An Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] REPRODUCTION Still (Learn More) Dyan Cannon was born Samile Diane Friesen in Washington State in 1937. This super sexy blonde got some TV roles in 1958, and her first movie role the next year (billed as "Diane Cannon"), but she was mostly stuck in sexpot type roles (for example, she was "Wiggles" in This Rebel Breed), She started a relationship with Cary Grant, who was 33 years older than her, and she mostly only appeared on TV in the early 1960s. She married Grant in 1965 (he was 61 and it was his fourth marriage) and they had a child (the only child she or Grant ever had), and she stopped acting entirely. They were divorced in 1968, and she returned to acting with a supporting role in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film). She appeared in five movies in 1971 alone, but then made only a few appearances in the rest of the 1970s. In 1976 she produced, directed, wrote, edited, and acted in the short film Number On, which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Short Film-Live Action film. Two years later she played the wife in Heaven Can Wait (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film). She appeared in a number of forgettable movies in the 1980s, and in 1990 she wrote, directed and starred in The End of Innocence, the story of a woman who spends her life trying to make others happy and ends up in a rehab center, and one wonders if she almost certainly wasn't telling her own life story. Cannon was a multi-talented beautiful actress who received three Oscar nominations, and yet it does not seem like her career amounted to nearly as much as it might have, had she made a few different choices over her lifetime. As of 2021, she is still alive at the age of 84! Important Added Info: Note that this REPRODUCTION still has been personally autographed (signed) by Dyan Cannon! Note that this autographed item is part of a remarkable collection. In each of our last several all-signed auctions, we auctioned hundreds of items from this collection and now we are auctioning many more signed photos and miscellaneous other signed items (plus many signed index cards that have a different note on those)! In the 1970s, our consignor was a teacher who taught a film class, and he also part-time ran the local movie theater (and he saved all the presskits from the movies the theater showed). Starting in the late 1970s through the late 1980s, he wrote to famous celebrities, and enclosed an 8x10 still or repro (or sometimes another item) from his collection, and he wrote a literate personalized letter, talking about his work as a film teacher, and discussing his favorite movie by that star. He received signed photos back from a good percentage of the people he wrote to, and if the people simply sent him a stock photo back, he did not save it, but if he felt the autograph was genuine, and if they added a personalized note, then he did save them. In the late 1980s, he pretty much stopped sending letters and photos, simply because he was just too busy. So this item (and the vast majority of the other photos and other items we are auctioning for this consignor) were obtained in the late 1970s or 1980s, through personal correspondence with this star. This is of course excellent, because back at that time celebrities were not selling their signatures nearly as much, and many of the stars were pretty forgotten and were happy to get letters from people like our consignor! He of course does not have any "Certificates of Authenticity", but he only kept ones he felt were surely authentic, and those are the ones we are auctioning. However, bidders can certainly compare the signatures to known examples on the internet to judge for themselves. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
