She got her first major stage role in the Broadway rock musical ‘Hair’. As understudy to the lead, she gained attention by not removing any of her clothing. In 1970, Woody Allen cast her in his Broadway play ‘Play It Again, Sam’, which had a successful run. It was during this time that she became involved with Allen and appeared in a number of his films. The first one was ‘Play It Again, Sam’ (1972), the screen adaptation of the stage play. That same year Francis Ford Coppola cast her as Kay in the Oscar-winning ‘The Godfather’ (1972) and she was on her way to stardom. She reprised that role in the film's first sequel, ‘The Godfather: Part II’ (1974). She then appeared with Allen again in ‘Sleeper’ (1973) and Love and Death (1975). In 1977 Keaton broke from away from her comedy image and stared in the unsettling ‘looking for Mr. Goodbar’ this performance won her a golden globe. It was the same year that she appeared in what many regard as her best performance, in the title role of ‘Annie Hall’ (1977), which Allen wrote specifically for her as her real last name is Hall, and her nickname is Annie. She won the Oscar and the British Award for Best Actress. She started a fashion trend with her unisex clothes and was the poster girl for a lot of young males. Her mannerisms and awkward speech became almost a national craze. She then became involved with another director and stared in some of his movies also. Diane began directing when she wasn’t doing much work as an actress. She directed the documentary ‘Heaven’ (1987), as well as some music videos. For television she directed an episode of the popular, but strange, ‘Twin Peaks’ (1990).
