The Life of 70s Film Icon Diane Keaton

In 2000, she directs Hanging Up, a film based on the novel by Delia Ephron and Nora Ephron, starring Meg Ryan, Lisa Kudrow, and Walter Matthau. The story focuses on three sisters dealing with their father’s decline.

The project continues her interest in family dynamics and emotional complexity. While reviews are mixed, the film reinforces her commitment to directing as an ongoing part of her career rather than a side project, showing her continued exploration of storytelling beyond acting.
