Dyan Cannon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dyan Cannon (born Samile Diane Friesen on January 4, 1937) is an American film and television actress. She received two Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actress, one for Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969) and another for Heaven Can Wait (1978).
Cannon was born in Tacoma, Washington to a Baptist father and a Jewish mother. In 1965, she married Cary Grant, becoming his fourth wife. They had one child, a daughter, Jennifer (born February 26, 1966). However, the marriage was troubled from the beginning (Grant was 61 and Cannon was 28), and they separated within 18 months, with Cannon claiming that Grant spanked her for disobeying him. The divorce, finalized on May 28, 1967, was bitter and messy, and the custody disputes over their daughter went on for years.
Her most recent work has been as a semi-regular on the cult series Ally McBeal and the short-lived sitcom Three Sisters (2001-2002).
Cannon can often been seen sitting courtside at Los Angeles Lakers games, as she has been a fan of the team for decades.
