Diane Keaton hasn't had a date in 35 years

And it shows. But I loved her work, 35 years ago.

That's also the last time she wore a skirt.

She is still attractive, for her age. She could get dates if she wanted to.

It's not that unusual. Fire to ashes.

I always thought she was a lesbian.

Someone on DL who claimed to be in the know said she had a gurlfriend in LA. Some real estate person.

But if she had and it was an open secret how come it never leaked.

[quote]She is still attractive, for her age. She could get dates if she wanted to.

Of course she could. Rich. Famous. Funny. Attractive.

r3 She just said men never ask her out. I agree that she looks well but that isn't the same thing as being desired. I think it's great that she's so alright with not hiding that fact.

Years ago the rumor was she was dating Sarah Paulson.

If you think about it.

Anne Hall - which was biographical, they broke up because she didn't like the fucking PLUS all the men's clothes...

You do the math.

Diane gave the most sad and touching speech at Warren Beatty's AFI tribute. It was almost too intimate. She had a lot of issues with herself and her body and intimacy. Woody Allen doesn't write fiction. It's cool that she's an honest grown woman who kept it together and has a sense of humor about herself. She's a pretty old dame. I wish she'd shake herself out of those horrible films she makes now. Play someone monstrous or very sexual. Or Kate Hepburn for that matter.

Maybe she can hook up with Jane Fonda. I keep waiting for her to get a girlfriend.

[quote]She just said men never ask her out. I agree that she looks well but that isn't the same thing as being desired. I think it's great that she's so alright with not hiding that fact.

I remember Morgan Fairchild saying this exact same thing many years ago. She said that people would be surprised how much she DIDN'T date mostly because guys didn't ask her out -- she said the assumption was always that someone like her "must be already taken," so no one would bother approaching her.

She goes on Ellen - and they claim to be great "friends", but they've never been to each other's houses.

She's annoying on Ellen all the giggling and promoting her wine.

[quote]she said the assumption was always that someone like her "must be already taken," so no one would bother approaching her.

A load of bullshit and waffle.

So when she filmed "Baby Boom" she had been dateless for 3 years already at that point? Wow.

To call her high maintenance is putting it mildly. Any rich, smart, successful man who would be running in her circle or in contention to date a Hollywood legend can probably bag a dozen great women without Keaton's two tons of literal and cultural baggage.

[quote]I wish she'd shake herself out of those horrible films she makes now.

She's made horrible films for far longer than she made good films.

Her nipples got hard for Bieber.

Asexual.

We haven't had a Goodbar thread in AGES!

I guess it's played itself out.

She dated Al Pacino off and on through the 70s and 80s, and some sites say they finally broke up while shooting The Godfather, Part III in 1989, so that would be 30 years, but I guess the relationship ended earlier, if she says 35.

The only one who could handle her as a partner is F. McDormand.

She hasn't had a good movie in about 35 years either.

[quote]She hasn't had a good movie in about 35 years either.

32 years - her last good movie was "Baby Boom" in 1987.

Marvin's Room was good, or at least she's great in it. I've also talked to a few young woman who were influenced by the First Wives Club.

Maybe she's got a great dildo and that's all she needs to be happy?

First Wives Club is the last Diane Keaton movie I think I actually enjoyed.

I think she's exaggerating for the sake of humor. Her interviews are always rather performative. After all, the implication is that she hasn't had sex since she was 38, which is hella early to close up shop for most women. If she isn't joking or closeted, she's asexual.

Diane Keaton = Incel??

Exactly, @R27 she’s exaggerating. No matter what she looks like wealthy females always have HOBO-SEXUAL males asking them out. If you don’t know what that means those are broke ass homeless str8 guys who play women.

What she should’ve said is she turns down to toy boys but we all know she’s a closeted lesbian.

The Bieber moment is disturbing.

Well I've got her beat on that...

Well I've got her beat on that...

She totally dated Sarah Paulson. There's no doubt in my mind, way too much photographic "evidence". They seemed to be each others "dates" for years. Sarah Paulson moving on and having an out relationship with Holland Taylor sealed it even further.

r12 so these hot woman decided to just let time pass them by instead of taking the initiative and ask a guy out themselves? I've seen woman give guys hints, and it's they aren't some awkward dork, they will typically chat up an interested woman which leads to dates. These woman must put on the aloof or cold exteriors that gave off the not available signal.

Case in point, JLO would be intimidating for men to approach, so she went up to Alex Rodriguez to introduce herself. Now she has an evenly matched partner. You've gotta put yourself out there a bit if your in these celebrity spheres, most men won't say no. Or. you can wait 35 years, not that Diane was complaining.

She hasn't been in a decent movie for almost along either.

Why is she obsessed with covering her neck...actual

I love Diane Keaton. So I happen to know that she likes to cover every inch of her body. She'll wear a skirt, but only with dark tights, she likes a blazer or a turtle neck, if not - then a scarf. She often wears gloves. She prefers very full skirts that flare and poof out, but loves to cinch her waist with a wide belt, even over a coat. Loves a beret or a fedora. She had a great figure, beautiful legs and obviously wears clothes well. She's eccentric, affected and neurotic. Trifecta. She wears mostly all neutral colours but will throw in a pattern on the bottom. Diane Keaton in Baby Boom in all those Armani suits looked like a million bucks. That was wardrobe. She was like Hepburn in woman of the year. (long before my time:) One of the great flaws of Keaton's performances in the last 20 years is that she always dresses like HERSELF, no matter who she is playing. And herself is just too distinct and odd.

Diane's problem has always been her horribly insecure, needy, neurotic personalty. God, to be around that for 10 hrs a day would drive me absolutely crazy. R15 has good points, though I think Diane should be long over her teen-20s body obsessions.

Jesus, she’s a DYKE!

Sarah is a Grandmother Fucker

So all the banter between her and Ellen DeGeneres on the latter's show about her heterosexual (non)-dating life could be just an in-joke between two lezzies?

Diane Keaton is not a lesbian. Neither is Candice Bergen, Or Oprah. Or Wynona. Why do people always write that crap on here? And why write it as some insult anyway? What's wrong with being a lesbian?

R42 listen ya old Dyke, it’s not an insult it is simply said as ammunition to public bull Dykes who won’t come clean with their pussy munchies love. Check the threads on closeted gay men it’s worse. Chill your granny panties and go change the Harley’s oil!

Liberace wasn't gay either.

Get the ancient faggotty fag at R43 throwing around terms like Bull Dyke!! We aren't all 75 years old here gramps.

R45 is ripe now at 63yo

I'll ask her out if she promises to wear her top hat.

A pointless Diane Keaton thread is not the place for a bitchfest. Have some dignity.

R42, you seem to think there's something wrong. Diane Keaton, Candice Bergen and Oprah should be proud to be lesbians.

Datalounge gossip claimed that Diane Keaton was a goldstar lesbian before meeting Woody Allen.

I wonder what Diane Keaton makes of Mia Farrow, and vice-versa.

I wonder what Diane Keaton thought when she found out Pacino was having twins with Beverly D'Angelo. Beverly also took over Diane's role in Hair for the film. And... Beverly D'Angelo's first role was in Annie Hall.

R51 Diane continues to publicly support Woody so I'm sure she's on Mia's shitlist.

Diane is Woody's friend. She gave great commentary in the American Master's 4 hour documentary on him and he made a rare appearance to present her with her AFI award. He roasted her. Good for them both. Woody is not a criminal and loyalty is rare. She has nothing to apologize for.

R52, Diane must have said "holy shit!" since Beverly D'Angelo is known to be a bi-polar part time lesbian.

r34, are you ever going to learn the difference between woman (singular) and women (plural)? You keep doing it all over the site.

R51 I remember reading in an older article that back when they were together Mia was pissed that Woody still had some of Diane Keaton's stuff ( like ten years after their break up) and didn't want to get rid of it and couldn't understand why Mia had a problem with that. Diane said in an interview that her and Mia were friendly but never friends.

Remember the time Diane Keaton asked Lens Dunham if she was a lesbian? Diane didn't even know who Lens was. What an odd question to ask a total stranger. I always thought Diane was attracted to Lens and wanted to eat her snatch.

[quote] I always thought Diane was attracted to Lens and wanted to eat her snatch.

I've honestly never thought of anyone of any sexuality being attracted to Lens.

That clip of her and Sarah was so fucking stupid. And they were leaving a Miley Cyrus concert with what looked like a crowd of teenagers. So young and hip!!

Dykey Diane

R56, you're making a good point, but you're wasting it on a troll. Call out R57 instead - that thing didn't pass middle school English class.

Diane Keaton hasn't had a date in 35 years ?

Maybe it's because she dresses like a witch.

[quote] I wish she'd shake herself out of those horrible films she makes now. Play someone monstrous or very sexual.

You Americans don't accept people growing old, I've noticed. You always want them to do YOUNG things.

Some old actress of 82 "She should be given a new show!" and on it goes...

"Go for the Burn, Bernie!" He's seventy fucking EIGHT!!

R64, they don't KNOW about anyone getting older. The DL population expects 70 year olds to be like 25 year olds.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Nope, it's not that I think Diane Keaton should play a younger role.

It's that Diane Keaton movies have lots of Diane Keaton clichés:

(a) She will wear hats, belts, glasses, suits, and ties (b) Smoking (c) Diane Keaton being overbearing and insensitive to the needs and desires of others (d) Awkward sex (e) Indecisiveness (f) Her character will engage in an activity she hasn't done in a long time (cheerleading, dating, reading dirty novels, e.g.)

I too would like to see Diane Keaton play someone monstruous or very sexual.

Sarah Paulson looks very cute. Never seen her in my life.

They said Keanu was hanging around her when they made Something's Got To Give.

R70

Are you surprised? Just look at her.

R72 no, she gorgeous. I think they are both gay. Beards

[quote] She's eccentric, affected and neurotic.

She's very sensible not to date, then. More eccentrics should do this.

She's asexual and just not interested.

She had to fuck ugly dorky Woody Allen to get ahead, ffs.

Maaaaybe she really loved Pacino and that was it for her.

But she has fame and tons of money. She doesn't have to sell herself to a man like other asexual women do.

She was engaged in a codependent relationship with her alcoholic brother for years. She bought him a liver (he should never had received a liver transplant due to inability to remain sober). I was at the UCLA when the brother was brought in a few months after surgery, off the transplant meds and very intoxicated. She was fussing over him like he was a naughty child.

R39 I have a very solid gaydar and she just doesn't ping. Asexual seems to be more fitting, despite photographic "evidence". There's zero chemistry in those photos between her and Sarah.

Sarah, if you're reading this and laughing your ass off because I'm wrong, c'est la vie.

Like sisters.

[quote]despite photographic "evidence". There's zero chemistry in those photos between her and Sarah.

My solid gaydar begs to differ.

When Diane was involved with Warren Beatty during the filming of Reds, someone wrote that she couldn't understand why Warren would date "the ugliest woman in Hollywood." Diane isn't ugly, but her (seeming) inferiority complex and desperately needy thing makes her unattractive to many.

If you're over 40, attractive, rich and famous, you don't need "dates". you just call up the escort service and they send over whatever flavor and model strikes your fancy at the time. no fuss, no muss, endless variety and no bothersome publicity.

^ People are interested in companionship and relationships too, you know.

It was mentioned in another thread that Keaton suffers from eczema and that's why she covers up.

R77 there WAS a relationship between her and Sarah. I will leave it at that

she is probably insufferable to go out with

R85 neurotic.

R82, you don't need men for that

yes, r86, that too

R79 Nah. That's just Sarah being drawn to mommy types and Diane feeling happy someone, anyone, wants to stand next to her. No pings.

Honestly, people....she's just playing with words. How does she define a "date"? It doesn't mean she hasn't gotten laid, or had romances, or relationships....

So many bad, bad films. She’s been so fortunate with her looks and talent and (home) design sense. But goddamn she’s made some of the shittiest films ever made, like “Hanging Up”. I think she’s had some cool cars, though, a Land Rover Defender 110 and a few G-Wagons. I think she also wrote a book about clown paintings.

It’s possible that, like many celebrities with high profile pasts, peoples’ behavior around her is socially awkward or competitive. One longtime acquaintance of mine was really famous and still is intermittently (on anniversaries of films, and judging film festivals, things like that). She is now in her mid sixties and busies herself with projects and builds relationships mostly through them. In my time knowing her, I’ve seen several really odd interactions among people in her circle. Fame is a like a strange social condition in that it arouses bizarre social interactions and complicates friendships and intimacy.

[quote]Honestly, people....she's just playing with words. How does she define a "date"? It doesn't mean she hasn't gotten laid, or had romances, or relationships....

r90- But, how could it be "playing with words" to actually say she hasn't had sex in years and years (I think she said decades)? She wasn't playing with words, when you consider she's actually admitted she hasn't gotten laid in forever. So, there you go.

[quote]It’s possible that, like many celebrities with high profile pasts, peoples’ behavior around her is socially awkward or competitive.

They still manage to have relationships.

R76, you are the real deal.

I just googled Diane's brother and sure enough, Diane said that he had always suffered from mental health issues and was a big drinker.

He could never support himself and Diane's parents supported him, and now Diane does.

He is in a Assisted Living facility suffering from Dementia, and Diane's next book is about him-

R78, thank you for posting that photograph. I am R68. And my post stated "(a) She will wear hats, belts, glasses, suits, and ties ".

R84 OK, Sarah. :)

She's living her best life. Go Diane.

R52 Thanks for tha trivia!

Morons, she said she hasn't had a date in 35 years, not that she's celibate and hasn't had a fuck in 35 years. I would have thought that gay men of all people would understand one doesn't have to date to fuck.

She really loves those ridiculous weight-lifter belts. She wore them in just about every single scene in Because I Said So.

[quote]Morons, she said she hasn't had a date in 35 years, not that she's celibate and hasn't had a fuck in 35 years. I would have thought that gay men of all people would understand one doesn't have to date to fuck.

r98- Actually, go watch some of her interviews. She does say she hasn't had sex in years!

r68 Read this Guardian article

Good article, R101.

I guess they call it formula.

I'll be honest, I've had a massive crush on her for the past 25 years or so. Maybe she's too shy or guarded to go lesbian. She's very attractive.

What she and Sarah Paulson did publicly is called hiding in plain sight. I'm not sure it should be called hiding, even. And damn right they were.

There's an article in today's Washington Post about her showing up at a bookstore for a Q&A about her new book about her mentally-ill brother. I like Keaton a lot less now after reading that article.

r105- What about that article makes you like her less?

She hasn't dated a man in 35 years. She dresses like one, though.

R106 Learning about how she was dismissive of her brother for so many decades.

bump, for those among us who also haven't had a date in 35 years

It has always seemed obvious to me that she's a lesbian. Both of her kids are adopted, never been married, had a few public "relationships" with high-profile men (with whom she has retained friendships). She seems transparently gay to me.
