The New York Times commended the film as one of the best movies ever made concerning child development.

Her third Oscar nomination was for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as “Julia Farnsworth”, opposite Warren Beatty, in “Heaven Can Wait”, for which she WON a Golden Globe Award and a Saturn Award. She received another Golden Globe Best Actress nomination for her performance in “Such Good Friends”. She also wrote, directed and starred in the highly acclaimed and intensely personal film, “The End of Innocence”, and she’s appeared in many other great movies including “Revenge of the Pink Panther”, “The Anderson Tapes”, “The Love Machine”, “The Last of Sheila”, “Honeysuckle Rose”, “Deathtrap”, “Author! Author!”, “Caddyshack 2”, “Out to Sea”, “Boynton Beach Club” and many more. On television, we all remember her as the intelligent and classy “Whipper Cone” on the hit TV show, “Ally McBeal”, and as the vivacious and free-spirited “Honey Bernstein-Flynn” on the popular sitcom, “Three Sisters”. She’s also guest starred in dozens of classic TV shows including “Have Gun, Will Travel”, “The Untouchables”, “77 Sunset Strip”, “Gunsmoke”, “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In”, “Beverly Hills, 90210”, “Diagnosis Murder” and many more. And she’s co-starred in numerous terrific TV movies and miniseries including “Virginia Hill”, “Lady of the House”, “Having it All”, “Master of the Game”, “Jenny’s War”, “Christmas in Connecticut” and “My Mother the Spy”, to name only a few.  

In 2011, our guest released her riveting and highly compelling, best-selling memoir, “Dear Cary”, which chronicled her incredibly intense and turbulent relationship with her husband, Cary Grant. The book was so tremendously successful, that it was on the New York Times best seller list THREE different times over a period of 4 years. 

And in 2023, our guest was the executive producer of the highly acclaimed miniseries about Cary Grant called “Archie”. 

She also has a podcast called “God’s Table”. And if all of that weren’t enough, our guest is renowned for her humanitarianism, especially in the areas of child welfare, as national spokesperson for the Hemangioma Treatment Foundation, and for Operation Lookout, which is dedicated to finding kidnapped children. And she’s worked with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America, as well as many other organizations advocating for animal welfare, substance abuse rehabilitation, and California's Special Olympics for physically and mentally challenged athletes. 

And last but certainly not least, in 1983 our guest received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
