Dyan Cannon's love life is buzzing with more action than most would think possible at her age.
The 88-year-old actress recently admitted that she is still dating, but not in a traditional sense; rather, she is in a "friends with benefits" situation with "several special" people. Cannon also teased that she plans to keep living this way for the foreseeable future.
Dyan Cannon has been married twice to actor Cary Grant and real estate investor Stanley Fimberg.
Dyan Cannon Admits She Has Multiple 'Friends with Benefits'
During her appearance at the 10th Annual Hollywood Beauty Awards on Sunday, April 6, Cannon spilled details about her love life that showed she was still having fun at her age.
The actress was asked if she's currently seeing anyone by People Magazine, to which she responded with a confident "Of course" and added, "Somebody very special."
But before the remark could sink in, the 88-year-old clarified that she meant "several special" people in a "friends with benefits" situation.
Beyond the stunning confession, the "Heaven Can Wait" star also turned heads on the red carpet in her glittering green gown.
The long-sleeved dress featured a daring deep neckline that subtly showcased her cleavage and flowed down past her knees to her dark shoes.
Cannon completed the look with soft, loose curls that fell gracefully to her shoulders, along with a light, glowing makeup look and a glossy pink lip that added just the right pop. She also accessorized with a necklace attached to a shiny pendant.
The Actress Called Her Former Lover, Johnny Carson, A 'Special Man'
Elsewhere in her conversation with the outlet, Cannon touched on a CBS Sunday News special titled "The Hidden Side of Johnny Carson."
"I've been hearing constantly about Johnny Carson," the actress said about the special, which was produced last month. "It's on a lot. They're running it, running it, running it."
According to the actress, she is glad that the show is receiving attention because she "rattled" him when they once worked together and eventually dated.
"I rattled him, and I love that. We love it when we rattle men who aren't usually rattled, don't we?" Cannon revealed, "He loved it. He loved it. We used to go to restaurants, and they'd shut down the entire restaurant for him."
Reflecting further on their relationship, Cannon described the late actor as a "special man" and hinted at dating more men like him.
"He was a special man," she added. "I've known a lot of special men. And there's more to come."
Dyan Cannon Has Only Been Married Twice
Although Cannon has dated and is still dating a number of people, she has only been married twice.
Her first marriage was to British-American actor Cary Grant, known for "Bringing Up Baby," "The Philadelphia Story," and "His Girl Friday."
She met him in late 1961, and four years later, they walked down the aisle together despite the over three-decade age difference between them. Grant was 61, while Cannon was 28 at the time.
A year after their marriage, they welcomed a daughter, Jennifer, but shockingly, by the following year, Cannon filed for divorce from the legendary actor.
Cannon's second attempt at marriage was to real estate investor Stanley Fimberg in 1985. The two spent nearly six years together before separating in 1991
The Actress Recently Attended A Lakers Game
Last month, Cannon was one of the many fans who turned up at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles to watch the Lakers take on the New Orleans Pelicans.
For the event, which ended 136-115 in favor of the Lakers, Cannon donned an ensemble that consisted of mostly black colors.
It included a cropped black jacket with bold shoulders and delicate cream-colored ruffles adorning her wrists and neckline.
The actress added to her look with a black shoulder bag and coat and knee-high black boots with heels.
She also let down her blonde hair in loose waves over her shoulders and adorned her finger with a gold ring.
Prior to the outing, she had last appeared at a Lakers Game in November when the team played against the Utah Jazz.
Fran Drescher Has A 'Rotation Of Friends With Benefits'
Cannon is not the only Hollywood veteran who enjoys taking part in "friends with benefits" relationships.
"The Nanny" star Fran Drescher recently opened up about her interesting love life. She declared that she has a "rotation" of friends with benefits five years after revealing she had "someone on the side who is a friend with benefits.
Drescher made the quip during her appearance at the Cinema Society screening of "The Friend," telling Page Six she has "a little rotation" of such friends.
When she was pressed on what she might mean by the word "rotation," the 67-year-old jokingly bragged, "I'm Fran Drescher, What do you think?!"
The "Happily Divorced" alum explained that she loves her ex-husband Jacobson, who came out as gay after their divorce, adding that they're still "very close." The most she can give anyone else is a "friend with benefits" situation.
Drescher met Jacobson when she was 15 and went on to marry him in 1978 when she was 21. However, they separated in 1996 and divorced in 1999.
