Shirley MacLaine recalls meeting Donald Trump in the '80s: 'I could see he was undressing himself and me'

MacLaine dishes on all the presidents she's met (13 in total) in her new memoir.

Shirley MacLaine revealed in her new memoir, The Wall of Life, that she's met 13 of the last 14 presidents of the United States, but there's one meeting she wishes she could take back.

"There was a vacant apartment in that building," she told PEOPLE, in reference to 666 Fifth Avenue, an apartment building owned by Donald Trump in the 1980s. "I went up to look at it, and walked in because I knew it was available, and he was there. We met in a room where no one else was. In his head, I could see he was undressing himself and me, and I got out of there very fast. Didn't take the apartment either - and it was too expensive."

MacLaine has weathered her fair share of uncomfortable presidential moments - according to her memoir she actually performed at John F. Kennedy's birthday bash in 1962, where Marilyn Monroe famously serenaded the Prince of Camelot with a sexy rendition of "Happy Birthday." But the Trump run-in was a bridge too far.

Of the last 14 presidents, the only president she missed the opportunity to meet was Richard Nixon. "I never encountered Nixon," she wrote in The Wall of Life. "I thought he was ridiculous and wouldn't want to have met him."

Elsewhere in The Wall of Life, MacLaine wrote under a picture of her with God himself, "Morgan Freeman. I propositioned him and he turned me down." She also shared that she turned down the role of Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's, a role that would win Audrey Hepburn an Academy Award nomination and transform her into a star.

"In 1961, they offered me the role of Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s," she wrote, "but I turned it down because I didn’t want to have to worry about my weight to be able to wear all those outfits and do all those fittings... I legendarily hated fittings. I also didn’t think it was a very good script."

Among other things, Trump is currently in the midst of litigating his own Hollywood drama in the court of social media. The former president was recently given the big-screen treatment in Ali Abbasi's Cannes-competitor The Apprentice. Sebastian Stan plays a young Trump rising to power in the New York real estate world under the lascivious mentorship of pugnacious power broker Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong).

When Trump called the film a "cheap, defamatory, and politically disgusting hatchet job" that "will hopefully 'bomb'" on Truth Social earlier this month, Abbasi responded, "I am available to talk further if you want. Today is a tight day w a lot of press for [The Apprentice] but i might be able to give you a call tomorrow."
