“I started my dance training at age 3 and stopped at about 67. It taught me discipline, loving music, working with people and dealing with pain,” she told People.
“I have my friends, and I am really healthy,” the “Steel Magnolias” star added.

“I eat what I want, I sleep when I want,” she told People. “Not that much bothers me. I think attitudes are a choice. Anger is a choice, peace is a choice, sarcasm — which is what I’m good at — is a choice.”
MacLaine also opened up about how Hollywood has changed during a May 2024 interview with Extra’s Billy Bush.
“The glamour’s gone out of it, I’m afraid. I think it’s entirely different,” she stated. “It’s 100% different.”

MacLaine, who won the Oscar for best actress for the 1983 comedy drama “Terms of Endearment,” has not acted since the 2022 dark comedy “American Dreamer.”
She played a lonely widow trying to decide if she should sell her estate to a professor, played by “Game of Thrones” star Peter Dinklage.
That same year, she appeared in two episodes of the hit Hulu show “Only Murders in the Building.”
