It would take a few more years for them to finally get together.
Dilg said they fell in love 'instantly' once they reconnected in New York City while a gut feeling also told Kennedy he was the one for her.
'We met at a place called Haymarket, which had sawdust on the floor, in the theater district. We were all waiting for Larry to arrive, and in he walked, then I had that small still voice within me that said, “This one’s yours.”'
They wed in 1978 and now have two children together.
Mimi is now a critically-acclaimed actress who is also politically active
The author of two memoires, Kennedy boasts an incredible acting career that has spanned decades, with parts on Broadway, the big screen, and TV - including a role opposite Jeff Goldblum on an episode of American Playhouse entitled Popular Neurotics.
She also is politically active and serves as the board member of the Progressive Democrats of America.
While Dilg wasn't an actor for very long, he landed a role in one of cinema's most iconic films, Ghostbusters, playing a brief yet memorable role as a Con Edison worker who is instructed to shut down the protection grid to the protestations of Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray).
It's one of the last roles he had as an actor, with his resume also boasting Strangers Kiss, The New Mike Hammer, Thornwell, and an appearance in the show 3 Girls 3 as 'Dead Guy.'
