In an excerpt from her new book, The Wall of Life: Pictures and Stories from This Marvelous Lifetime, the 90-year-old Oscar winner shared that she’s met 13 US presidents, including the 45th and current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
In the book, she recalled meeting the former president “at some function” in the 1980s, noting that the whole encounter made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
MacLaine told People that she and Trump first crossed paths while she was checking out a space in Manhattan’s 666 Fifth Avenue building, a property Trump owned at the time. Back then, Trump was a real-estate mogul quickly gaining notoriety after appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show and David Letterman.
