I also love Shirley MacLaine....she's 82 and still working as an actor.
(I used to listen to The Don & Mike Radio Show, which was syndicated across the country. - they loved to call up famous people live on the radio and "fool around" with them....I remember them once calling Shirley MacLaine, and she very politely said "Hi Don & Mike..I'm too busy to talk right now"..and Don later said.."You gotta love Shirley MacLaine, we've been calling her every year since we had this show, and she never changes her phone number.&quot

As far as Jack Lemmon...He's one of my favorite actors of all time(along with Walter Matthau & Robert Mitchum)
The Odd Couple might be the best comedy ever made.
(Based of course on Neil Simon's outstanding Broadway play)

I'll put The Shop Around the Corner on my wish list.
