“She stole the heart of a true Hollywood legend with her bombshell looks and went on to get three Oscar nominations of her own. ”, — write: www.dailymail.co.uk
After landing her Oscar-nominated role alongside Natalie Wood she went on to turn heads again years later in a hit Warren Beatty movie.
The former model and actress, now age 88, was once a silver screen siren known just as much for her beauty and long list of admirers.
She went on to marry second husband Stanley Fimberg in 1985 but also had high profile relationships with Johnny Carson and TV’s original Tarzan, Ron Ely.
Now 88, she no longer does much film work but still makes headlines for her public appearances such as sitting courtside at an LA Lakers game, and more recently, admitting she still has a very active romantic life.
Can you guess who it is?
It’s Dyan Cannon!
The Hollywood icon was seen taking her dogs for a walk around her LA neighborhood, in exclusive Daily Mail photos.
Cannon looked almost unrecognizable in oversized designer shades and with her famous blonde mane tied up in a high ponytail.
She still looked stylish in a black top, leopard leggings, and leather sneakers. She accessorized with bronze drop cross earrings and a black designer purse.
Cannon appeared sprightly but at one point did have to wrangle the pups through the streets as one dog seemed less interested in the stroll.
Despite largely keeping away from the spotlight these days, Cannon made headlines back in April for sharing details about her still-active dating life.
While attending the 10th Annual Hollywood Beauty Awards, she revealed that she still likes to juggle multiple ‘friends with benefits’ — and there are still ‘more to come,’ according to People.
When she was asked if she was still dating, she responded with an ‘of course,’ before clarifying that she’s only interested if the person is ‘somebody very special.’
She added that she was seeing ‘several special [people]…’ at the moment, adding that she had multiple physical connections with partners that didn’t come with the baggage of relationships and commitment.
‘I have friends with benefits, yes,’ she admitted.
Cannon began acting in the 50s and early 1960s with various television guest roles, but it was her relationship with film superstar Cary Grant – who was 33 years her senior – that elevated her public image.
He asked to meet her after seeing her in Ely’s diving drama Malibu Run.
The two married in 1965 and had one daughter, Jennifer, before their divorce three years later.
It wasn’t until after their split that Dyan became a major Hollywood star in her own right thanks to her Oscar-nominated role in the counter-culture hit Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice which follows two friendly couples who experiment with swinging. Wood, Robert Culp and Elliott Gould were the others in the ménage à quatre.
She also appeared opposite Sean Connery in The Anderson Tapes and in Otto Preminger’s Such Good Friends – which earned her a Golden Globe nomination.
She followed that up with two more Oscar nods – for the short film Number One and as the gold-digging Julia Farnsworth in Warren Beatty’s Heaven Can Wait.
Besides Grant, Cannon was also married to businessman Stanley Fimberg, whom she divorced in 1991 after a six-year union.
Other notable past relationships include chat show legend Carson, Ely, comedian Mort Sahl, talent agent Ron Weisner and actors Armond Assante, Hy Chase and Michael Nouri.
Though she has acted less frequently in recent years, Cannon turned to writing with the publication of her memoir Dear Cary: My Life With Cary Grant in 2011.
The book was a bestseller and came after she had turned down lucrative offers to write a memoir about her marriage for decades.
