Bettmann (Bettmann Archive) Woody Allen and Diane Keaton in Annie Hall Although she had already starred in a box office hit such as ‘The Godfather’ in 1972, Diane Keaton became a global star in 1977, the year she starred in ‘Annie Hall’, directed by Woody Allen, for which she won her first Oscar (she ultimately won four), as well as a BAFTA and a Golden Globe. All the clothing in the film was designed by costume designer Ruth Morley; however, if Keaton's character's style was so close to what the actress herself wore off-screen, it was because there was a lot of herself in it. Many of the clothes she wore were hers in real life, and Morley took advice from this woman who already had a very particular idea about fashion.

United Artists (Getty Images) Diane Keaton In 'Annie Hall' Keaton dared to boldly reclaim oversized men's clothing and outdated items such as vests, clunky shoes, and “ugly” ties. It was unusual for chic women to rummage through boxes of used clothing, also known more euphemistically as “vintage” (that was more the domain of rockers and bohemian underground types), and she did so with an artistry that set a trend.

Tyler, an independent designer, was known in Los Angeles for his ability to create stunning evening gowns and impressive tuxedos. For Keaton, who was his personal friend, he made something halfway between the two (Tyler, who also regularly dressed Julia Roberts, is still alive but the shine on his business has long since faded).

Bettmann (Bettmann Archive) Diane Keaton Accepting Academy Award A year ago, the actress participated in a book titled Fashion First, published by Rizzoli and produced in collaboration with Ralph Lauren, in which she offered her views on fashion and discussed her own style choices, including her 1978 Oscar look. In it, she spoke about the recently deceased Giorgio Armani and her own mistake that night: "Giorgio dressed me in a look that honored my love of blazers and layers and even managed to remind me how much I love skirts. However, the decision to wear leggings... I think, now that I see them with the benefit of hindsight, that they were a little too eighties."

When she appeared alongside Woody Allen, it was clear how much her real personality resembled the archetype the director had created for her. As the filmmaker said in the obituary he published after the death of his brief partner and then friend for many years of his life: “Whether she was criticizing one of my films or a play by Shakespeare, she held them to the same standards. She had complete confidence in her own aesthetic judgment.” Keaton became a desirable subject for paparazzi looking for stylish stars (Ron Galella made entire albums of her outings on the streets of New York).

Keaton's image in those years was still far from the archetype of the sex bomb attributed to many actresses of her age and level of success. She did not renounce an intellectualized, bohemian, comfortable, and slightly masculine view of clothing.

This type of hat accompanied her throughout her life. On more than one occasion, she explained that her love of hats stemmed from her aversion to sunlight, which could damage her skin, as she had a chronic skin condition. In any case, she also wore them at night.

The three-time Oscar winner and 21-time nominee said that she had played so many “extraordinary people” during her life that she was occasionally taken for some of them. Beyond a certain confession of imposter syndrome, the actress also implied a simple truth. Streep — born in a small town in New Jersey — has played the likes of a farm owner in Africa, a fashion magazine and newspaper editor, a young separated mother, a chatty cook, a long-suffering housewife, a Holocaust survivor, a frustrated singer, a witch, a nun, a hotel owner in Greece and even a British prime minister. But on many occasions, she is often mistaken for these people, about whom so much literature has been written, who we have seen so many times in her performances. Since Streep is as private as her characters are public, little is known about her. So much so that no one knew she had been separated for more than six years from her husband of four decades, the sculptor Don Gummer, father of her four children.</p><p><a href="https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-10-22/meryl-streep-the-fascination-of-a-star-both-glittering-and-discreet.html" target="_blank">Seguir leyendo</a></p> https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-05-16/how-diane-keaton-outwitted-ageism-and-bad-reviews-to-still-reign-supreme-in-hollywood-at-77.html Tue, 16 May 2023 15:55:21 GMT https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-05-16/how-diane-keaton-outwitted-ageism-and-bad-reviews-to-still-reign-supreme-in-hollywood-at-77.html Eva Güimil With an unmistakable style and a freedom unheard of in the industry — she is one of the few stars who support Woody Allen — the actress is racking up projects and is about to release a film about falling in love after retirement With an unmistakable style and a freedom unheard of in the industry — she is one of the few stars who support Woody Allen — the actress is racking up projects and is about to release a film about falling in love after retirement Diane Keaton Woody Allen Hollywood Al Pacino Meryl Streep Amy Sussman (Getty Images) How Diane Keaton outwitted ageism and bad reviews to still reign supreme in Hollywood at 77 Diane Keaton at a Ralph Lauren fashion show in San Marino, California, in 2022.

In the viral clip, Michelle Pfeiffer, now 64, wields a whip in Tim Burton’s <i>Batman Returns</i> (1992) and, without the aid of special effects, uses her dexterity alone to tear the heads off four mannequins in a single take followed by a round of applause from the entire crew. The video’s virality demonstrates two things. First, it shows how intensely the actress prepared for a role that she was offered only after Annette Benning, Burton’s choice to play Catwoman, bowed out at the last minute because of her pregnancy. Second, it demonstrates Pfeiffer’s continued impact, despite the fact that, of late, she has only appeared on the big screen sporadically.</p><p><a href="https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-03-07/michelle-pfeiffer-i-didnt-set-out-to-stop-working-but-i-became-so-difficult-in-terms-of-my-prerequisites.html" target="_blank">Seguir leyendo</a></p> https://english.elpais.com/culture/2022-12-09/how-beverly-dangelos-divorce-led-to-her-relationship-with-al-pacino.html Fri, 09 Dec 2022 11:59:28 GMT https://english.elpais.com/culture/2022-12-09/how-beverly-dangelos-divorce-led-to-her-relationship-with-al-pacino.html Belén Hernández Hernández The actress told ‘People’ magazine how Lorenzo Salviati happily divorced her so that she could be with ‘The Godfather’ star The actress told ‘People’ magazine how Lorenzo Salviati happily divorced her so that she could be with ‘The Godfather’ star Al Pacino Ron Galella (Ron Galella Collection via Getty) Al Pacino and Beverly d'Angelo at a movie premiere in 1999.
