Let me tell you a story about Diane Keaton, a true Hollywood icon. You know her for her incredible filmography, from "Annie Hall" to "Something's Gotta Give," but did you know she had dreams of being a cheerleader? That's right, folks. Before she graced our screens with her unforgettable performances, Diane was hoping to kick up her heels in a completely different arena. Imagine that—Diane Keaton in a cheerleading uniform!
Keaton's Unconventional Path to Fame
Back in 2019, the 73-year-old legend was at the STX Entertainment presentation during CinemaCon in Las Vegas. She was there to talk about her upcoming film, Poms, which features a group of older women who form a cheerleading squad in their retirement community. But here’s the twist—Diane actually tried out for a cheerleading squad when she was younger. Can you picture it? The Oscar-winning actress attempting to be a cheerleader? It's a fascinating glimpse into her early life, isn't it?
Now, here's the kicker—her cheerleading attempt didn't exactly go as planned. “It didn’t go well,” she joked, showing off her famously skinny legs. "If I show you my legs, you’ll see why. There’s no strength in these legs. I was really grateful I had a lot of time to work on it for the movie." Diane has been in so many films, and her role in "Annie Hall" remains one of her most memorable performances. But it wasn't all smooth sailing.

The Journey to Becoming a Film Icon
When reminded of all the films she’s been in, Diane quipped, “Why am I not richer though?” She laughed, adding, “I’m worried about that. Just being in those movies is kind of like a dream. You know how many movies I’ve been in? 68. Isn’t that insane?! That’s a lot of movies.” When asked how she managed to be in so many projects, she revealed, “The thread has been that I got the job. I have accepted every job that I’ve been offered my entire career.”
