Shirley MacLaine is 90! The legendary Oscar winner lunches in Malibu while ... trends now
The legendary Shirley MacLaine kicked off her 90th birthday celebrations on Thursday with a dressed-down lunch at Kristy's Village Cafe, which overlooks Broad Beach, not far from her longtime Malibu home.
The eccentric Oscar winner was sporting a $29.99 GRIND '3D Distressed Hat' over her white hair and she wore black round glasses over her makeup-free complexion.
'I have my friends and I am really healthy,' Shirley declared to People on Wednesday.
'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.'
MacLaine (born MacLean Beaty) was joined by a blonde female companion ahead of her intimate birthday dinner with friends: 'We're getting together and I hope to eat something good.'

The Only Murders in the Building guest star just announced that Crown will publish her 288-page memoir The Wall of Life: Pictures and Stories from This Marvelous Lifetime on October 22.
'I have lived a wonderful life and I wanted to share it. All of the photos brought back such wonderful memories,' Shirley said.
'About 45 years ago, I put 10 or so framed photographs of friends and family and people I've worked with all grouped together on a living room wall. Everyone who came over loved to look at this montage, and so The Wall of Life was born. I'm pleased to share a selection of these photos — and some of the stories behind them — in this book.'
The $35 book will include stories from MacLaine's seven-decade career, advice to Elvis Presley, insight into Jack Nicholson and the Dalai Lama, as well as her childhood growing up alongside big brother Warren Beatty.
The Virginia-born redhead moved to New York City at age 16 in 1950 and she got her big break in 1954 as a stand-in in Broadway's The Pajama Game before landing roles in Alfred Hitchcock's 1955 comedy The Trouble with Harry and Billy Wilder's 1960 rom-com The Apartment.
After earning five Academy Award nominations, Shirley finally won Oscar gold for her searing portrayal of Houston socialite Aurora Greenway, whose daughter battles cancer, in James L. Brooks' 1983 dramedy Terms of Endearment.
MacLaine is also famed for her performances in Sweet Charity (1969), The Turning Point (1977), Steel Magnolias (1989), Postcards from the Edge (1990), etc.
