The Apartment: According to Shirley MacLaine, much of the movie was written as filming progressed. The gin rummy game was added because at the time she was learning how to play the game from her friends in the Rat Pack. Likewise, when she started philosophizing about love during a lunch break one day, this was also added to the script:
”[…] It was different because on The Apartment, we only had 29 pages of script, and what he [Billy] did was wait to see how the relationship and the chemistry and all that between Jack and me would develop, and then he wrote it accordingly. Actually, he put the gin scene in, where we were playing cards, because he knew I was playing gin with Dean and Frank all the time”.
oh mah gah, there are some films that just leave me bursting with feeling, and this is one of them. I love this story because they just happened upon a brilliant part of the film and it honestly wouldn’t have happened if they had different casting. I love when things just come together like that.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4gut9jsc61qefgdko1_500.jpg)

I will always reblog this. Just a pure, simple, sad, beautiful moment.

As we posted earlier, it’s Barbra Streisand’s birthday… But guess what? It’s also Shirley MacLaine’s birthday today as well.
Happy Birthday, Shirley. Here she is pictured with her daughter Sachi Parker pouting with pearls on head in 1959. How adorable.
