirley looks down at her and decides that her family is an obstacle to her career and neglects her only daughter. That is heartbreaking and disturbing. Good for sachi for raising herself, she didn’t do too bad of a job
Being a GOOD parent is an extremely difficult job. Very few people are actually good at it.
A terrible legend of a mother 🔥🔥🔥
Good thing she's living into the Internet age and can't really escape all the criticism she's getting online.
Shirley MacLaine has always been a weird person.
a good actress, ok, i'll give her that though i have not seen very many of her movies, but i do think she's a lousy human being. and i thought that about her before i knew how she treated her own daughter. so full of herself.....
Didn't support her daughter financially??? I guess equal rights didn't include financial.
