Early life and education

Named after child actress Shirley Temple, who was six years old at the time, Shirley MacLean Beaty was born on April 24, 1934, in Richmond, Virginia. Her father, Ira Owens Beaty, was a professor of psychology, a public school administrator, and a real estate agent. Her Canadian mother, Kathlyn Corinne (née MacLean), was a drama teacher from Wolfville, Nova Scotia. MacLaine's younger brother is filmmaker Warren Beatty, who changed the spelling of his surname for his career. Both were raised by their parents as Baptists. Her mother's brother-in-law was A. A. MacLeod, a member of the Ontario provincial legislature for the Communist Party in the 1940s.

While MacLaine was still a child, Ira Beaty moved the family from Richmond to Norfolk, Virginia, and then to Arlington, then to Waverly, and finally back to Arlington—where he worked at Thomas Jefferson Junior High School in Arlington—in 1945.

As a toddler, she had weak ankles and fell over with the slightest misstep, so her mother enrolled her in ballet class at the Washington School of Ballet at the age of three. This was the beginning of her interest in performing. Strongly motivated by ballet, she never missed a class. In classical romantic pieces such as Romeo and Juliet and The Sleeping Beauty, she always played the boys' roles because she was the tallest in the groups of girls. MacLaine eventually was cast in a substantial female role as the fairy godmother in Cinderella and, while warming up backstage, broke her ankle. She tightened the ribbons on her pointe shoes and completed the entire performance before calling for an ambulance.
