Woody Allen's romantic comedy Annie Hall (1977) was a cinematic landmark for countless reasons, including its wry, absurdist script and Allen's long-suffering character, while also perfectly capturing the sensibilities of New York and Los Angeles. But it wouldn't have worked without Keaton's brilliant, dizzying and touching performance as Annie.

While Keaton received rave reviews for her comic performance in Annie Hall, she also earned critical praise for her dramatic performance in Finding Mr. Goodbar (here with Richard Gere) as a young woman with a self-destructive hit at singles bars.

After Woody Allen's public breakup with Farrow, Keaton returned to direct Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993). In a comic thriller about a pair of amateur sleuths investigating the mysterious disappearance of a neighbor, they acted as if Annie Hall and Alvy Singer were an “old married couple”, with the same enthusiasm as their previous screen colleagues.
