MacLaine starred in the 1969 musical comedy as Charity Hope Valentine, a taxi dancer at a Times Square dance hall.
Though the Bob Fosse-directed film was released to mixed reviews from critics, it was nominated for three Academy Awards: Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design and Best Score of a Musical Picture.
MacLaine’s role was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy and a Laurel Award for top female comedy performance.
The “Terms of Endearment” star was last seen in April, days before her 92nd birthday, while leaving lunch in Malibu, California.
At the time, MacLaine held on to a companion’s arm as she exited the restaurant.
And in March, the Golden Globe winner was snapped enjoying a plate of oysters and a beer in Malibu.
MacLaine previously credited her longevity to her long dance history.
“I started my dance training at age 3 and stopped at about 67,” she told People in April 2024. “It taught me discipline, loving music, working with people and dealing with pain.”
