ANNIE HALL IS 60# FOR PREMIERE
MAGAZINE
|
|
In its April
issue, Premiere Magazine presents
a charts of the 100 greatest performances
of all time. According to the magazine, Diane
Keaton deserves the 60 place for her great performance
as Annie Hall. Here is the
article about her:
N°
60 ) Diane Keaton as Annie Hall // Annie Hall (1977).
"It's hard to play ditzy. Though Annie Hall's now ubiquitous
"La-di-da, la-di-da, la-la" may seem like a toss away
line, there's a self-consciousness to the way in which it's
tossed. The genius of Annie is that despite her loopy backhand,
awful driving, and nervous tics, she's also a complicated, intelligent
woman. Keaton brilliantly displays this dichotomy of her character,
especially when she yammers away on a first date with Alvy (Woody
Allen) while the subtitle reads, "He probably thinks I'm
a yoyo". Yo-yo ? Hardly."

DIANE AT "OPRAH WINFREY
SHOW"
|
|
On
March 3, 2006 Diane was at the
"Oprah" show during the special "The All-Time
Greats of Oscar® Night". Here are some extracts of their
conversation: |
|
 Diane
on what the Oscar means to her:
Diane
admits she keeps her Oscar® statuette
stored in the closet, but that's no reflection of how much
she values the enormous opportunities it's afforded her.
One golden benefit that's close to her heart are the friendships
she's formed over the years with co-stars, such as the
great Walter Matthau, and one of her favorite leading men of all
time, Jack Nicholson. Diane
says winning the Oscar has also allowed her to pursue an off-screen
passion—restoring the Spanish colonial architecture of southern
California. One home Diane refurbished was featured in Architectural
Digest, and she's currently writing a book
on the subject. "Do you think that
would have happened to me if I hadn't been in Annie Hall and won
the Academy Award?" she asks.
"Of course not. Never!"
|
|
 The
Oscars then and now:
The men's shirts and ties Diane wore in Annie Hall started a unisex
fashion craze—a suitable legacy for an actress known for
her eclectic style, on and off the red carpet. Diane
says Oscar® attendees have always put a lot of thought into
their dress—but it's only recently that the red carpet has
become a production of such "machine"-like proportions.
Diane says that in 1977 designers weren't beating down actress's
doors with dozens of gowns—she remembers
going to the store to pick out her own outfit. Two
years earlier, when Diane was presenting
the 1975 Best Director Oscar to Milos Forman for One Flew
Over the Cuckoo's Nest, she drove herself
to the Oscars and parked her Volkswagen in the garage!

 Diane
on motherhood and aging:
Diane
is the proud mother of two, a 5-year-old
son, Duke, and a 10-year-old daughter, Dexter, both of whom she
adopted in her 50s. She says she's more
concerned with how aging will affect her children—not
her career. "I think about [aging]
in relation to my kids a lot," she says. "I've
got to be healthy. … I worry about them if something happens.
I'm a single parent like so many women in this world, and all
the responsibility falls on me." Hollywood
pressures weigh less heavily on Diane—she
says she's wary of jumping on the plastic surgery bandwagon.
"The reason I haven't is because
I'd like to go out authentic," she says.
|
|
 Diane
on her handsome Hollywood co-stars:
One of the perks of being an Academy Award®-winning actress
is getting to work with some of Hollywood's hottest leading men.
During her distinguished career, Diane has starred opposite actors
like Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Mel Gibson and Keanu Reeves.
When
Oprah asks Diane to describe Jack Nicholson,
her co-star in Something's Gotta Give, she just can't hide her
true feelings. "Here's the thing
about Jack. I love him. He's the man I love…but he doesn't
feel that way about me," she laughs. More
than 20 years ago, Diane worked with screen legend Warren
Beatty on the film Reds. During that time, she says Warren
really figured her out. Once Warren told her,
"'Diane, you are a late developer.' And that's exactly what
I am!" she says. As
for Keanu Reeves, who played her
younger love interest in Something's Gotta Give, "I'm
going to marry him," Diane says with a grin.
One
of Diane's most memorable movie kisses was from Mel
Gibson during the 1984 filming of Mrs. Soffel. "I
kept playing that [kiss] over and over in my mind for a year,"
she says. "Let me tell you about
movie kisses, okay? … They're why I became an actress!"

 Diane's
plans for Oscar night 2006:
Like
millions of movie buffs around the world, Diane says she's always
excited to watch the Academy Awards®—even when she's
not nominated. On the big night, Diane predicts
a win for Best Actress nominee Reese Witherspoon, who she
directed in the TV movie Wildflower in the early 90's.
"[Reese is] a vulnerable, sexy, amazing, deeply realized,
beautiful woman in [Walk the Line]," she says.
"The thing about Walk the Line
is it makes you really feel that love can conquer all." When
you tune into the 78th Annual Academy Awards, don't expect to
see Diane walking the red carpet or schmoozing with celebrities
at a glitzy gala. Diane plans to watch the
drama unfold on television like everyone else! "I like
to share it with my very close friends and really have fun,"
she says. |

DIANE AND CRAIG T. BEST
GROWN-UP LOVE STORY
|
|
Proving
you’re never too old for awards, AARP
The Magazine presented its Movies
For Grown-ups Awards at a gala dinner at the Hotel Bel-Air
in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Although this is the fifth MFG Awards,
(who knew?) it's the first time the mag has held an actual event
in L.A. for their annual kudos.
Brian J.
White, who accepted the best grownup love
story award for “The Family Stone” costars Craig
T. Nelson and Diane Keaton, told the audience that Nelson
and Keaton would love to have been there to accept the award
but, "It's 10 p.m. and they’re already asleep.”

DIANE FAREWELL TO
THE AMBASSADOR HOTEL |
|
Guests
and active supporters of the Los Angeles
Conservancy as Diane Keaton, Nicolas Cage, CA State Senator
Gil Cedillo, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa...met on
Feb. 2 for a farewell to The Ambassador Hotel and remembrance
for its role as one of Los Angeles' and America's most remarkable
landmarks.
Actress/photographer/conservancy
activist Diane Keaton shamed L.A.'s news reporters for failing
to write compellingly enough about the Ambassador's 20-year
decay to prevent the hotel's demolition and recalled (with characteristic
Annie Hall wiftiness) seeing the sunset cast the shadow of the
skeleton on 7th Street buildings as the bulldozers and cranes
did their worst. Here are some photos
of the event (Source: GettyImages)
