List of Famous Female Movie Stars – K to P
I’m a lot of fun on a date– reckons Academy Award winner, Diane Keaton
The American actress, who was born Diane Hall in 1946, certainly appealed to Woody Allen’s sense of humor. He cast her in many of his films – including Annie Hall which won her an Oscar for Best Actress in 1977 – and ended up dating her. She also had romantic attachments to other big Hollywood names like Warren Beatty and Al Pacino. She deals confidently with ageing claiming “I need to be authentic” and is against plastic surgery. Cosmetic company L’Oréal seems to agree since they chose her as their new face in 2006. Find out more about her and other famous movie stars in the ADDucation list below.
