Shirley MacLaine, who had been with ICM Partners for more than a decade, has left the agency to sign with CAA. The actress-author, one of the longest working actors in Hollywood, just had her latest movie premiere at the Sundance Film Festival: The Last Word, a comedy that also stars Amanda Seyfried and was directed by Arlington Road helmer Mark Pellington. That one opens in theaters March 3.
The move to CAA from her longtime agent comes as a surprise, though Jack Gilardi - who repped her for 15 years at ICM (now ICM Partners) - took it in stride, telling Deadline: "She's a great lady and a wonderful artist, and I wish her only the best. I love her."
