Her brother, Warren Beatty, was born on March 30, 1937. Her ancestry includes English and Scottish.Shirley was the tallest in her ballet classes at the Washington School of Ballet. Just after she graduated from Washington-Lee High School, she packed her bags and headed for New York. While auditioning for Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein IIs Me and Juliet, the producer kept mispronouncing her name. She then changed her name from Shirley MacLean Beaty to Shirley MacLaine. She later had a role in The Pajama Game, as a member of the chorus and understudy to Carol Haney. A few months into the run, Shirley was going to leave the show for the lead role in Can-Can but ended up filling in for Haney, who had broken her ankle and could not perform.

She then took roles in Goracy czar (1958) and W 80 dni dookola swiata (1956), completed not too long before her daughter, Sachi Parker (born Stephanie), was born. With Shirleys career on track, she played one of her most challenging roles: Ginny Moorhead in Dlugi tydzien w Parkman (1958), for which she received her first Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. She went on to do Jeden przeciw wszystkim (1958) and Swatka (1958). In 1960, she got her second Academy Award nomination for Garsoniera (1960).
