The Life of 70s Film Icon Diane Keaton

In the late 1980s, she begins focusing seriously on architecture and home restoration, developing an interest that becomes a defining part of her life outside acting. She is especially drawn to early California design and historic preservation.

She later described the process as deeply personal, saying she was “obsessed” with houses. Rather than simply owning property, she studies architectural history and takes an active role in redesign and renovation, treating homes as creative projects rather than investments.
