Southern California native, Diane Keaton (born Diane Hall on January 5, 1946) began her career on stage, and made her screen debut in 1970. Her first major film role was as Kay Adams in The Godfather (1972), but the films that shaped her early career were those with director and co-star Woody Allen, beginning with Play It Again, Sam (1972). Her next two films for Allen were Sleeper (1973) and Love and Death (1975) and they established her as a comic actress. Her fourth film for Allen, the semi-autobiographical Annie Hall (1977) won her the Academy Award for Best Actress. Ms. Keaton subsequently expanded her range, as can be seen in Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977) and her Academy Award nominations for Reds (1981) and Marvin's Room (1996). Some of her popular later films include Father of the Bride (1991), The First Wives Club (1996), and more recently, Somethings Gotta Give (2003), and The Family Stone (2005). In addition to acting, she is also a photographer, real estate developer, and occasional singer.With a long list of credits as an accomplished actress, of stage and screen, as well as director and producer, Ms. Keaton has earned the admiration of many adoring fans and colleagues alike!
