Keaton studied acting at the Santa Ana College, but left the study at the age of nineteen after three semesters to begin a career in Manhattan. She had to change her name when she wanted to register with the Trade Union for actors, since there was already a registered Diane Hall and the trade union demands that, to avoid confusion, no two persons with the same name registered elements are permitted to stand. She chose the name "Keaton", the maiden name of her mother.

In New York she followed classes at the Neighborhood PlayhouseTheatre school. She was also during those years for short time singer. In 1968 she received a supporting role and was understudy for one of the lead roles in the successful Broadway-rock musical Hair. She got some notoriety as the only actress because she refused to undress on the moments that all actors were naked. In 1969 Woody Allen asked her to play in his play Play It Again, Sam. For this, she was nominated for the Tony Awardfor best drama actress. Around that time she got a relationship with Woody Allen. ===Film Career[ Edit] === While playing this play she got many offers from Hollywood and in 1970, she played her first film role in the comedy Lovers and Other Strangers. That same year, she appeared in a commercial for deodorant. Her big breakthrough came in 1972 when Francis Ford Coppola gave her the role of Kay Adams in The Godfather.

The film won the Academy Award for best picture, and Keaton won for her role the Academy Award for best actress.
