Diane Keaton, Oscar-winning actress known for her roles in “Annie Hall” and “The First Wives Club,” had aspirations beyond her acting career.
The late actress, who passed away on Oct. 11, had a lifelong dream of being a singer, and less than a year before her passing, she released her first original song.
Keaton’s single, “First Christmas,” debuted in November 2024, when the actress was 78 years old. This week, the song entered the Billboard “Digital Song Sales” chart at No. 22, earning Keaton her first solo entry on the charts.
Creating music was something Keaton was thinking about several decades before releasing “First Christmas.”
“I had a fantasy of being a nightclub singer that I carried through even into my early 20s,” Keaton said in 2014 in an interview with film critic Richard Crouse.
