For Hollywood star Dyan Cannon, 88, age suddenly became more than just a number—literally. The ‘Heaven Can Wait’ actress found herself locked out of the White House this week, after Secret Service agents flagged an odd discrepancy in her passport.Dyan Cannon, along with fellow actresses Kym Douglas and Tracey Bregman, and TV personality and chef Christine Avanti-Fischer, had recently travelled to Washington, D.C. together, Fox News reported. The group hosts a new podcast, “God’s Table.” While out for sightseeing, their plans encountered a problem. “We are lined up for a great tour, and we have these Secret Service guys and all of the federal agents. We can’t get in because someone lied about their age,” Douglas, who filmed the video, explained. Cannon laughed during the explanation as Bregman and Avanti-Fischer teased her. “Listen,” Cannon said. “Years ago, here’s the thing, I lied about my age on my passport.” “Who doesn’t, Dyan?” Douglas joked. Avanti-Fischer remarked, “If we get in, it’s going to be a miracle of God.” The video was initially shared by Douglas on her Instagram story Thursday, but Cannon reposted it to her own page, captioning it, “And I’d do it again.” She added, “It’s nobody’s business what the number is they’ve pinned on me ….right girls? Right guys? it’s just a blinkin number… no matter what number they put next to me there’s one thing that never changes …I WUV WU.”Bregman commented on the post, writing, “Hilarious. Love you so but seriously, how can I change my age.”
