The movie of her life is Annie Hall: Who is Diana Keaton?

She was born on January 5, 1946, in Los Angeles, California, USA. She was the oldest of four children in the Keaton family. Her father, Jack Hall, was an engineer and her mother, Dorothy Keaton, was an amateur photographer.

Keaton, whose father is Irish-American, was raised by this teaching by her mother, who adhered to Methodism, a branch of Protestantism. Little Diana, whose passion for becoming an actress first emerged during the celebration when her mother was chosen as Mrs. Los Angeles, also admired Katharine Hepburn.

Diane Keaton (born Diane Hall on January 5, 1946) is an American actress. She has received various accolades throughout her career spanning over five decades, including an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, and two Golden Globe Awards, in addition to nominations for a Tony Award and two Emmy Awards. She was honored with the Film Society of Lincoln Center Gala Tribute in 2007 and an AFI Life Achievement Award in 2017.

Before graduating from Santa Ana High School in 1964, Keaton was a member of the music and cinema club at the school and actively participated in its activities. She played the character of Blanche DuBois in the play A Streetcar Named Desire. Diana, who attended Santa Ana College and then Orange Coast College before dropping out because she wanted to pursue a career in acting, changed her last name from Hall to Keaton after enrolling in the Actors' Equity Association.

Keaton was also studying acting at the school called Neighborhood Playhouse. The actress, who played in the famous Broadway musical Hair for 9 months in 1968, also met the audience in the theater play Play It Again Sam by the successful director Woody Allen in 1972. The actor, who was nominated for a Tony Award for her role in this movie, also received full marks from critics for her performance in the movie Lovers and Other Strangers. Keaton, who also appeared in the TV series Love, American Style, and Night Gallery, also appeared in a series of deodorant commercials at that time.

Keaton's role as Kay Adams, the girlfriend of Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino, in Francis Ford Coppola's epic The Godfather made Keaton widely known.

Coppola first saw Keaton in the movie Lovers and Other Strangers and was impressed by her acting. Keaton, who was reluctant to star in the second film of the series, The Godfather II, accepted the offer after reading the script because she thought the Kay Adams character was stronger in the new film. However, Time magazine would mention that Keaton was ineffective and insignificant in both films.

One of the directors with whom Keaton collaborated in the 70s was Woody Allen. The actress, who starred in romantic comedies such as Sleeper, Love and Death, Interiors, and Manhattan, also starred in the film version of Play It Again Sam, directed by Herbert Ross.

In 1977 came Annie Hall, which was very important to Keaton's filmography. The film has been considered an autobiographical reflection of the relationship between Keaton and Allen. Because Annie was a pseudonym and Hall was the actor's real surname. The actress would later say that the Annie Hall character was the ideal version of herself. In addition to being a huge box office success, the film also won the Best Picture Oscar that year and earned Keaton the Best Actress Oscar. In 2006, Premiere magazine named the Annie Hall character one of the best performances of all time.

In the same year, Time magazine, in its September 26 edition, mentioned Keaton as the funniest actress of that period. A year later, the actor moved away from the comedy genre and starred in Looking for Mr., adapted from Judith Rossner's novel of the same name. She starred in the drama Goodbar. The actor, who was very passionate about music, sang songs for the musical Hair. Although she also made a solo album in the 70s, her musical projects remained in the background.

Keaton, who ended her long-term relationship with Woody Allen after the shooting of Manhattan ended in 1979, fell in love with Warren Beatty and starred with the famous actor in Reds in 1981. Keaton was very successful with her role as Louise Bryant, the wife of a radical journalist, and The New York Times commented on her role as her most successful performance to date. The actress, who received her second Oscar nomination, starred in one of the most unsuccessful films in history with the horror/action movie The Little Drummer Girl in 1984. The actress, who appeared before the audience with very successful acting in Crimes of the Heart, a moderately successful comedy with Jessica Lange and Sissy Spacek, in which she returned to the comedy genre, made her first partnership with writer and producer Nancy Meyers, in the movie Baby, which brought her a great commercial success. She did it with Boom in 1987.

Diana Keaton's first directorial experience was with the movie Heaven, which tells about the spiritual journey after life. Keaton, who also directed Belinda Carlisle's music videos, was behind the camera for two television movies starring Patricia Arquette and some episodes of the TV series China Beach and Twin Peaks. The actress, who also had a great interest in photography, published a book in which she compiled her works in 1980.

Keaton, who enjoyed being one of Hollywood's most popular and versatile actors in the 90s, starred in the box office success Father of the Bride with Steve Martin in 1991. The actress, who has been compared to the legendary actress Katharine Hepburn with her acting, continued to shine in the last film of the series, The Godfather III. Keaton adopted a daughter in 1996.

After films such as Hanging Up and Town & Country, she achieved great success with Somethings Gotta Give, in which she reunited with Nancy Meyers. The film, in which she starred with Jack Nicholson, not only had a long-term zero gross at the box office but also brought Keaton a Best Actress Oscar nomination.

Critics did not give very good comments about Keaton's last film, Because I Said So, who appeared in front of the camera with Sarah Jessica Parker for The Family Stone in 2005.

Keaton, who adopted another child in 2001 and was listed among the 100 sexiest stars of the century by Empire magazine, never married. Keaton, who dated Al Pacino and Warren Beatty after being together with Woody Allen for many years, last appeared in Mama's Boy, directed by Jan Mannus.
