<h2>Early Life and Family Background</h2>

<p>Shirley MacLaine was born <a href="/biography/shirley-maclaine">Shirley MacLean Beaty</a> in Richmond, Virginia. She comes from a family with a strong academic and creative background. Her mother, Kathlyn Corinne, was a drama teacher originally from Nova Scotia, Canada. Her father, Ira Owens Beaty, worked as both a psychology professor and a real estate agent, and he was also a native of Virginia. Shirley’s younger <a href="/biography/warren-beatty">brother</a>, <a href="/biography/warren-beatty">Warren Beatty</a>—born on March 30, 1937—is a respected <a href="/biography/warren-beatty">actor</a> and filmmaker. The family’s ancestry can be traced to English and Scottish roots.</p>

<h2>Early Pursuits in the Performing Arts</h2>

<p>From a young age, Shirley MacLaine displayed an interest in the performing arts. She trained in ballet at the Washington School of Ballet in Washington, D.C., where she stood out as the tallest student in her class. Her height later became both a physical distinction and a characteristic that contributed to her on-stage presence. After graduating from Washington-Lee High School, she moved to New York City to pursue a career in acting—a dream she had nurtured since childhood.</p>
