Shirley MacLaine, 89, appears in good spirits while enjoying lunch with a friend in Malibu… weeks after receiving a lifetime achievement award

Legendary actress Shirley MacLaine appeared in good spirits while enjoying lunch with a friend at Kristy’s in Malibu on Friday afternoon, just two months after receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2023 Industry Dance Awards.

Lunching at a celebrity spot overlooking Zuma Beach, the 89-year-old Oscar winner felt cheerful as she sat outside chatting with her pal.

This is the “Terms of Endearment” star’s second trip to the popular restaurant in Malibu, where she resides when not at her ranch near Santa Fe, in less than a week.

For the casual outing, the mother-of-one wore a pair of large brown sunglasses to protect her blue eyes from the sun, a purple Malibu sweatshirt, dark jeans and red loafers.

Cheerful: Legendary actress Shirley MacLaine appeared in good spirits while enjoying lunch with a friend at Kristy’s in Malibu on Friday afternoon, just two months after receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2023 Industry Dance Awards.

Her latest appearance comes after the TV and film star was honored at the 2023 Industry Dance Awards & Cancer Benefit Show.

Although McLain, who turns 90 in April, needs a healthcare assistant these days, she doesn’t shy away from industry events or red carpets.

She was seen glowing on the red carpet at the October 19 event, where she looked as stylish as ever in a black blazer with floral embroidery, black pants and black flats.

With an extensive background in dance, McClain received the Lifetime Achievement Award during the ceremony, which was presented to her by 65-year-old actress Annette Bening.

They are actually sisters-in-law: Bening is married to McClain’s brother, 86-year-old fellow Hollywood star Warren Beatty.

After posing alone for photographers, she also snuggled up with Bening for another set of photos and again with Peter Levine, who appeared to be her date for the evening.

MacLaine’s screen career spans more than seven decades, winning her first Oscar in 1984 for her starring role in Tenderness.

Hoping to become a ballerina, MacLaine (née Shirley MacLean Beaty) began taking ballet classes when she was just three years old in 1937 to strengthen her weak ankles.

The Richmond, Virginia native eventually moved to New York City to try her hand at acting the summer before her senior year of high school, which led to her having a bit of success with the Oklahoma Choir!

After graduation, she returned to Manhattan and landed a spot in the dance ensemble of the Broadway production of the musical Me and Juliet (1953–1954) at the Majestic Theatre.

She gained fame in the films Around the World in Trouble with Harry (1955), 80 Days (1956), Some Came Running (1958), Ask Any Girl (1959), The Apartment (1960), The Children’s Hour (1961), Irma la Douce (1963) and Sweet Charity (1969).

Icon: MacLaine and her “Terms of Endearment” co-star Jack Nicholson won Oscars for their roles in the 1983 film.

Eventually, MacLaine landed one of the leading roles in the dramatic film The Turning Point (1977), which focused on the world of ballet in New York and included choreography by George Balanchine and the famous Alvin Ailey, founder of Alvin Ailey American Dance. A theater that is still operating today.

One of McClain’s most memorable performances was in 1989’s Steel Magnolias alongside Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis, Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton and Sally Field.

During her distinguished career, MacLaine was nominated for six Academy Awards: five for Best Actress and once for Best Documentary for 1976’s The Other Half of the Sky.

She also won six Golden Globes and an Emmy for Gypsy in My Soul.
