Diane Keaton (born January 5, 1946) is an American actress, producer and director.
She was born Diane Hall in Santa Ana, California. In 1967 she had a minor role in the original cast of Hair on Broadway; here is her biography from that show's souvenir program:
- Born January 5, 1946 in Santa Ana, California. Neighborhood Playhouse Graduate...U.S.O. Tour of Orient...Hobbies?...Going to the movies, eating!... taking walks, being alive. Why I am what I am? Ask my friends. They would like nothing better than to rap on me! Man, how could I answer that...? My God, that's impossible. I am human being number 927-4610-887. How could I presume to...well...you know...right.
Her film break came when she appeared in the stage version of Woody Allen's Play It Again, Sam. She became romantically involved with Allen and has played eccentric, neurotic characters in several of his comic films, but has also won acclaim in serious roles. She later had a relationship with Warren Beatty, with whom she also appeared on screen.
