My family and I were spending some time at my grandparent’s house this weekend and there we were, flipping through their dish recordings. It was hour after hour of political shows, Everybody Loves Raymond, and 20/20. We landed on a little Turner Classic Movie called The Apartment. Reluctantly, I sat and watched the 1960 Academy Award winner for best picture and about ten minutes in I was in love. I was in love with Jack Lemmon's sad and lonely struggle to the top, the fast crazy office politics, and the amazing early sixties fashions all the ladies were wearing. So there I was, going along watching the movie, thinking it could never possible get any better, and enter Shirley MacLaine.
She was the cutest and spunkiest elevator girl that ever existed. Not only did I adore her short haircut, but her coats, dresses, and glove made perfect outfits. She played the perfect love stricken lonely girl, and she made you melt with her longing for love.
Here she is in all her cute glory:
