Diane Keaton shares working experience with Woody Allen
Diane Keaton has recently felt “proud beyond measure” over working with movie-maker Woody Allen in spite of sexual abuse allegations.
In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Keaton was questioned if the sexual claims levelled against Allen by his adoptive daughter or “other controversies” had impacted the “work they did it together”.
To this, Keaton responded, “No. I’m proud. I’m proud beyond
measure.”
Keaton, who worked with Allen in several movies
including Radio Days, Manhattan, Sleeper, Annie Hall etcetera, was also
asked to choose one movie that “stuck” with her.
“The first Woody
Allen movie (Play It Again, Sam). That’s it,” said the 77-year-old.
The
Book Club star continued, “I was in it, I had lines. I was just totally
surprised by that.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Keaton also
confessed about her anxiety after working with amazing artists such as
Allen, Nancy Meyers and Goldie Hawn.
“No, it’s anxiety,” stated the May I Do actress. “
The
Mad Money actress also pointed out, “You’re worried. If it’s the director or
somebody who you’re acting with who’s amazing, it’s worrying. ‘How will this
match that …? Can I do …? What am I …? Oh, dear.’”
Keaton further
disclosed, “You just worry quite a bit until it gets easier. I’m sure that
most everybody has felt that way.”
“With Goldie and Bette
[Midler], on that one particular movie [The First Wives Club], that was
interesting, and I remember feeling always kind of anxious and a little
worried on that one,” she added.
