Celebrities You Never Knew Changed Their Names

Diane Keaton – Real Name: Diane Hall

 

Diane Keaton (born Diane Hall) is an actress and filmmaker who rose to prominence in eccentric comedic parts before establishing herself as a dramatic performer. In Hollywood, stage names are prevalent for a variety of reasons. One possibility is that, as with Diane Keaton, someone else in the Actors’ Equity Association has already claimed the name.

When she attempted to join the AEA, she was told that she needed to alter her name because it was already taken by another. Her mother’s maiden name was Keaton, so she went with it. In 2020, she appeared in the film “Love, Weddings, and Other Disasters.”
