Shirley MacLaine, Warren Beatty and Acadia University

No wonder why I love the movies by Shirley MacLaine and Warren Beatty.

From NBC Extra on TV Friday night -

Shirley MacLaine was born Shirley MacLean Beaty to Virginia native Ira
Owens Beaty, an American, and Kathlyn Corinne MacLean, from Nova
Scotia, Canada. Her brother, Warren Beatty, was born on March 30,
1937.

Mother was an artist, an actress, and loved to read poetry. Her mother
was the Dean of Women at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia,
Canada. And Mother’s father was a brain surgeon (one of the best in
Canada, I’m told) and as I found out later, going through the attic
after they both had passed on, her father was a thirty-third-degree
Mason! I found newspaper articles that she had saved attesting to that
fact, but she never told me herself. Maybe she didn’t even know.
