She may have hung up her lifeguard gear in the early 90s, but Marley Shelton is still turning heads three decades later in a public outing.
The now 50-year-old, who rocked big screens in the iconic baseball film The Sandlot, was spotted running errands in Los Angeles – and she looked unrecognizable, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Marley Shelton played Wendy Peffercorn in 'The Sandlot.'
Shelton rocked a white blouse and blue jeans that put her curves on display during her outing. She topped it all off with gold chain necklaces that rested on her chest, as well as a pair of white sneakers.
At one point, the actress spoke on her cellphone as her blonde hair waved around her face.
Shelton decided to go the fresh-faced look, appearing to bail on any makeup as she went forward with her day, a big difference from one of her most memorable characters, lifeguard Wendy Peffercorn in the 1993 coming of age movie.
The now 50-year-old flaunted her impressive curves in skintight jeans.
"Still a beautiful lady!" one fan gushed in reaction to the new photos, and another one added: "A total babe."
One user said: "She literally looks the same. Very pretty and very natural."
In a memorable scene from The Sandlot, Shelton's character is giving CPR to Michael 'Squints' Palledorous (played by Chauncey Leopardi) at a local pool when he suddenly goes in for a kiss.
The decision leads to Palledorous getting booted from the pool, however, the pair eventually get married and "have nine kids."
Shelton was taken aback by the film's success, as it has been beloved for years and is still quoted today.
"I’m shocked! Initially, people liked the movie but nobody thought it was going to have the legs that it did and become this cult classic," Shelton said in 2018.
She continued: "I think it had something to do with it being this very coming of age story. It’s such a fun movie – there are so many great throwback moments. I think it’s still relatable.
"Something about baseball and adolescence and that simpler time in life, I think people really relate to.”
The actress went the fresh-faced route during her outing in Los Angeles.
Shelton – who also had memorable roles in the Scream franchise, Never Been Kissed, Planet Terror, and Rampage – still can't get over how many people recognize her for her Sandlot role.
The movie star said: "I’m always so flattered when people recognize me from it because it was 25 years ago! I’m like, ‘Wow thanks, I’m glad you recognize me as Wendy Peffercorn.'
"I love when we get sent pictures of people dressing up as them for Halloween. It’s such a riot. There are some great costumes out there that probably rival the original.”

She added: "Online, my husband found someone who made a whole clothing line. They printed fabric with Wendy in the bathing suit. He bought one online to tease me and wore it to my birthday party.”
