Dyan Cannon has an impressive relationship roster at the age of 88.
The actress shared in a new interview that she is “of course” still dating — and even has “several special” people in her life.
“I have friends with benefits, yes,” she told People at the Hollywood Beauty Awards on Sunday.
Cannon did not reveal the identities of her numerous lovers, though she did reflect on her fling with Johnny Carson, who died at age 79 in 2005.
The Heaven Can Wait star raved about being featured in a CBS Sunday Morning segment about the late Tonight Show host, which aired last month.
“I rattled him, and I love that,” she recalled to People of their dynamic. “We love it when we rattle men who aren’t usually rattled, don’t we?”
Cannon divulged that Carson “loved” secretly dating her.
“We used to go to restaurants, and they’d shut down the entire restaurant for him,” she remembered, adding, “He was a special man. I’ve known a lot of special men. And there’s more to come.”
The ’70s star was famously married to Cary Grant from 1965 to 1968. She and the late North by Northwest star, who died in 1986 at age 82, welcomed daughter Jennifer Grant, now 59, in 1966.
Cannon reflected on her tough marriage with Grant in her 2011 memoir, Dear Cary: My Life with Cary Grant.
“I never knew what was going to set him off next, and when he wasn’t at work he trailed me around the house, listing my shortcomings,” she wrote.
“I didn’t place a coaster under my waterglass. I parked my car in the driveway crooked. I shouldn’t be so friendly to the postman because he might get the wrong idea, or to the maid because it was good to keep a distance.”
The three-time Oscar nominee, who was also married to Stanley Fimberg from 1985 to 1991, is not the only Hollywood star to have recently confessed to playing the field.
Fran Drescher told Page Six exclusively last month that she has a “rotation” of friends with benefits.
“I’m Fran Drescher. What do you think?!” the Nanny star, 67, said with a laugh.
