In "The Turning Point" (1977), she plays a woman whose old ballerina dreams intrude in the life of her daughter, who's also a ballerina. The woman's conflict with a friend who did become a dancer (Anne Bancroft) is the heart of the movie. MacLaine also had the lead role in the great mother-daughter relationship movie of the '80s, the soap opera "Terms of Endearment" (1983), playing a mother who has years of struggles with her feisty, ailing daughter (Debra Winger). The best mother-daughter relationship movie of the '90s is "The Joy Luck Club" (1993), about four Chinese women living in America and their difficulties in dealing with their daughters.
