Shirley MacLaine looked in great spirits as she celebrated the 4th of July with a friend in Malibu. 

The silver screen legend, 90, was spotted having lunch at Kristy's Cafe, which is one of her regular haunts.

The Terms of Endearment actress was dressed casually but warmly for the crisp ocean breeze in grey cotton pants, a lavender t-shirt and an unzipped black hoodie.

The Oscar winner controlled her full head of snow-white hair with a light blue visor. 

As Shirley and her companion left the restaurant, the Steel Magnolias scene stealer needed some assistance walking. 

MacLaine is frequently enjoying lunch at one of the local restaurants in Malibu. 

The actress and author is known for her award-winning portrayals of quirky, strong-willed and eccentric women.

She has an oceanfront home in the coastal city of Malibu which became her full time residence when she sold her ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico for $4.2 million  last year. 

The sighting comes after Christina Applegate, 52, mentioned the Sweet Charity star on her bucket list.  

The Dead To Me star was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2021. 

'There are things I want to do with the days I have left in life,' the Married With Children star said. 

'I want to work with Shirley MacLaine,' she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). 'And do shots with Cher!'

A six-time Academy Award nominee, MacLaine won her only Oscar in the Best Actress category for her riveting performance in the comedy-drama Terms Of Endearment (1983). 

During her illustrious career she also had prominent roles in such films as The Turning Point (1977), Steel Magnolias (1989), Postcards From The Edge (1990), In Her Shoes (2005), The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty (2013), among others. 

Last year Vanity Fair called her a 'guru' and 'iconically kooky,' adding, 'MacLaine in a nutshell: A brave firebrand, a vulnerable mystic, and true earthy broad.'

Her acting career spanned seven decades beginning when director Alfred Hitchcock picked her for a role in The Trouble With Harry at the age of 19 in 1955.

She is the older sister of actor Warren Beatty, 87, and the mother of actress daughter Sachi, 67, from her marriage to businessman Steve Parker.
