Chocolate Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Category 51+, TALENT ROUND 3: Diane Keaton vs. Lauren Bacall Diane by suki After being nominated for a Tony Award for Play It Again, Keaton made her film debut in 1970s Lovers and Other Strangers. She followed with guest roles on the television series Love, American Style and Night Gallery. Keaton's breakthrough role was in 1972 blockbuster The Godfather. Two years later she reprised her role in The Godfather, Part II. Keaton's other notable films of the 1970s are Sleeper, Love and Death, Interiors, Manhattan, and the film version of Play It Again, Sam. In 1977, Keaton starred in Annie Hall, in which she played one of her most famous roles. The film was both a major financial and critical success, and she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Later that year, she departed from her usual comic roles when she accepted a role in Looking for Mr. Goodbar. In 1984, The Little Drummer Girl, Keaton's unsuccessful first excursion into the thriller and action genre, was both a financial and critical failure. Two years later she starred in Crimes of the Heart. She starred in her first commercial vehicle with 1987's Baby Boom. That same year she made a cameo in Radio. 1988's The Good Mother was a misstep for Keaton. The film was a financial disappointment. In the 1990s she shifted to more mature roles. She began the decade with The Lemon Sisters, a poorly received comedy/drama that she starred in and produced. In 1991, Keaton starred in the 1991 family comedy Father of the Bride, which was Keaton's first major hit after four years of commercial disappointments. Keaton reprised her role four years later in the sequel. Keaton also reprised her role in 1990s The Godfather, Part III. In 1993 Keaton starred in Manhattan Murder Mystery. Keaton's most successful film of the decade was the 1996 comedy The First Wives Club. The film was a major success grossing US$105 million at the North American box office. Reviews of the film were generally positive.Also in 1996, Keaton appeared in Marvin's Room. Keaton earned her third Academy Award nomination for the film. Keaton's first film of 2000 was Hanging, rated poorly with critics, and grossed a modest US$36 million at the North American box office. In 2001 Keaton played in Town & Country, a critical and financial fiasco. Budgeted at an estimated US$90 million, the film opened to little notice and grossed only $7 million in its North American theatrical run. In 2001 and 2002 Keaton starred in four low-budget television films. She played in Sister Mary Explains It All, On Thin Ice, Plan B and Crossed Over. Keaton's first major hit since 1996 came in 2003's Something's Gotta Give. The film was a major success at the box office, grossing US$125 million in North America. The following year, Keaton received her fourth Academy Award nomination for her role in the film. Most recently, Keaton starred in the moderately successful 2005 comedy The Family Stone. Her latest film, Because I Said So, opened on February 2, 2007 to poor reviews. 2008 Mad Money (wikipedia) Lauren by Layla90 Her performance is acknowledged as one of the most powerful on-screen debuts in film history. After To Have and Have Not, Bacall was seen in the critically panned Confidential Agent (1945). She then appeared in the film noir The Big Sleep (1946), the thriller Dark Passage (1947), and Key Largo (1948). She was cast in Bright Leaf (1950). For her leads in a string of films she received favorable reviews. Young Man with a Horn (1950) is often considered the first big-budget jazz film. Bacall starred in How to Marry a Millionaire in 1953, a runaway hit. Bacall got positive notices for her turn as the witty gold-digger, Schatze Page. Written on the Wind, directed by Douglas Sirk in 1956, is now considered a classic tear-jerker. Bacall starred in the 1957 slapstick comedy Designing Woman for rave reviews. Bacall's movie career waned in the 1960s, and she was only seen in a handful of films. But on Broadway she starred in Goodbye, Charlie (1959), Cactus Flower (1965), Applause (1970) and Woman of the Year (1981). She won Tony Awards for her performances in the latter two. The few movies Bacall shot during this period were all-star vehicles such as Sex and the Single Girl (1964), Harper (1966), and Murder on the Orient Express (1974). For her work in the Chicago theatre, she won the Sarah Siddons Award in 1972 and again in 1984. In 1976, Bacall co-starred with John Wayne in his last picture, The Shootist. They had previously been cast together in 1955's Blood Alley. During the 1980's, Bacall appeared in the poorly received star vehicle The Fan (1981) as well as Health (1980) and Appointment with Death (1988). In 1997, Bacall was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her role in The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996), for which she had already won a Golden Globe. She received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1997. In 1999, she was voted one of the 25 most significant female movie stars in history by the American Film Institute. Since then, her movie career has seen a new renaissance and she has attracted respectful notices for her performances in high-profile projects such as Dogville (2003), The Limit (2003), and Birth (2004). She is one of the leading actors in 2007 The Walker. In March 2006, she was seen at the 78th Annual Academy Awards introducing a film montage dedicated to the film noir genre. She also made a cameo appearance on The Sopranos in April 2006. In September 2006, Bacall was awarded the first Katharine Hepburn Medal, which recognizes "women whose lives, work and contributions embody the intelligence, drive and independence of the four-time-Oscar-winning actress", by Bryn Mawr College's Katharine Houghton Hepburn Center. 2008 Wide Blue Yonder (wikipedia) WHICH ONE IS MORE TALENTED?
