Early life
[change | change source]Keaton was born on January 5, 1946 in Los Angeles, California.[1] Her mother, Dorothy Deanne (née Keaton; 1921–2008), was a homemaker and amateur photographer; her father, John Newton Ignatius "Jack" Hall (1922–1990), was a real estate broker and civil engineer.[1][2] Her father, from Nebraska, came from an Irish-American Catholic background, and her mother, originally from Kansas, came from a Methodist family, and had English, German, and more distant Austrian, ancestry.[3] Keaton was raised a Free Methodist by her mother.[4] Her mother won the "Mrs. Los Angeles" pageant for homemakers; Keaton has said that the theatricality of the event inspired her first impulse to be an actress, and led to her wanting to work on stage.[5] She has also credited Katharine Hepburn, whom she admires for playing strong and independent women, as one of her inspirations.[6]
