249. Diane Keaton in 'Annie Hall'

249. Diane Keaton in 'Annie Hall'

Diane Keaton died over the weekend at the age of 79, and it's been fascinating to read her various obituaries and memories of her being shared. Also interesting to contemplate what a singular presence she was for more than 50 years on stage and screen.

'Annie Hall' won Diane Keaton her only Academy Award, although she was also nominated for 'Reds', 'Marvin's Room' and 'Something's Gotta Give', which shows you the range she had as an actor. Revisiting here was a pleasure and reminded me of what we've lost as a movie-going culture of late. Smart, funny comedies that don't talk down to an audience but also play as mass entertainments seem in such short supply, as do superlative onscreen personalities like Diane Keaton. This quickie episode isn't mean to be expansive or complete..just an excuse to watch one of her most famous roles in a film named after her character and drawn from her real-life romance with Woody Allen some years before the film was made.
