Book description
Autobiography of the world-famous, and much-loved, actress.
Best known for her role as Annie Hall in Woody Allen's film of the same
name, for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress, Keaton has
had a fascinating and highly successful career, with roles in 'The
Godfather', 'Reds', 'Father of the Bride', 'Something's Gotta Give' and
many more. Personally Keaton has had relationships with Woody Allen,
Warren Beatty, and Al Pacino - all of whom she remains in touch with
today and who she will speak about in the book.
Diane Keaton's mother suffered from Alzheimer's, and during the fifteen
year long battle with this heartbreaking and debilitating disease, Diane
began to reflect on both of their lives - their commonalities and their
differences, the dreams they each realized and the dreams they deferred.
Soon after her mother passed away last September, Diane started to
write. The result is a memoir that is as touching, funny, and iconic as
its author; an illumination of an ordinary girl's journey to become an
extraordinary woman - and the defining relationship that made it all
possible. Diane Keaton's Academy Award-winning career, both in front of
and behind the camera, has made her a cinema legend and touchstone for a
generation. Diane Keaton has starred in some of the most memorable
movies of the past forty years, including the Godfather trilogy, Annie
Hall, Manhattan, Reds, Baby Boom, The First Wives Club, and Something's
Gotta Give. Her many awards include the Golden Globe and the Academy
Award. Keaton lives with her daughter and son in Los Angeles.
