Diane Keaton has had many high profile relationships but she has never been engaged or married. The Godfather actress said she found her happiness parenting her two adoptive children without a father figure.
She now says she looks forward to becoming a grandmother. Diane Keaton is an acclaimed actress and has won many awards namely, two Golden Globes, an Academy Award and a British Academy Film Award. Born on January 5, 1946 in Los Angeles, California she has always been enthusiastic about acting.
Diane Keaton in The Godfather
She starred in her first film Lovers and Other Strangers in 1970. Two years later she appeared in The Godfather which was her biggest role. In 1977 she was hailed as a major success in Annie Hall. The film received numerous awards as well.
Despite having romance in life, she never got married. She also confessed that she has not been on a date for many many years but she has been linked with big Hollywood stars in the past. Among them Woody Allen, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty.
Diane Keaton told Katie Couric, “I think the reason I didn’t get married was because I would have to compromise too much. I wanted to try more adventurous things for myself.” She also depreciatingly said that no one actually did ask her to marry them.
“No one ever asked me [to marry them]. I think they got to know me and realized, ‘Oh jeez’ I hog conversations, I laugh too hard. Maybe I did miss out on something. But then, nobody can have everything right?”
However this didn’t stop her from venturing into motherhood at 50. In 1996 she adopted her first child, daughter Dexter and in 2001 she adopted a boy, her son Duke.
Never married
Diane Keaton also thinks that perhaps another reason she chose never to get married was because of her mother who she felt gave up her independence for her.
“I mentioned watching her get that crowning glory and being Mrs Highland Park. After that, we moved down to Santa Ana, and it was over. I feel like she chose family over her dreams… but I honk that she is the reason why I didn’t get married. I didn’t want to give up my independence.”
With her married daughter and a son who both constantly support her in life, Keaton looks forward to playing the role of a doting grandmother soon.
