A Milestone Celebration
Turning 90 is undeniably significant, but MacLaine has never been one for extravagance. In a recent interview, she revealed that her birthday plans will revolve around her passion for acting. Instead of a lavish celebration, she will be on set, working on a new project in Atlantic City.
