No pressure but would you like to read about my never-forgotten memory of actress Diane Keaton?



I was taken aback with sadness last night reading of Diane Keaton's death. An amazingly talented actress to me.


When I was in high school, director Richard Brooks' movie "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," starring Keaton, was released. My parents knew I was always very much involved/interested in all forms of fine arts.

Up to that point in my life, I had NEVER seen such RAVE critical reviews of an actor's/actress' performance as I had reading about her performance in the movie. The movie was rated "R," so I needed an 'official' adult to go with me.
I asked Dad to take me, "Dad, I'd like to see her performance." We went.

The movie (very much appropriately rated, ha!) - - and Keaton -- literally took my breath away. I then read Judith Rossner's book, on which the movie was based. Great book, too.


I'll always be thankful to Diane Keaton for pulling me into the experiences.
