The Life of 70s Film Icon Diane Keaton

In 1987, she stars in Baby Boom, playing a high-powered New York executive whose life is upended when she unexpectedly inherits a baby. The film presents her in a more accessible, mainstream comedic role.

The movie becomes a commercial success and introduces her to a broader audience. It also reframes her screen image, shifting her from primarily New Hollywood roles into a relatable, modern female lead navigating career and family pressures.
