She was married to a Hollywood icon before becoming a silver screen siren in her own right...can you guess who?

Daily Mail​4 days ago
She stole the heart of a true movie giant with her bombshell looks and then landed iconic film roles in the 1960s and '70s.
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?
This iconic glamor girl from the '60s and '70s was spotted looking as fashionable as ever while taking her adorable pooches for a walk in Los Angeles last week
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.

Tom Cruise turns down Trump's invite for Kennedy Center Honor: report

Actor Tom Cruise has turned down President Donald Trump' s invitation to the 48th Kennedy Center Honors, according to a new report. On Wednesday, Trump announced the recipients of the prestigious award, which 'recognizes and celebrates individuals whose unique artistic contributions have shaped our world,' according to the Washington, D.C. arts center. The five recipients who will be honored in December are country music singer George Strait, rock band KISS, Broadway star Michael Crawford, singer Gloria Gaynor and actor Sylvester Stallone. Not on the list is Cruise, known for his starring roles in the movie franchises 'Mission Impossible' and 'Top Gun.' Cruise was offered the award but declined due to scheduling conflicts, The Washington Post reported, citing current and former Kennedy Center employees. The Independent has reached out to a representative for Cruise for comment. In November, Cruise will receive an honorary Oscar at the Governors Awards, alongside the production designer Wynn Thomas, and the choreographer and actress Debbie Allen, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced in June. Before announcing the award recipients this week, Trump suggested that he be honored next year, as he had never received one. 'I waited and waited and waited, and I said, 'The hell with it, I'll become chairman and I'll give myself an honor,'' he said. 'Next year, we'll honor Trump, okay?' The president insisted the Kennedy Center board had requested that he serve as the emcee of this year's show, stepping into shoes once filled by the late CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite from 1981 to 2002, then by Ambassador Caroline Kennedy — the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, for whom the arts center is named — from 2003 to 2012. Trump initially claimed the center's board had selected 'a truly exceptional class of honorees.' But under questioning from reporters he admitted that he had signed off on the list and rejected multiple picks for honorees because they'd been 'too woke.' 'I would say I was about 98 percent involved ... they all went through me,' he said. 'I turned down plenty who were too woke.'

I-DLE's Minnie and superstar Nadech are star in a new remake where the daily courtship falls on her shoulders

Sony Pictures just handed one of their biggest rom-com properties to Thailand's GDH. If you're not familiar, this is the Bad Genius studio, the same house that got How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies Oscar-shortlisted for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards. This Thai production powerhouse now claims 50 First Dates. The 2004 Hollywood original is a pure amnesia romance. Drew Barrymore's Lucy wakes up memory-wiped daily while Adam Sandler's Henry relives the same courtship ritual. Love on permanent reset yet still choosing each other every sunrise. But in Thailand's version, love rewinds in a whole new way: he forgets, she recalls. The casting doubles down on surprises. Thai-born I-DLE's Minnie Nicha leaps from K-pop stages to her first film role. Opposite her is Nadech Kugimiya, Thailand's eternal heartthrob and box office guarantee, whose film Death-Whisperer 2 became the highest-grossing Thai film of all time in 2024, raking in B825 million. Behind the camera is Mez Tharatorn, whose credits include co-writing How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies as well as hits like The Little Comedian, The Con-Heartist and I Fine… Thank You… Love You. Since the announcement, everyone's talking about cultural translation. GDH rarely does shallow remakes and we already see them reshaping the core story. What changes when the weight of memory shifts from her to him? When daily wooing becomes her task? How will American dating quirks bend into Thai courtship? How will Hawaiian beaches translate into Thai landscapes – and which ones? Cities, mountains or coastal escapes? We can only keep guessing but the wait won't be long. Cameras roll this October, eyes on the big screen in 2026. With Sony Pictures handling worldwide distribution, Thailand surely has earned global trust and is eager to show the world how love unfolds on its streets every single day.

'Sesame Street' stars Elmo and Abby Cadabby sing and host in their Grand Ole Opry debut

For a 3 1/2-year-old, Elmo sure has sung a lot on "Sesame Street" with some of the best musicians in the world. But it wasn't until Thursday that the friendly red monster made his Grand Ole Opry debut, a country music rite of passage. The squeaky voiced singer's roots in the genre actually run pretty deep. Elmo helped ring in the Grand Ole Opry's 100th anniversary this year by co-hosting with his 'Sesame Street' pal Abby Cadabby. Elmo, in a little blue cowboy hat and matching shirt, teamed up for a duet alongside Lauren Alaina, while Abby Cadabby sang with Tayla Lynn, the daughter of Loretta Lynn, the late country star who had visited "Sesame Street" herself. 'We sing all the time on 'Sesame Street,' but um, well, being able to sing in the home of country music is amazing!' Abby Cadabby told The Associated Press prior to their performance. The puppet pair shared the spotlight in Music City during a stop on the "Sesame Street" crew's Road Trip Across America this summer and fall, when the characters that kids have watched on TV for decades are heading to events such as professional baseball games, state fairs and corn mazes. Cookie Monster even served as the grand marshal at the NASCAR Brickyard 400 in Indiana, making a cookie crumb mess, as expected. Throughout the years, the "Sesame Street" gang has played and sung songs with some of country music's brightest stars, including Garth Brooks, Lee Ann Womack, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Thomas Rhett, Kane Brown, Mickey Guyton, Kacey Musgraves and more. Chris Stapleton stopped by Sesame Street in late July. Johnny Cash made multiple appearances. He won over Oscar the Grouch with his song, 'Nasty Dan,' about a mean guy who never laughed and was rumored to have never taken a bath. 'Wow, I'd like him,' Oscar the Grouch mused from his trash can. Loretta Lynn, meanwhile, joined for a math lesson with the Count on the song, 'Count on Me.' In their interview with AP, Elmo and Abby Cadabby said the Count always talks about Loretta Lynn. Elmo said Stapleton's song about the power of music was really great. 'Elmo got to wear his hat,' Elmo said of Stapleton. "It was a little big for Elmo, but that's OK. A really good time." Both of them were also dreaming big about singing with Dolly Parton. 'Elmo would love to do a duet with Miss Dolly Parton,' Elmo said. 'Maybe we could do 'Jolene' together. Come on Dolly! Call Elmo!' 'Yeah! Or 'Love is Like a Butterfly!'' Abby Cadabby added. 'Call us! We're available!' Elmo said. 'Sesame Street'debuted in 1969, and has helped generations of children learn, grow and be kind with characters like Bert, Ernie and Grover. Elmo wasn't officially Elmo, though, until 1980 in the 11th season. Before that, he was more of an extra used in some segments. He turns 3 1/2 years old on his birthday every February 3. Abby Cadabby is a 4-year-old fairy-in-training, and the Fairy Godmother's daughter. She came to Sesame Street in 2006. They also tossed out some ideas for new country songs. Elmo said he might write one about Rocco, the pet rock from Sesame Street. Abby Cadabby's idea was a little more complicated. 'A guitar-playing pickle picking in a pickle patch with a penguin eating pizza. Woo!' she said. 'Maybe I'll just sing about my friend Big Bird.' Elmo has also had play dates with his cousin Elmer, who spoke with a little twang, wore a bright green cowboy hat and played a guitar to lead them in the 'Rootin' Tootin' Hootin' Hollerin' Country Jamboree.' 'Elmo loves country music, too,' Elmo said. 'Elmo loves the fiddle. Elmo loves to hear the fiddle. And Elmo loves to say fiddle.'
