Keaton is Hollywood's sixtysomething envoy to the world of romantic comedies and Exhibit A whenever the industry counters the claim that it sends aging actresses out to pasture.

Diane Hall was raised in LA and dropped out of college to move to New York. In 1968, she became an understudy in Hair; not long after, she met Woody Allen, who cast her in his 1969 production Play it Again, Sam. Although playing Kay Adams, girlfriend of Michael Corleone in The Godfather, is generally considered Keaton's breakthrough role, she became a household name largely due to her relationship with Allen in '70s. Keaton starred in a slew of his movies, most notably the semi-autobiographical 1977 classic Annie Hall in which she displayed the bumbling, stammering delivery that's become her trademark. Keaton's collaboration with Allen ended with Manhattan and she later took up with Warren Beatty during 1981's Reds. Her subsequent films in the mid-'80s were underwhelming, but she made a comeback in 1996's megahit The First Wives Club and frothy middle-age rom coms like 2003's Something's Gotta Give.

The hybrid-driving liberal has donated thousands to Democratic candidates over the years, and occasionally spouts half-coherent political musings on the Huffington Post. Keaton is a vocal opponent of plastic surgery, and although she's never been married, she's certainly dated plenty of famous men: Warren Beatty, Woody Allen, and Al Pacino are among her exes. She adopted two children while in her 50s. [Image via Getty]
