Dorothy Hall (Diane's mother)

"ANNIE HALL. I only saw Diane, her mannerisms, expressions, dress, hair, etc., the total her. The story took second place. When she sang, 'It Had to Be You' in a room full of talk and confusion, I fought back tears. But the song 'Seems Like Old Times' was the hard one to take; so tender. I was exploding inside. I tried to hold it all back. She looked beautiful. Gordon Willis did a very great job on the photography. She chose her own clothes and the gray T-shirt and baggy pants were 'down home' for sure. Annie Hall is a love story. It seemed real. Annie's camera in hand, her gum chewing, her lack of confidence, pure Diane. The story was tender, funny, and sad. It ended in separation, just like real life."

--Dorothy Hall, Diane's mother, quoted in
  Then Again, by Diane Keaton
