Fourth Estate has signed up a memoir from actress Diane Keaton, best known for playing the title character in the 1977 Woody Allen film "Annie Hall". Editorial director Clare Reihill acquired UK and British Commonwealth rights in a deal with Random House US and will publish in 2012.
Keaton will talk about her relationships with actors including Woody Allen, Warren Beatty and Al Pacino, as well as about her mother, who died from Alzheimers last September. Reihill said: "What we can expect is a memoir that will be as touching, funny and iconic as its author, an illumination of an ordinary girl's journey to become an extraordinary woman, and the defining relationship that made it all possible."
Keaton began to write the book soon after her mother died last year. "Diane began to reflect on both their lives—their commonalities and their differences, the dreams they each realised and the dreams they deferred," Reihill said.
