The veteran actress Diane Keaton, who has nearly 60 years of acting experience, is a master of many aspects of the silver screen.
Off camera, though, the Hollywood “it girl” was a “master at hiding,” keeping dark secrets from her younger self that she now acknowledges as “creepy.”
The LA-born Diane Keaton, 77, is one of Hollywood’s most accomplished leading ladies and an icon with a nearly six-decade-long career.
She debuted on stage in 1968 as an understudy for a main role in the counterculture musical Hair, where Woody Allen first saw her. He later cast her as his love interest in the Broadway production of Play it Again, Sam (1969).
The then 23-year-old received her first and only Tony nomination for the role of Linda Christie, which she later repeated in the 1972 film adaption of the same name.
Although they collaborated on multiple films over the following two decades, her real-life relationship with Woody Allen only lasted a few years, mirroring the fleeting stage romance her character enjoyed with Allen.
The award-winning actor made a few unremarkable cameos in movies, TV shows, and advertisements before landing her breakout part in The Godfather.
In the Oscar-winning movie with unparalleled commercial and critical success, Keaton played the girlfriend and ultimately the wife of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), significantly increasing her fame as actor.
