Shirley MacLaine was seen enjoying a sunny outing in Malibu over the weekend, making a rare public appearance just days before her 92nd birthday. The Oscar-winning actress, 91, stepped out for lunch on Saturday, dressed in a cosy brown cardigan, matching top and grey sweatpants, embracing a low-key, comfortable style.
In candid moments captured outside the eatery, MacLaine was seen leaning gently on an aide for support as she navigated the outdoor seating area. Despite her increasingly rare public appearances, she appeared in good spirits, taking in the laid-back Malibu atmosphere where she continues to live when not at her ranch in New Mexico.
The outing comes ahead of her birthday on April 24 and marks one of the few times the star has been photographed in recent months. She was last seen in January dining at celebrity hotspot Nobu. MacLaine's career spans nearly seven decades, from her breakout role in Alfred Hitchcock's 1955 black comedy The Trouble With Harry to winning the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1983 for Terms of Endearment.
MacLaine, older sister of Warren Beatty, credits her longevity to the discipline instilled by her early years as a dancer. 'I started my dance training at age three and stopped at about 67. It taught me discipline, loving music, working with people and dealing with pain,' she told People. She continues to work, with recent roles in Only Murders in the Building and American Dreamers.
