Diane Keaton literally and figuratively wears many hats.

Keaton: ‘No one has ever called me an icon’

Despite her notable career, Keaton found it surprising to learn she’d been called one. During a July 2019 interview with InStyle, when asked how she handles being referred to as such, she said it had been a completely new experience. 

“Well, this word “icon” is new to me. No one has ever called me an icon,” she said. “I guess with time you call people an icon because they’ve been around for a long time. That’s an icon for you.”
