One of Keaton’s most iconic roles was in “Annie Hall,” as the infectious woman from Chippewa Falls whom Woody Allen’s Alvy Singer cannot get over. The film is considered one of the great romantic comedies of all time, with Keaton’s eccentric, self-deprecating Annie at its heart, though its staying power has been marred by the sexual assault allegations against Allen.
Keaton won an Oscar for her role, her only Academy Award win, though she was nominated three more times.

Keaton and Allen were also in a romantic relationship, from about 1968, when she met him while auditioning for his play, until about 1974. Afterward they remained collaborators and friends.
