Growing up Sachi never really got close to her famous mother as she barely saw her, though they posed together on the cover of the February 9, 1959, issue of Life. Her relationship with her father wasn’t much better either as her father was verbally abusive, calling her “the idiot” and forbidding her to read, she revealed in her Book, Lucky Me: My Life With – and Without – My Mom, Shirley MacLaine.
Sachi Parker said her parents were negligent. Narrating her lonely life growing up, she talked about how she was sent to a boarding school in Europe as a teen. Sachi recalled one Christmas, when she was 14, neither of her parents showed up to pick her up from boarding school leaving her stranded in Europe.
Hearing that she was spending Christmas alone, a classmate of Sachi’s felt bad and invited her to join their family’s getaway to Yugoslavia. She ended up staying with strangers for weeks per theVintagenews. Shirley MacLaine’s daughter said she remembers that Christmas as having been a “very scary and very painful holiday alone.”Sachi revealed that she had intentions to attend college but claimed she was financially cut off from her parents when she was 17 years old.

“She was very absent,” Shirley MacLaine’s daughter say about her during an episode of 20/20 in January 2013. “I was very lonely — very lonely. Definitely. And I still struggle with abandonment issues and loneliness.“

Before going into acting, Sachi went into various careers, she taught skiing in New Zealand, worked as a waitress in Hawaii, spent five years working as a flight attendant for Qantas Airways, and worked for a brief time as an au pair in Paris, France.
Going into acting, she landed a role that was supposed to be her big acting debut in one instance but things didn’t go as planned, and she had to leave the shoot. Sachi believes her mother interceded, pulled some strings, and had her chance at fame snuffed out.
