During an interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show, MacLaine was asked whether she was ever romantically involved with Nicholson.
"[Jack is] too much for me! No, he's too much," the Valentine's Day star retorted. "I guess I liked the dangerous chemistry if it was controllable. His isn't! He is authentically dangerous."
The pair's performances in Terms of Endearment would go on to net Oscars for both stars.
76-year-old MacLaine also denied that she was ever attracted to Jack Lemmon, with whom she starred in Academy Award-winning director Billy Wilder's critically lauded 1960 film The Apartment.
She explained: "I wasn't attracted to Jack… He was a sweetheart. He was like my Aunt Rose. He didn't have that dangerous, complicated, sexual dominating confusion that I liked helping the men I was attracted to figure out."
