Honored with the Timeless Beauty Award at the 10th Hollywood Beauty Awards, Dyan Cannon was celebrated for her enduring presence, grace, and influence across generations of film and television.
Actor Michael Nouri joined the stage to celebrate Dyan’s legacy, honoring her timeless appeal and trailblazing spirit. Touching on their past relationship, he playfully said, “I suppose you could say I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kiss the lips that Cary Grant kissed.”
In 2011, she gave the world an inside look at her life with Cary Grant in her memoir Dear Cary, which became a New York Times and Los Angeles Times bestseller for years. The story found new life in Archie, a 2023 BritBox and Amazon miniseries, where Dyan serves as an executive producer.
The black-tie Hollywood Beauty Awards benefitted Helen Woodward Animal Center, honoring excellence in hair, makeup, photography, and styling across film, television, music, red carpet, and editorial platforms, along with special honorees.
The first woman in Academy history to be nominated for Oscars both as an actress and as a filmmaker — Dyan Cannon has done it all. Award-winning actress, director, screenwriter, editor, and producer — her talent knows no bounds.
Her Oscar journey began in 1970 with Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, earning her a nomination and a New York Film Critics Award. She then made history again with her second Oscar nomination — this time for Number One, a film she wrote, directed, produced, edited, and scored!
In 1979, she won a Golden Globe, a People’s Choice Award, and another New York Film Critics Award for her scene-stealing performance in Heaven Can Wait.
Dyan lit up the silver screen with unforgettable performances in Revenge of the Pink Panther — which earned her NATO’s Female Star of the Year — along with Eight Heads in a Duffle Bag, The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond, Such Good Friends, Honeysuckle Rose, Deathtrap, Caddyshack II, Out to Sea, and Beverly Hills Family Robinson. She also shined on the small screen in Ally McBeal, Three Sisters, and The Practice.
Beyond Hollywood, she’s spent over 35 years supporting Children of the Night and the past seven years helping recovering addicts. A legend on screen and a champion behind the scenes — Dyan Cannon continues to inspire.
