Cary Grant’s ex-wife Dyan Cannon is looking back on their relationship and marriage.
The 86-year-old actress is the executive producer of the new ITV Studios/BritBox miniseries, “Archie,” about the Hollywood icon. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Cannon, who was married to Grant from 1965 to 1968, shared her thoughts on what she would have done differently looking back at their time together.
“I wish that I could have then understood love as I understand it now,” the three-time Academy Award nominee said.

“And I think I would have personalized less and been more understanding and then been able maybe to help a man who was really going through a lot of hell.”
“But when I watched it the first time in London a couple of weeks ago with a packed house of newspeople, it was like this,” she said as she sunk down in her chair. “I kept going down in my seat. I didn’t realize how personal it was. Because reading a book is one thing, but when you see a film, it’s up there.
“You’re watching people act you out, which is weird in the first place. So, it’s been frustrating. It’s been tearful-making. It’s been depressing. It’s been enlightening. It’s been filled with revelatory thoughts.
“And it’s also brought a bit of a closure.”
“Archie” began streaming on BritBox Dec. 7.
