Its director remembers her energy, fearlessness and effortless authenticity on setDiane Keaton had been an icon since before I was even born; who was I to direct her? To fill her head with my dialogue? To give her a note, suggesting: “It might be even funnier if you tried ”?And yet, as she towered over me in sky-high Gucci platform booties, she never made me feel even one inch less tall as I guided her through what would wind up being her final film.
