Hollywood Legend Dyan Cannon's Secret is Out: She Falsified Her Age on a Government Document and Got Caught!

The glamorous 88-year-old actress, known for her stunning looks and sassy attitude, has been caught red-handed for lying about her age on a government document. And, honey, she's not even sorry about it!

Dyan Cannon, who was briefly married to the dashing Cary Grant in the 1960s, was denied access to the White House for a tour because of the fake age listed on her official papers. But what's a little white lie when you're trying to maintain your youthful glow?

The 88-year-old was briefly married to Cary Grant from 1965 to 1968, and was the only one of his five wives with whom he had a child; he and Dyan are pictured in 1966

The actress, who was born in 1937, has been open about her desire to stay young and glamorous. In fact, she once said that she'd "do it all over again" if she had to fake her age on her passport. And it seems like she's not just talking the talk - she's walking the walk!

Dyan posted a funny Instagram video of herself laughing with three of her girlfriends outside the White House checkpoint, where they were held up because of the security screening issue caused by her falsified age. The quartet, which included soap stars Tracey Bregman and Kym Douglas-Robertson, as well as cookbook author Christine Avanti-Fischer, looked like they were having the time of their lives.

In the video, Dyan confessed that she had lied about her age on her passport "years ago" and told her friends to just keep lying about their own ages. Because, let's be real, it's nobody's business what number is next to your name!

The actress, who has been in the entertainment industry for over six decades, has had a wild ride. She's been married five times, including to the legendary Cary Grant, and has dated some of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors, including Johnny Carson, Mort Sahl, Bob Fosse, Hal Ashby, Michael Nouri, and Armand Assante.

But it's not just her love life that's been making headlines. Dyan's memoir, "Dear Cary: My Life with Cary Grant," which was published in 2011, exposed the dark side of their marriage. She revealed that Cary had a controlling personality and would often become emotionally distant.

In fact, she even confessed to experimenting with LSD under his pressure, and ended up going through a drug-fueled breakdown and being hospitalized. But, as we all know, Dyan Cannon is a true Hollywood survivor - and she's still sassy, still glamorous, and still got it!

When promoting her memoir-turned-miniseries "Archie," which was based on her life with Cary Grant, Dyan described herself as "a big God girl" who had found solace in her faith after going through so much. But let's be real - she's also a bit of a rebel, always pushing the boundaries and living life on her own terms.

So, to all you young-at-heart women out there, take note: if Dyan Cannon can fake her age and still get away with it, who are we to judge? As she so wisely said, "it's just a blinkin number... no matter what number they put next to me, I WUV WU!!"

Dyan was also nominated for an Oscar for the 1978 film Heaven Can Wait, in which she is pictured with Charles Grodin and which was led by Warren Beatty and Julie Christie

Dyan was the only one of Cary's five wives with whom he had a child, their daughter Jennifer, 59; Dyan, Cary and Jennifer are pictured together in 1966
