Even though she is about to be 90 years old, she still focuses on her career as an actress, not letting anything else get in the way of her passion for acting. In a recent interview, she revealed that while turning 90 years old is indeed a big milestone, she is choosing not to have a lavish celebration for the occasion.
Instead, she once again showed her commitment to her career by sharing that on her birthday, her plans also centered around work. She said, “I’m going to be on a set,” MacLaine stated. “I’ll be in Atlantic City.”
During the interview, MacLaine revealed that working with Peter Dinklage in American Dreamer was a pleasure. She explained since it had been the first time they had worked together, she had expected some snags. However, the process was incredibly smooth. She said of it, “we really hit it off.”
The 89-year-old actress played the role of Astrid Fanelli, a wealthy widow who felt lonely. The upcoming film delves into the concept of the American dream. “I think that we should care more about what the American democracy means,” she said. “We seem to have forgotten what it means, and I think it’s time we get back into the level of reality of understanding American democracy.”
