Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda gem Nation.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
The editor in chief Emma Gillespie is here hallo.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Well, such sad news last week of Diane Keaton's passing.
There's been so many stars coming out and honoring her,
remembering her, you know, saying how wonderful she was to
work with, what a fantastic friend she was. And Dirty
al Pacino has weighed in. He is now reportedly saying
his biggest regret in his life was never marrying Diane Keaton.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
So what was it so bad?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
She's gone?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Yeah, but still later many years, weren't they on and off?
She remained unmarried.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Exactly their history.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
So they met filming The Godfather in the seventies. She
played Kay Adams to his Michael Corleoni. They were on
and off over the seventies and into the eighties, so
they had a long kind of standing romance, but it was,
you know, a bit of a bumpy ride. Apparently she
gave him an ultimatum and said basically, marry me or
(01:03):
it's over.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
And he said, well, I'm not going to.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Marry her exactly, which is why I'm a bit off
this now.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Sure, I see what you're saying there. And for him
to come out now and say this, I should.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
Have married her. She remained unmarried.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Her whole lot.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Well, exactly, she was very kind of It was a
big part of her personality. I suppose in the end,
this identity of independence. It's why so many people loved her.
That she kind of decided at a point, you know,
if she wasn't going to marry ow, she wasn't going
to marry anyone. But she said in interviews later that
you know, she couldn't imagine what her life would have
been like if she had ended up getting married. Her
(01:38):
stance on marriage, she said, really went back to her
teenage years. She said to people in twenty nineteen, I
remember one day in high school a guy came up
to me and said, one day you're going to make
a good wife, And I thought, I don't want to
be a wife. No, she said, she's really glad she
didn't get married. And she said she's sure her exes
are happy about it too.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
She manifested that then, but it sounds like in the
eighties when they're a couple, she broke up with him
because he wouldn't commit, and all these years later, after
she has died, he says, you know what she was
the love of mine.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
But that's that's the thing that women face being put
on the back burner as their reproductive years, that biological
clock keeps ticking away.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
A guy, the one who is still having kids? Is
he still having.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Havre did Stinniro has a lot of children.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Gino has got a lot of kids as well.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
But Daran Katon did have kids.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Eventually, she adopted in her fifties to children, so she
did become a mother, you know, slightly later in life.
But she said she thinks she's the only one in
her generation and maybe before who's been a single woman
all her life.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
And I love that.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I think she obviously had this turbulent relationship with al Pacino,
the kind of art imitates life imitates art of the
nature of their role together.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
On camera and then off camera.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
But you know, maybe he broke her heart so bad
that she thought, I don't want I don't want to
rely on someone.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
It's interesting, though, that how people are responding to him.
He may have thought he was saying something romantic in
these words. A lot of people are going, oh, good
on you, mate, Well.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's guy girls stuff.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Because as soon as a woman and this is a
woman dies as soon as a woman and this is
anecdotally says I want to get married.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
The man it's it's anthropological. He'll say, no, I don't
want to.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
How do you say you're married?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It's a very nice way to talk about al pachita.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
No, And this is guy girls stuff. This is what happens.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
There's so many married men in the world.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Because men have to come across it on their own.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
They have to come to the realization themselves.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I think there are a lot of men who want
the idea that the grass is always greener exactly. So
Diane Keaton saying, want to get married, he's in the
grass is green on the other side, and now she's
gone all of a sudden, he can't.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Have it, and he thinks, actually she was the grass
is pretty green.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
You look at Leonardo DiCaprio, Well he okay, the grass
is always green up for that guy, he is never
going to be wandering for all as.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Long as the patch of grass is twenty five years
or younger.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
And also who knows at the end of his life
where he got.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Away exactly, he might sit there and go, you know,
I should have married old mate.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
But also also had a number of relationships and they're
probably going, oh, thank you, al. I don't think he's
pleased anyone with his comments.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah, well, dian Katon may not have been a big
fan of al pacino, but she was a huge fan
of animals. There's this other headline that's come out this
week making the rounds about her estate, with some tabloids
claiming that she left five million.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Dollars to her beloved dog, Reggie.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
But I dug a bit deeper on this one, and
I think she's set up a fund to ensure that
he has good care for the rest of his life,
you know, food, vet care, comfy beds, fun toys, peanut
butter of the rest. But she was a huge animal lover,
and some shelters have come out and thanked her for
her lifetime dedication. She's donated millions over the course of
her life to animal rescue shelters. But she also worked
(04:59):
to pass legislation in LA. She passed the Big Cat
Public Safety Act, which I didn't know about, making it
illegal to own wildcats as pets in LA, which, of.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Course for us, that's a crazy idea.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
The Mike tysonary, You're by yourself a leopard Tiger.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
King, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
But anyway, she was not only a fantastic actress, a
brilliant feminist, but also a legislator.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I love her more, Reggie, he doesn't have to eat chum.
He gets the good stuff they get.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
To eat on Robert de Niro or not Al Pacino's buttocks.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yes, he's having sashimi off Pacino's.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But I heard, and that's a mental image. It's going
to take a while to get out of me. He M,
thank you, thank you.
