In a recent interview with PEOPLE, acclaimed French actress Juliette Binoche expressed her sheer delight when she had the opportunity to meet and spend quality time with one of her idols, Shirley MacLaine. Sharing a publicist and agent, it was a relatively easy task for Binoche to arrange a lunch meeting with the iconic actress, during which they engaged in captivating conversations about life.
Binoche, who is known for her diverse portfolio of work and her Academy Award-winning performance in 'The English Patient,' has long admired MacLaine. From her unforgettable roles in films like 'The Apartment,' 'Irma la Douce,' and 'Terms of Endearment,' Binoche has always seen MacLaine as a free-spirited, witty, and energetic figure.
