DIANE KEATON’S SLANT ON LIFE; Page 92
A study in star charm, acting versatility and professional longevity, Diane Keaton has forged a unique path in life and work. She talks to More’s Margy Rochlin about her mother, her adopted children, and her career: “Being an actress is an interesting adventure because it has been up and down. Sometimes I’m marginalized; sometimes you can’t avoid me.” In fact, Keaton is straightforward about her love life, having forever closed the book on getting hitched: “I’m attracted to men, and I love playing around with them. But a life shared together? That’s a different world. You have to be somebody who can compromise and be realistic. I could never do it. Ever.”
