"I was in the chorus a long time, & in the chorus you don’t do things to stand out, you do things to keep your job. That’s the way I think, & that’s why I’m still working."

Shirley MacLaine gets dressed in a bat costume on the set of Artists & Models, directed by Frank Tashlin. A great shot by Loomis Dean for Life magazine, 1955

Shirley Maclaine & Jack Lemmon in The Apartment, 1960. One of my favourite Billy Wilder films. Heck, it's one of my favourite films!
The still photographer on the set was Jack Harris.
