Diane Keaton RIP
Was watching one of her films this afternoon.
Super actress

I remember her role in Looking for Mr Dunbar was quite shocking when I watched it as a teenager. I still remember how I felt about it now and have never watched it again since. Based on a true story which made it even more poignant!

I think the film you are thinking of is actually -
"Looking for Mr. Goodbar".
 
I was in large part attracted to my wife because she looks like Diane Keaton. I loved her work. Annie Hall remains one of my very favo(u)rite films, as does Sleeper and of course The Godfathers (which I thought underused her) but she was in so many others that were great. Very very sad. RIP to a beautiful, talented woman.

Annie Hall, timeless.
RIP Diane.
 
Nice article by Peter Bradshaw...

"She was more than America’s sweetheart: Keaton was the sophisticated, sweet-natured, unaffectedly sensual woman with whom America was unrequitedly in love. Diane Keaton was out of America’s league".

America’s sweetheart was so much more than that: an actor of astonishing singularity and freshness who starred in the very best films of the past century

The Godfather trilogy, yeah? She was a pivotal figure in those films. Particularly the third one, which wasn't a great film.

I & II are for me the greatest movies ever made. Not necessarily my favourite movies although they are right up there on that score too; part of the group that I can still rewatch despite having seen them many times.

One of the very few instances where the sequel was better than the original. And the original was stunning. I just loved how, in the sequel, they integrated Vito's early life after leaving sicily for New York, and how his empire grew.

Drives my wife nuts, if I'm flicking channels and find either I or II I just get sucked in despite being virtually able to recite the dialogue. The screenplay, the acting, the cinematography, everything about them is special.

III not as bad as it's made out to be but not in the same league.
