Diane Keaton Shared What She Valued in Rare Interview 4 Years Before Her Death

Indeed, although Diane—who was mom to kids Dexter, 29, and Duke, 25, through adoption—fostered a legendary acting career with credits in Book Club, The Family Stone and Annie Hall, the latter of which she won the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the 50th Annual Academy Awards, she had a much more humble view of what made her happy with life—and herself. 

After all, when Ariana Grande also asked Diane in the same interview how she felt being “so f–king iconic,” the Because I Said So star demurred. 

“It’s hard for me to deal with that,” Diane admitted. “I don’t really see it that way. I live with myself and I’m hardly iconic. I get up in the morning and it’s me again. I’m just another person saying, ‘Gee, I’d better feed the dog.’”
