    Diane Keaton dies at 79

    Keaton rose to fame in the 1970s thanks to her role in The Godfather films and her collaborations with director Woody Allen. She won an Oscar for Best Actress for 1977's Annie Hall. Her long career included movies like The First Wives Club, multiple collaborations with director Nancy Meyers and the Book Club franchise.

    The actress was born in Los Angeles in 1946 as Diane Hall, and was the oldest of four children. Her father was a civil engineer, while her mom stayed at home.

    Still, Keaton thought her mother dreamed of something bigger. "Secretly in her heart of hearts she probably wanted to be an entertainer of some kind," the actress told PEOPLE in 2004. "She sang. She played the piano. She was beautiful. She was my advocate..."

    Was Diane Keaton related to Michael Keaton? Were any of these two Hollywood stars related to the old movie star, Buster Keaton?

    My wife never liked her as a actress, not that her opinion matters to Hollywood but just thought I'd tell everyone
