Lucky Me: My Life With--and Without--My Mom, Shirley MacLaine

Sachi Parker opens up about her unconventional childhood and shares stories from her past as the only child of famed actress Shirley MacLaine.
Â
Shirley MacLaine has graced Hollywood with her talent for decades. Yet, as Sachi Parker can attest, being the daughter of a movie star was far from picture-perfect. In Lucky Me, the only child of the Academy Awardâ€“winning actress opens up about her unique experiences of growing up with a mother who believed in reincarnation and extraterrestrialsâ€”but not necessarily parenthood.
Â
Lucky Me is not only Sachiâ€™s personal story but also a compelling snapshot of America in the second half of the twentieth century, from the Rat Pack world of the â€˜60s through the free-love â€˜70s to the new-age self-absorption of the present. It offers a compelling insight into the politics of Hollywood, where the fight for the spotlight never ends and your fiercest rivals are closer than you think. There are Sachiâ€™s warm and admiring remembrances of legendary actorsâ€”Jack Nicholson, Jack Lemmon, Robert Mitchum, her uncle Warren Beattyâ€”as well as acid-sharp portraits of the schemers and buffoons who roam the hills of La-La Land.

Ultimately Lucky Me is a bittersweet love letter to a mother who is at once a universally beloved and larger-than-life figure and yet always seems beyond reach.
