Diane Keaton (née Hall; January 5, 1946) is an Academy Award-winning American               
film actress, director and producer. Keaton 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.                               
                                                                                             
Keaton subsequently expanded her range, as can be seen 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 Something's Gotta Give (2003). Films Keaton has been in have               
earned a cumulative gross of over USD$1.1 billion in North America. In                       
addition to acting, she is also a photographer, real estate developer, and                   
occasional singer.
