The 91-year-old Hollywood veteran gushed over working with the seasoned actress on 2005’s Rumor Has It.<\/p>\n “I just wanted to tell you Jen, I’ll never forget how professional you were,” MacLaine said in a recorded video played on-air. “You were really wonderful to work with.”<\/p>\n Clips and short videos of the segment have been shared widely by the show and entertainment outlets.

Photo coverage from the premiere documented her classic, minimalist black looks earlier in the week, while lifestyle outlets pointed to separate, more casual outings, one of which the We’re The Millers actress was captured in a semi-sheer, vibrant purple slip dress.<\/p>\n Related: Jennifer Aniston Has a Very Specific Rule About ’90s Fashion: ‘I Draw the Line’ at This Trend<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 12, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
