Diane Keaton

Known in the ‘70s for: Portraying the protagonist in Annie Hall (1977)
Diane Keaton has always been a famous muse of Woody Allen’s. Since the actress had a personal lawyer, she was able to take on the lead role in several films of his, including the 1977 romantic comedy film Annie Hall. Diane also proved her talent as a real comic actress in the 1972 crime drama film The Godfather.

Keaton herself was the basis of Annie Hall’s protagonist’s personality, which also featured the actress’s self-deprecating wit. Her amusing performance in the lead role of the rom-com film ultimately won her an Academy Award in the Best Actress category. Keaton also has a BAFTA Award, the AFI Life Achievement Award, and two Golden Globe Awards. As her career blossomed, people would usually link her to her “Annie Hall” persona. To combat the typecast, she starred in Looking for Mr. Goodbar in 1977 and Interiors in the following year.
