After dropping out of college, she moved from Los Angeles to New York to begin her professional acting career, adopting her mother's maiden name: Keaton.

Diane Keaton's big screen debut was in Cy Howard's Honeymoon with Nettles , a film released in 1970.

But it was two years later, in the role of Kay Adams, the girlfriend and later wife of mobster Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino, in Coppola's The Godfather films, that she made an impact in Hollywood.

Although she only won one Oscar, she was nominated three more times in the Best Actress category: in 1982 for Reds , directed by Warren Beatty; in 1997 for Two Sisters , directed by Jerry Zaks; and in 2004 for Something's Gotta Give , directed by Nancy Meyers.

In a 2019 interview with People magazine, reflecting on her career, she said: “I know nothing and I haven’t learned anything. Getting older hasn’t made me any wiser. Without acting, I would have been a misfit.”
