Three time Oscar nominee (and avid Los Angeles Lakers fan) Dyan Cannon is celebrating her 81st birthday today. Cannon began acting on television in the late 1950s and made her first feature films in the early sixties, but was almost certainly better known back then for her short marriage to Cary Grant. That changed at the end of the 1960s when Cannon was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.
The 1970s were Cannon’s heyday. She starred in a variety of films, including The Love Machine, Shamus, The Last of Sheila, and Revenge of the Pink Panther. In 1976, she directed, produced and wrote a short film called Number One, which was nominated for Best Live Action Short. And she capped the decade by receiving her third Oscar nomination, starring opposite Warren Beatty in Heaven Can Wait:

Cannon’s star seemed to fade rather dramatically in the 1980s; by the middle of the decade she was almost exclusively working in TV movies. She had a bit of a resurgence in the late nineties with a couple of good feature films and a recurring role on Ally McBeal. One of her last film roles was a cameo, as herself, in After the Sunset—appropriately, she was courtside at a Lakers game.
