IN THIS THIRD ACT OF MY LIFE, MUCH HAS BECOME CLEARER. SO MUCH IS OVER, AND I AM OVER SO MUCH . . . At a certain time in life, we all come to realize what is truly important to us and what just doesnt matter. For Shirley MacLaine, that time is now. In this wise, witty, and fearless collection of small observations and big-picture questions, she shares with readers all those things that she is over dealing with in life, in love, at home, and in the larger world . . . as well as the things she will never get over, no matter how long she lives. Among the things that Shirley is over people who repeat themselves when you didnt care what they said the first time conservatives and liberals ill-mannered young people the poison of celebrity Why do so many people want to be famous when they see how it can destroy your life? being polite to boring people If they wont stop talking, I go into a trance and meditate getting older in Hollywood How peaceful it is not to have to look particularly pretty anymore or to wear a size 6.
