Shirley MacLaine’s daughter, Sachi Parker has written a memoir about growing up with the legendary actress. Her roller coaster saga began when she was sent to live with her father, Steve Parker in Japan. The book goes onto to recount an often difficult and painful relationship with both parents.

When Sachi was in her late twenties, she learned that her mother believed that her father Steve was not her real father but a clone of the real one, an astronaut named Paul. For years Steve had conned MacLaine into paying him up to $60,000 a month for “Paul’s space travel expenses.”
