On the April 11, 2011 Oprah show, Shirley MacLaine spoke of buying Vera Zorina's last home, the residence in which Shirley now lives. She told Oprah that upon first visiting the home, not knowing who had lived there, she got a psychic impression that a dancer had died on the staircase, and the dancer now wanted Shirley to buy the home. Shirley was so moved by the impression that she bought the home without seeing all of the house. Only later did she learn the identity of the dancer.
