Shirley (as Coco at age 70 and beyond, ca. mid 1950s) smokes cork-tipped cigarettes constantly throughout her scenes, dangling her cigarettes whenever she has anything to do with her hands. Barbara (as young Coco) emerges as a smoker about halfway through the flashback portions of the movie, and quickly evolves into a constant smoker of non-filters (true to the era), inhaling believably. |

smokingsides
A Clint Eastwood western. MacLaine is seen with a cigar three times. In the first, she is disguised in a nun's habit; she picks up a small cigar that Eastwood had thrown away, and quadruple-pumps it, followed by a long exhale and a sigh of relief. In the second, (Eastwood has learned she's really a prostitute) she plucks a cigar out of a man's mouth and smokes it. In the third, towards the end, MacLaine is taking a bath and smoking a big cigar. Eastwood gets into the tub, plucks the cigar out of her mouth, and kisses her |
