When MacLaine first started appearing in movies — The Trouble with Harry, The Apartment, Ask Any Girl — she played women who were pixy-cute, smart as a tack, with an air of eminently sensible mischief that got into men's heads like fairy dust, or snuff. She was irresistable. All of today's kooks — from Geena Davies through to Zooey Deschanel — are as copies to a master. That she got kookier with old age only adds to her charm. She needs as many lives as she can get.
