Synopsis

The New York Times bestseller—now in paperback. Award-winning actress Shirley MacLaine pens the most funny, accessible, and timely book of her career, detailing all the things she’s over…and a few she’s not.

At a certain time in life, we all come to realize what is truly important to us and what just doesn’t 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; conservatives and liberals; ill-mannered young people; the poison of celebrity; being polite to boring people; and getting older in Hollywood.

As frank and personal as Nora Ephron’s I Feel Bad About My Neck—which, incidentally, Shirley doesn’t since she knows the secrets of good lighting—I’m Over All That is MacLaine at her acerbic and irreverent best.

Goodreads review by Marielle on May 10, 2011

Well, Shirley is always entertaining! And that's the thing. She's an entertainer. Her life is amazing. I loved reading what she's "over," what she's not over, and what she's semi-over. From religion to vanity, from family to exercise. From sex (she's kind of over it, but good Lord, she had enough wi......more

Goodreads review by Laurel-Rain on May 14, 2011

Shirley MacLaine has learned many lessons in her life, but probably her most all-encompassing one has been how to go out on a limb. Taking risks, expanding her awareness, traveling to the far reaches of the world (and beyond!)—These traits are all uniquely her. In her latest memoir, MacLaine shares s......more

Goodreads review by Mary on November 14, 2022

First of all, the author: Shirley MacLain is a goddess. A mesmerizing actress and an immensely talented human being. I stand in awe of her. And she’s so much more than her Hollywood persona so hooray for her. Second, the book: it’s rambling. There are some 4- and 5-star moments. Hilarious chapters a......more
