Diane Keaton

Diane Keaton came up through the original Broadway cast of Hair in 1968 and landed a Tony nomination the next year as Woody Allen's love interest in Play It Again, Sam. Her screen break arrived with Kay Adams in The Godfather (1972), a role she'd revisit twice over eighteen years, but the Allen collaborations - eight films total - defined her comic persona: Sleeper, Love and Death, and the Oscar-winning Annie Hall in 1977. She earned three more Academy Award nominations across two decades: as activist Louise Bryant in Reds (1981), a leukemia patient in Marvin's Room (1996), and a playwright in Something's Gotta Give (2003). The dramatic work ran from Looking for Mr. Goodbar and Interiors through Shoot the Moon and Crimes of the Heart, while the comedies kept coming - Baby Boom, Father of the Bride and its sequel, The First Wives Club, Finding Dory. She directed a documentary and three features, played Amelia Earhart for TNT and a nun in The Young Pope, wrote four books including the memoir Then Again, and became a fashion reference point until her death in October 2025.
