Nominations for the Foreign Journalists Associations Award in Hollywood, the popular Golden Globe have just been published. The prestigious Awards are awarded in categories – movies in cinemas and for TV production.

Among nominees for the main female role in TV or short series was Shirley MacLaine for her role in TV movie Coco Chanel produced by Lifetime Channel.

Shirley MacLaine herself says she has many similarities to famous fashion designer: ”We are both very lively, simple and spontaneous.” It is interesting that actress Audrey Hepburn suggested 40 years ago that McLaine should act the famous fashion designer: ”I have always denied it since Coco Chanel was short and I was not. It is obvious that Audrey was right, and I took the role several years afterwards.”

This is one in a line of movies on Coco Chanel. ‘Coco avant Chanel’ will appear next year worldwide, a movie in which Audrey Tautou will act the famous creator. Tautou will also be the new advertising face for perfume Chanel 5. You can read more about it in Fragrantica’s article Coco before Chanel.
