    She was certainly ahead of her time talking about manifesting in the 80's. And ending with "I deserve this" was brilliant. Yes she did.

      Oh grow up you. Manifesting is a LIE, PR bubble of nothingness, big wordsalad that is sold at industrial scale to naive fools like you. People don't manifest illness, war, misery, abuse, starvation... You wanna think you're in control, go ahead. Wait till life suprises you. Look around, and think how much of this is ''manifested'', did I manifest lifelong illness, tell me? Do you not realize how callous this ridiculous belief is?

Elizabeth too virtually retired before she was 50 years old

    The death scene in terms is simply one of the most amazing scenes in cinematic history. From the "look" from Debra to the background music even.

      Shirley MacLaine's character in "Terms of Endearment" was eccentric, with any number of unpredictable characteristics and foibles that had to be played convincingly. Her role as Aurora was much more of a challenge than Debra Winger's role as Emma.
      I would imagine that Shirley's brief moment with Debra as she headed to the podium to accept her Oscar was one in which she graciously acknowledged how close the vote between them must have been.
      I was surprised to recall that this was Shirley MacLaine's only Oscar for Best Actress. She certainly deserved one earlier on, particularly for her performance in "The Apartment".

    Shirley Maclaine's performance, without fail, brings me to tears. Some say 'Terms of Endearment' has not aged well, and I say they're crazy. James L. Brooks understands the human condition better than most directors.

    Shirley Maclaine’s candidness and body language clearly reminds me of Olivia Colman’s oscar acceptance speech; both were funny and animated but at the same time, truthful with what was in their minds.💐

    Being good is not the same as being nice, Shirley Maclaine moved me in this movie and I think made the movie, she if anyone 'deserved' an oscar or in this case the oscar. Whether you think her a good or bad mother or her daughter a good or bad daughter is a bit beside the point. It is not a morality contest.
