Shirley MacLaine is making a very rare appearance.
The 92-year-old Oscar winner appears in a video for the Southampton Playhouse, ahead of a planned screening of Sweet Charity on Tuesday (August 25).
What Did Shirley MacLaine Say About Sweet Charity?
“Wish I could be with you,” she says in the sweet video message.
“I would like to see Sweet Charity again.”

The 1969 film adaptation, directed by Bob Fosse, was indeed a major box office bomb: it cost an estimated $20 million to make and grossed only about $8 million during its theatrical run, resulting in a loss for Universal Pictures.
“Today it seems ahead of its time with startling cinematic effects that literally make the camera one of the dancers,” TCM notes.
When Did Shirley MacLaine Last Appear in Public?
After a career spanning over 70 years, Shirley has been enjoying life out of the spotlight in recent years.
Her last appearance was last year at the inaugural Dance Hall of Fame induction ceremony, where she received a Lifetime Achievement Award, named after herself in her honor.
Her last acting roles were in 2022 when she appeared in Season 2 of Only Murders in the Building. That same year, she starred alongside Peter Dinklage in the comedy film American Dreamer.
She also made a rare public outing for lunch back in November.
