The actress in question is the legendary Mary Kay Place.
The movie and TV star was spotted making a rare outing in Los Angeles.
Mary seemed in good spirits and was seen smiling as she went about her errands.
She was dressed casually in a puffer vest and leggings, and was using a wheeled walker to help her get about.
Film fans will well remember her for starring in Private Benjamin (1980), alongside legendary actress Goldie.
However, she is also known for playing attorney Meg in 1983's The Big Chill.
But Mary's big break came a few years before, when she played country-western singer Loretta Haggers on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
She impressed so much in the role that she won the 1977 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress.
In addition to acting, Mary also wrote scripts for hit TV shows like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and MASH*.
Mary previously revealed how she had to take some time off in the early stages of her career.

Explaining the reason why, she told The Huffington Post: "Yes, that was a purposeful situation because in the late '70s I totally burned out.
"Between doing five 30-minute episodes every week for Mary Hartman, three record albums for Columbia, New York, New York and all these movies, I burnt out.
"I had no education or awareness of the need to restore. I did everything that was offered, and it was too much.

"My body just stopped and said, 'Until you learn how to say no and how to take care of yourself better, it's too much.'
"And that was a period of insanity anyway, the late '70s.
"In the '80s, I laid back completely. That was a conscious thing, definitely, because I could not continue that pace.
"It was too intense. I had some life lessons to learn. I had to go to the next level of consciousness."

Katie Price becomes first star to trademark AI version of herself as she brings back iconic alter-ego in six figure deal
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KATIE Price has become the first British star to trademark her own artificial intelligence image — and is bringing back Jordan. The 47-year-old has signed a six-figure deal with an American AI firm to resurrect her 1990s alter ego. 3 Katie Price has signed a six-figure deal with an American AI firm to resurrect her 1990s alter ego Jordan 3 Katie told The Sun: 'The Jordan days were the best days of my life' Credit: Getty 3 OhChat has produced a walking, talking, 3D version of the model As part of the deal, she was given 30 phrases to say so that the company, OhChat, could produce a walking, talking, 3D version of the pneumatic model. They include 'I like going horse riding,' and 'this week for dinner I've got beef burgers'. Katie told The Sun: 'The Jordan days were the best days of my life. 'This AI move is so clever. It's a genius move. "It's also a way for me to feel like her again. "Jordan's back and now I'm in competition with Jordan. 'I love it and they've really captured my voice and personality — you see me moving and everything. "It's scarily weird but fascinating.' The Sun gave Katie her big break in 1996 when she appeared as Jordan on Page 3. From then on she dominated lads' mags and had her first boob job at the age of 20. Katie Price sparks concern with her skinny frame as she performs on stage in tiny bodysuit She has since kept reinventing her look, reportedly having a further 16 breast surgeries — both enlargements and reductions. Katie has been teasing today's launch of her digital twin with a daily countdown on social media for the last few days. She said: 'I couldn't be more excited to bring back the iconic Jordan, someone who I hold near and dear to my heart, and who my fans have been asking to see again. 'From my digital twin's styling to its tone of voice, I wanted to be involved every step of the way to create the most authentic experience possible for my fans. 'Jordan is back, and my fans will absolutely love this.' Last night a source said: 'This is a brilliant, game-changing bit of business from Katie. 'By using AI, she can quite effectively go back in time and bring back Jordan. 'She owns her own copyright but has done a deal which means her image can be used for anything from TV shows to Only Fans — and she doesn't have to do anything, it's all done for her. 'It's incredibly canny. Carmen Electra has done it Stateside and she stands to make millions. 'The plan is to do a photo shoot, Kate standing next to Jordan, and then she's been approached to do a TV special whereby she interviews her younger self. "It's all really exciting, if a bit surreal.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.

Strictly and OnlyFans star John Whaite opens up on health struggle, saying ‘it makes life almost unbearable'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STRICTLY star John Whaite has opened up about his ADHD and said "it makes life almost unbearable". The Bake Off star, 36, shared a video on Instagram saying: "as much as my ADHD can be a superpower, sometimes it makes life confusing. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 John Whaite opened up about his ADHD battle Credit: instagram/@john_whaite 2 The Strictly star said the condition can sometimes not feel like a 'superpower' Credit: Getty "Sometimes it makes life almost unbearable. "I was promised I'd get older and wiser, but sometimes I feel like I'm just an ageing fool." ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a condition where the brain works differently to most people. John told fans in the clip: "Oh can we just talk about the reality of life with ADHD because you know a lot of the time we think we have a superpower and sometimes it can serve us very well. READ MORE ON JOHN WHAITE HAVING MY SAY John Whaite returns to social media after admitting cheating on fiancé "It can serve us in so many ways where we can fixate on things and achieve things and create things and really do the best work or something imaginable but often that's such a pyrrhic victory because we bleed ourselves dry or we exhaust ourselves in doing it or we abandon plans or friends or family and the reality of ADHD is that it can make us believe that what we're doing in life sometimes is the exactly the righteous course of action for us. "It's the right path in spite of what people who love us might say. "And then when it gets to the point where we are our interest fizzles away, the reality kicks in and we see the truth and we see the situation for what it is. "At that point we're left kind of thinking f***, I've given up so much for this. I've ignored people who love me for this. Channel 4 star John Whaite 'quits TV' after being left 'blindsided' by Steph's Packed Lunch axe "And this is really exhausting because usually the older you get the wise you get. "And while that can still be true in a situation where you have ADHD I think the reality. "As you get older you don't necessarily get wiser, you just get older and when you get older and you keep making silly little mistakes people become less tolerant of those mistakes because you're meant to be older and wiser." He added: "So much as we can say that ADHD is a superpower it is, also lets admit it concrete block around us and I think we need to acknowledge. "You know there's so much positivity, but on the flip side of it can be so crippling and so dehumanising and annoying." "If I could chose to live life neurotypically at this point in my life, I would jump at the chance and I know that's not very pro ADHD it's not very kind of holding up the flag our community but sometimes it's just exhausting, it's horrific and sometimes I f****** hate it." His fans raced to share messages of support in the comment section. One wrote: "Those who love you will always have patience and understanding. They will listen and understand when you are overwhelmed and frustrated. Asking for help is empowering." A second said: "Thank you for this. I see so many 'quirky' posts about ADHD (forgetting keys, being late) but the reality and guilt can be incredibly hard to live with. Solidarity." A third added: "Bless you John, hoping the coming days are kind to you." John has previously been honest about his diagnosis. In 2023, he explained his experiences after he was diagnosed with the condition. He explained: "I've known my behaviour over the past decade (and my thinking for the past 30-odd years) has not been 'normal'. "I've often questioned whether I have some personality disorder, deep-rooted psychological trauma, or just a brain that isn't quite wired up right." Since finding fame, John has been open about his mental health battle and previously discussed suffering from bulimia and suicidal thoughts in 2019. In 2021 he revealed on the Life On A Plate podcast how he was left feeling suicidal and quit fame to live on a farm after winning The Great British Bake Off. He returned to university after the show to do his barrister training but ended up getting pneumonia from stress - leading him to drop out of the law course. But he soon returned to public life after he was confirmed to be the first ever male celeb to be paired in a same-sex couple on Strictly.

Jake Paul calls on UFC to make stunning ‘winner-takes-all' MMA fight between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou
JAKE PAUL has challenged the UFC to accept a "winner-takes-all" fight between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou. Jones is currently the UFC heavyweight champion but appears uninterested in facing No1 contender Tom Aspinall. 3 Francis Ngannou with Jake Paul Credit: X 3 Jon Jones called to fight Ngannou Credit: Getty Ngannou walked out on the UFC in 2022 to sign with rivals the Professional Fighters League and pursue boxing. But Jones, 36, posted: "I'm hearing Francis Ngannou is still interested… now we're talking. That's a real super fight. "A clash of champions, not just hype. He held the UFC belt, I've defended mine for over a decade. Two kings from different roads. "Not just one legend facing a mouth that's hot right now, but two real legacies colliding. READ MORE IN MMA JON GONE? Jon Jones trolls Dana White and UFC fans as he finally reveals fight plans "That's the kind of fight that actually adds something special to my story. At least from my point of view." Ngannou, 38, responded: "You take care of the UFC, I'll take care of the PFL, and we'll finally find out who's the KING OF THE HEAVYWEIGHT." PFL founder Donn Davis said: "PROPOSAL … WINNER TAKE ALL MMA best heavyweight of all time. @francis_ngannou vs @JonnyBones "Francis Wins … @PFLMMA and Francis split 100% of the event profits Jon Wins … @UFC and Jon split 100% of the event profits." CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - signed to the PFL - chimed in: "The perfect final dance for the two greatest MMA heavyweights of all time. "Jon Jones wants it. Francis Ngannou wants it. Big fight for the sport. Big fight for the fans and Big business. Who doesn't want it?" Jake Paul reveals 'hefty' six-man hit-list of opponents for next fight including Anthony Joshua and world champ Ngannou left the UFC as champion to box Tyson Fury, 36, in 2023 even scoring a knockdown before losing a controversial split-decision. He was then knocked out by Anthony Joshua, 35, in 2024 and returned to MMA the same year to beat PFL's Renan Ferreira, 35. Jones meanwhile is yet to fight since beating UFC legend Stipe Miocic, 42, last November. But UFC boss Dana White talked down the chance of working with Ngannou again despite the allure of a super-fight with Jones. White said: 'It's Aspinall's fight. I mean, we've been talking to this kid about it forever and it's his fight. 'Listen, you can't make people fight, if Jon doesn't want to fight, you can't make him fight. "We can try to make him fight, we can throw things at him that inspire him to want to fight, but we'll figure it out. "I don't have Ngannou under contract and Aspinall is the guy!'
