Shirley MacLaine, 92, appeared in a rare video this week to honor her 1969 film "Sweet Charity." The veteran actress, sister to Warren Beatty, sent her regards to fans ahead of a screening of the musical comedy by the Southampton Playhouse.

In the clip, MacLaine, wearing glasses and a blue shirt with a red vest, expressed her desire to see the film again and reflected on the hard work involved in its production. "Between you and me, it didn’t do very well, so I hope you guys like it," she said, before sending her love to the audience.

In "Sweet Charity," MacLaine starred as Charity Hope Valentine, an optimistic dance-hall hostess in New York City navigating heartbreak in her search for true romance. The film, directed by Bob Fosse, also featured John McMartin and Chita Rivera but did not perform well at the box office.

MacLaine, who previously opened up about her longevity to People magazine, credits her lifelong dedication to dance for maintaining her vitality. She began dance training at age three and continued until she was about 67, citing it as a source of discipline, musical appreciation, teamwork, and pain management.

She also expressed gratitude for her continued ability to work in recent years, stating, "I have my friends and I am really healthy." Last year, reports indicated MacLaine was seeking an assistant who would be compensated generously and who didn't mind making a daily cocktail at 5 p.m. and sharing it with her.

It wasn't until the 1980s that she won her only Oscar in the Best Actress category for the beloved romantic dramedy Terms Of Endearment (1983), which costarred Debra Winger and Jack Nicholson - pictured 1987

MacLaine's extensive career began in 1955 with a leading role in Alfred Hitchcock's "The Trouble With Harry." Her early work also includes roles in "Oklahoma!" and "The Pajama Game" on Broadway. She received the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year – Actress for her role in "The Trouble With Harry." That same year, she appeared in Frank Tashlin's comedy "Artists And Models."

Despite a series of successful films in the 1950s and 1960s, including "Some Came Running," "The Apartment," "The Children's Hour," "Irma la Douce," and "Two Mules For Sister Sara," MacLaine received her sole Academy Award for Best Actress in 1983 for "Terms Of Endearment." The film also earned Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for Jack Nicholson.

MacLaine's later filmography includes appearances in "Bewitched" (2005), "Bernie" (2011), and "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty" (2013).
