Dyan Cannon was recently spotted during a quiet trip to a Los Angeles farmers’ market, looking nearly unrecognizable to longtime fans. The 88-year-old actress rose to fame in the late 1960s but has kept a low profile, often checking vendor stalls and walking her dog in casual attire.
Cannon became a household name after her Oscar-nominated performance in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice in 1969. In her recent appearance, she wore a loose-fitting blue tracksuit, black sneakers, and a black fedora, stopping to look at a pair of sunglasses. She had little makeup, and her hair mostly tucked beneath her hat, looking entirely different.
Dyan Cannon now
Cannon believes that advancing in life should not be limited by age. After rising to fame in 1969, she appeared in Heaven Can Wait and other popular television shows, including Ally McBeal. Despite her success, Dyan Cannon avoided the Hollywood spotlight in later years. Although she occasionally stepped out for events, she has since adopted a more private lifestyle in Los Angeles.
Earlier this year, she made a rare red carpet-appearance at the 10th Annual Hollywood Beauty Awards, where she shared updates about her personal life. Cannon opened up about her current relationships, revealing that she still enjoys dating and keeps close ties with “special people” in her life, though she did not mention names.
Looking back
Cannon’s personal life has long been the subject of public interest. She was famously married to Cary Grant from 1965 to 1968, and they had one daughter, Jennifer Grant. Though their marriage was brief, Dyan Cannon has spoken in the past about how their relationship grew into a lasting friendship after their divorce. Before her time with Grant, she also dated The Tonight Show host Johnny Carson.
A recent CBS News special revisited her relationship with Carson and her role in the talk show host’s private life. In the special, Cannon was remembered as someone who left a lasting impression on Carson both personally and professionally. While she no longer seeks the spotlight, Dyan Cannon’s influence continues. With a career spanning over five decades, the actress has remained true to herself, choosing a quieter path now.
