Shirley MacLaine has a laugh with friends while enjoying lunch in Malibu

Shirley MacLaine's 90th birthday is just days away, and as these exclusive DailyMail.com photos reveal, she shows no signs of slowing down.

On Wednesday, the 89-year-old Oscar-winning actress held court on the patio of Kristy's Malibu restaurant near Zuma Beach, California.

Her animated laugh could be heard echoing across the courtyard as her female assistant and two male friends entertained her.

She could be seen throwing her head back and relishing the fun conversation.

The sighting came just days before the Oscar winner celebrates her 90th birthday on April 24

Animal lover Shirley had a keen eye for any dog that walked by their table, asking the owners questions and wanting to see their precious pooches better. 

It was obvious that the actress is a regular patron of Kristy's, as a female employee came out at the end of the meal and stood behind her giving a little massage.

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's pictured in 1957

As the group prepared to leave, they were met by fellow restaurant patron, model Angelique 'Frenchy' Morgan, 48, best known for her turns on reality shows Big Brother UK and VH1's Rock of Love Season 2 in 2008.

'I had come from the beach to get something to eat,' Frenchy later told DailyMail.com in her thick French accent. 

'I couldn't believe it was her! I waited until they were done and just went up and said I'm such a fan and could I have a photo? Shirley looked me up and down and told me ''I love your pink [outfit]!'' So I told her, I love yours too!' and pointed to her pink pants and sneakers.'

The Postcards From The Edge and Terms Of Endearment star wore a cozy striped orange, brown and red sweater with a red fleece over it, and carried her iPhone in a small Coach canvas pouch.

Shirley's assistant made sure the actress didn't fall, holding onto her tightly as she crossed the center of the plaza.

Another fan told Shirley as she was leaving, 'You look great!'

She wryly shot back with a smile, 'Hey, I had two vodka martinis at lunch!'

Last year she sold her $4.3million ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico, to live full time at her oceanfront home in Malibu.

The real estate listing for the Santa Fe property described its famous owner as, 'An American Icon, renowned for playing loveable, quirky characters and who is known for her books on such topics as reincarnation and metaphysics.'

Indeed, MacLaine has written that in her past lives she was a harem girl in Turkey, an androgynous being in the mythical nation of Lemuria, a Muslim refugee in Spain and more.

Last year Vanity Fair hailed her as a 'guru' and 'iconically kooky', '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.
