Mom Tried To Sabotage Daughter

mother and daughter fighting[Blind Gossip] This actress comes from a renowned acting family. Her mom and her uncle are both famous movie stars. Both have won Academy Awards. Mom is still working, and Uncle will soon star in a big biographical pic.

The Daughter penned a memoir about her famous family a few years ago. Much of the memoir was about her doppelganger mother. It was… critical. Not “No wire hangers!” kind of critical, but still critical enough that the two stopped speaking.

Part of the criticism was that her mother tried to sabotage her career. While the daughter never achieved the fame of her mother, she was definitely a working actress with a couple of dozen credits. Interestingly, after the memoir… nothing. She never booked another job.

Coincidence? Or did her mom finally succeed?

    sachi parker-shirley maclaine’s daughter. sachi wrote a book in 2013 in which she said the actress chose her career over her daughter. uncle is warren beatty, maclaine definitely neglected her daughter with her career, globetrotting, past lives and countless lovers taking precedence over rearing her child.

    I know this. It’s Sachi Parker, whose mother is Shirley MacLaine and uncle is Warren Beatty. I’m in the process of reading her book now. It’s called “Lucky Me.” I’m about halfway through, and her Mom is a doozy, like so many other Hollywood mothers. Her mother is a classic narcissist, just like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. These are not maternal mothers.

    Daughter is Sachi Parker, Mother is Shirley MacLaine and Uncle is Warren Beatty.

    My parents and older sister were all Civil Engineers, and I chose to go into Information Technology instead. This was 30 years ago and my Mom told me that PCs were a passing fad, that I wouldn’t be able to earn enough money to support myself and to not ever come back home to live with them after I had ruined my life! Of course, I was in the right place at the right time and succeeded far beyond even my own…

    Wow, had to do a lot of Googling for this one.
    Daughter: Sachi Parker
    Mother: Shirley MacLaine
    Uncle: Warren Beatty (to play Howard Hughes in biopic)

    My parents supported me, thankfully.

    Sachi Parker Shirley Maclaines’s daughter
    Uncle Warren Beatty

    She really didn’t have much of a career before her memoir. Show biz is tough!

    Sachi Parker (59)
    Shirley MacLaine (82, born Shirley MacLean Beaty)
    Warren Beatty (79, born Henry Warren Beaty)

    I’ve always suspected that Shirley is a real witch in private; I saw her once in person years ago, and my impression was of someone who’d eat you alive for an appetizer, spit out the bones, and move on to the main course. Which is pretty much what many Hollywood actresses of that era had to be like to survive. Clint Eastwood said he was scared of her when they did a film…

  15. sanctuary says

    Yes my parents did sabotage my theater career because they were control freaks who had their idea of how one gets acting gigs vs the reality of working hard, auditioning a lot and leave me alone. They were appropriating my ambitions….omg I can’t even get into it…yikes!

    Mother – Shirley MacLaine
    Uncle – Warren Beatty
    Daughter – Sachi Parker

    Warren won for Reds–director (1981)

    Shirley won for Terms of Endearment (1983)

    On February 7, 2013, Penguin Group published Parker’s autobiography, Lucky Me: My Life With – and Without – My Mom, Shirley MacLaine.[3] MacLaine has called the book “virtually all fiction”.[4]

    First time poster! It’s Sachi Parker, she was Peggy Sue Got Married and Back to the Future…
    Her mom is Shirley MacLaine and her uncle is Warren Beatty.

    It’s sad, but Shirley is notoriously difficult to work with so it’s not entirely surprising she wouldn’t be entirely supportive of a child who grew up in an entirely different country (Japan).

    Hmmm…the only doppelganger I can see are Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn. I don’t know if she has a famous uncle.

    Neither, they let us all go whatever way we wanted and were thankful we could all make a living.

  49. SusieBoo says

    My guess based on 5 seconds of thinking and research is Sachi Parker, daughter of Shirley MacLaine, niece to Warren Beatty. She wrote a book in 2013 “Lucky Me,” about their lives. M

    My parents are dicks. I have nothing to do with them. (Although I did write a novel that had a kind of veiled portrait of the two of them in minor characters … )

    Daughter: Sachi Parker, author of the biopic: “Lucky Me”
    Mother: Shirley MacLaine
    Uncle: Warren Beatty
    My parents didn’t sabotage my chosen career, but they didn’t support me either. They were of the school that said a women lived with her parents until she was married – which simply didn’t work for me.

  74. Jester says

    Sachi Parker
    Shirley MacLaine
    Warren Beatty

    My parents were proud of us. While they didn’t encourage us into any career, they have been very happy that my sister and I have held jobs and have been responsible for paying our bills, and not asking them for money.

  78. QubbuQ says

    Daughter: Sachi Parker book: ‘Lucky Me: My Life With – and Without – My Mom, Shirley MacLaine’
    Mother: Shirley MacLaine – has denounced the book as “virtually all fiction”
    Uncle: Warren Beatty (Rules Don’t Apply- Howard Hughes [2016])
    It’s only been a few years since she released the book, and there have been other gaps in her acting career- so it’s hard to say if coincidence.
    Optional: My folks didn’t try to sabotage other than by negativity & offered no support whatsoever. peh!

  79. bostonbratt says

    Daughter I forgot her name
    Mom-Shirley McClain
    Uncle Warren Beatty

    I think the daughter is in her 50’s She was already “Hollywood” over the hill. Plus, she had steady work in 70’s 80’s but I hadn’t seen her in anything in years. So, I don’t think it was because of Shirley black listing her. Warren would have more power to do that anyway.

    I had better parents than she did by a country mile. Read an excerpt from the memoir and, if true, it sounded like selfish, crazy neglect from Shirley MacLaine.

  90. TheSalmon says

    Sachi Parker and Shirley MacLaine. Warren Beatty is the uncle.
    Honestly, who knows? I like SM but she’s always been a bit out there. I could see her maybe doing something like this. And also could just be daughter jealous that mom stayed out of it instead of “helping” more.

    My parents, mother especially, has never been anything less than my biggest cheerleader. I got really lucky.
