Maybe she didn’t use terms of endearment.
Acting legend Shirley MacLaine said in her new photo memoir that she came on to fellow Oscar winner Morgan Freeman ― and made no deep impact.
“Morgan Freeman. I propositioned him and he turned me down,” she wrote in a caption for a photo featuring the two of them, Entertainment Weekly reported Tuesday.
MacLaine’s “The Wall of Life: Pictures and Stories from this Marvelous Lifetime” came out this week.
The timing of MacLaine’s lusty proposal is not clear.
But we hope the “Million Dollar Baby” and “Driving Miss Daisy” star let her down easy.
He certainly was full of praise for MacLaine when she received the AFI Life Achievement Award in 2012.
He said at the ceremony that MacLaine “delivered as many indelible female characters as any actress who ever lived. The length and breadth of your career has been extraordinary, and the films have been timeless.”
In the new book, the “Steel Magnolias” star also reminisces about her 30-year open marriage to producer Steve Parker and her affair with actor Robert Mitchum.
“Steve wanted to know how deeply involved I was, and I wasn’t deeply involved enough to get a divorce,” she wrote, per Page Six. “And besides, there was too much that depended on our staying married. But Mitchum was a very intelligent, very interesting guy, and he was married, too.”
MacLaine, 90, previously credited the unorthodox approach to marriage for sustaining the relationship so long.
She detailed some of her sexual adventures in a 2011 interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“I’ve had an awful lot of lovers,” MacLaine said. “I’ve had three people in one day.”
But none of them were Morgan Freeman.
