Although others have talked about the ghetto as a term of endearment, kinship and empowerment — Langston Hughes's 220 poem "Negro Ghetto," or Pras's 1998 hip-hop anthem "Ghetto Supastar" — the tally of negative uses divorced from historical context has grown so commonplace that some big-city politicians and leading academics have called for removing it from official use.

A 60-year veteran of film and television, Ms. MacLaine first captivated audiences as a winsome elevator operator in the 1960 film "The Apartment"; touched hearts in "The Turning Point," about an emotional rivalry in the world of ballet; won an Oscar for "Terms of Endearment," the 1983 chronicle of a spiky mother-daughter relationship; and resurfaced more recently on "Downton Abbey" as a waspish, disconcertingly progressive American dowager, a role that reignited her career.
