Veteran actress Shirley MacLaine has blasted movie marketing bosses for failing to include her in promotional posters for new film Valentine's Day.

Early prints of flyers for the movie featured a series of pictures of the cast - but MacLaine and her co-star Hector Elizondo were not included.

A second design was then drawn up which included the pair - and MacLaine is baffled why they were left off the original.

She tells Dutch TV network RTL Boulevard, "We both complained. We don't know why we're not on it, frankly... I have no idea. I think its age discrimination. I really do. Marketing runs the town. I think its p**sed!"
