In 1969, Woody Allen cast her in his play Play It
Again, Sam, which won her a Tony Award as Featured
Dramatic Actress. During her run in the play,
Hollywood came calling and Keaton made her film
debut in 1970 in the film Lovers and Other
Strangers. 

Her big break came when she was cast in Francis
Ford Coppola's blockbuster The Godfather (1972)
(she also appeared in the sequel). Around this
time, she became romantically involved with Woody
Allen and has played eccentric characters in
several of his comic films including Annie Hall
(1977) (in which she won the Academy Award for
Best Actress that year), but has also won acclaim
in roles such as in Looking for Mr. Goodbar
(1977), Marvin's Room (1996),  and Mrs. Soffel
(1984).  She later had a relationship with Warren
Beatty, with whom she also appeared on screen in
Reds (1981) (and got nominated for an Academy
Award and Golden Globe). 

Keaton has also proven herself as a director. She
directed the 1987 documentary Heaven, a few music
videos for artists such as Belinda Carlisle, two
TV movies starring Patricia Arquette, and episodes
of China Beach and Twin Peaks before directing her
first feature film, Unstrung Heroes in 1995. She
has also directed two other movies: Mother's
Helper in 1999 and Hanging Up in 2000 (which she
also starred in). 

Keaton, who has never married, has adopted two
children.  Since May 2005 she has been a
contributing blogger at The Huffington Post.
