Actor: Diane Keaton

Diane Keaton won Best Actor in a Leading Role for Annie Hall, a character named partly after her, whose halting delivery and clothes were substantially her own.

The Godfather films gave her Kay, a role that requires her to be the audience’s outsider across two films and to make the final door closing land.

Reds, Marvin’s Room and Something’s Gotta Give earned further nominations, and she has moved comfortably between comedy and serious drama for five decades.

She has directed several films and is a serious architectural preservationist, having published books on the subject.
