Shirley MacLaine may just a have term of endearment for her favorite café.
After all, the 91-year-old stepped out twice over Thanksgiving weekend for a meal at Kristy's Village Cafe in Malibu, Calif.
For her first outing at the restaurant on Nov. 25, Shirley wore a navy sweatshirt and matching shirt, paired with black pants, a wide-brimmed sun hat and sunglasses, and sipped on an orange cocktail while she dined al fresco. Four days later, on Nov. 29, the Oscar winner sported a similar outfit as she enjoyed a cocktail and a meal with a companion.
While the Steel Magnolias star largely stepped out of the public eye, she has occasionally appeared, including during her reunion with People Not Places costar Stephen Dorff at the Sunset Bar and Grill over the summer.
Then, of course, there’s glamorous evenings that she’s turned into a family affair, as she joined sister-in-law Annette Bening—who is married to her brother Warren Beatty—at the Industry Dance Awards in Hollywood back in 2023.
And after all these years, her passion for dance still shines through. Indeed, the Terms of Endearment alum previously credited her decades as a dancer as the secret to her longevity.
"I started my dance training at age three and stopped at about 67," Shirley told People in 2024. "It taught me discipline, loving music, working with people and dealing with pain."
It’s that and the occasional role, like her 2022 appearance on Only Murders in the Building.
Shirley emphasized that she's grateful she can "keep working," adding, "I have my friends and I am really healthy."
That said, she is also not afraid of death. "I'm kind of interested in going there," she said on CBS Sunday Morning in 2024. "I'm looking forward to being part of the Heaven experience. I really am."
