I'm a big Dyan Cannon fan and hope she scores an Emmy nomination for
either of the Boston-based legal series‹maybe even two, as "Allie" is
running as a comedy. Here are some of my comments on her filmography.

Isn't she involved in the broke-mother-daughter-on-a
-cruise-to-land-a-rich-husband plot that also turned up in "Titanic" that
year?

I was working at Turner Network Television when she did this and even got
to attend the New York premiere. The film is drek, but she looks
fabulous. After the premiere, she braved the fans and the New York
streets to walk to the party at Planet Hollywood and, I've got to say, she
had a body most 20-year-olds would kill for.

I think this is her best performance. Had the film done better at the
box-office, I'm sure she would have gotten a well-deserved Oscar
nomination.
= 29. Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978) .... Simone Legree
= 30. Heaven Can Wait (1978) .... Julia Farnsworth
= 31. Lady of the House (1978) (TV)

She's pretty damned good in this one, too.
= 34. Shamus (1973) .... Alexis
= ... aka Passion for Danger (1973)
= 35. Last of Sheila, The (1973) .... Christine
I believe her character in this one is based on high-power Hollywood agent
Sue Mengers (also the basis for Shelley Winters's character in "S.O.B.").
= 36. Casse, Le (1972) .... Lena
= ... aka Burglars, The (1972)

= 40. Such Good Friends (1971) .... Julie Messinger
= 41. Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969) .... Alice Henderson
And of c ourse, this is the performance that got her career started. Her
bedroom scene with Elliott Gould is a gem. She not only won an Oscar
nomination, but the New York Film Critics Award for Best Supporting
Actress.
