A TOP TV actress looked completely unrecognisable after snubbing her co-stars at their Emmys reunion earlier this month.
The comedy sitcom favourite, 74, wrapped up in a black coat and blue roll-neck sweater as they took a stroll in the winter sunshine.
Shelley Long played Diane Chambers in the long-running American series Cheers, with her waitress character quitting at the end of season five.
She scooped two Golden Globes and an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series in 1983.
The Indiana-born star has received five Emmy nominations in total - yet that wasn't enough to encourage her to attend the recent star-studded ceremony with her former colleagues.
Instead, Shelley, who also more recently had a recurring role in hit sitcom Modern Family, was seen enjoying some fresh air as she took her dog for a walk.

Shelley padded around in comfy trainers and looked deep in thought as she made her way down the street.
She left her white hair in a poker straight style and wore chunky black square-frame glasses.
Meanwhile, a handful of her telly co-stars enjoyed a catch-up in California earlier this month.
Kelsey Grammer, Rhea Perlman, John Ratzenberger and Ted Danson took to the stage at the Peacock Theatre to present two awards.
Along with Shelley, actor Woody Harrelson decided to swerve the show.
Cheers as a series scooped a whopping 117 Emmy nominations across its 11 series.
When the show aired, viewers were glued to Shelley's character's intense connection with playboy bar owner Sam Malone and their consequent on-off relationship.
Her final scenes in season five saw her postpone her wedding to Sam as she followed her dreams of becoming a published author.
Show bosses didn't kill off her character - therefore leaving scope for her return - yet Shelley decided to keep her final scenes as they were.
Previously, she has denied any fights with Ted Danson, who played Sam, yet admitted he got frustrated with her.
She told The Sun Sentinel: "We never fought. Maybe we should have.
"I mean, he got angry once, pretty late in the game about something that I wish he had told me about long before, because I made every effort to change it.
"And I think I did a pretty good job, although maybe it wasn’t good enough for him."
Shelley told the same interview how Ted's gripes centred on her tardiness and inability to get to the set on-time.
She added: "I ate more hair in those days because I would have my dinner while it was being done.
"I did all of this after Ted made his suggestion."
She then added: "I liked Ted and I still like Ted."
