Dear Cary: Dyan Cannon / Neil Sedaka




Prime Time Radio - AARP show

Summary: Part A: Dyan Cannon was a young actress just starting her career when she received a note from the most famous men in Hollywood saying he was interested in meeting her. It was then that she did the unbelievable; she refused to meet Cary Grant. They did finally meet and after a certain amount of pursuing by Grant, they got married. It was a stormy relationship at best, but writing her memoir, “Dear Cary”, helped her heal and forgive many past hurts from the relationship. Cannon also believes it taught her how to love again. Part B: Neil Sedaka has been successful in the music business for nearly six decades. An accomplishment he attributes to hard work, a willingness to reinvent his career, and a flexibility to change his style. He is now producing children’s books and music with his son, Marc. “Dinosaur Pet” is his wonderfully illustrated children’s book that features whimsical translations of classic songs like “Calendar Girl” and “Breaking up is Hard to Do”. Sedaka and his grandchildren sing these new translations together as “Dinosaur Pet” and “Waking Up is Hard to Do”
