The muse of Woody Allen, with whom she starred in several of his great works, was born in Los Angeles, California (USA) on January 5, 1946.
The daughter of an engineer and an art photographer, she attended Santa Ana and Crange COSAT universities, but soon left to pursue her passion at just 19 years old, after receiving a scholarship to study drama in New York. It was in that city where she began her artistic career, singing and dancing with the group The Roadrunners.
Her big-screen debut came just a year later with the movie Loverstang other stangers in 1970, marking the beginning of her golden era, during which she took part in two collaborations that would define her career.
On one hand, she solidified her status in cult drama by participating in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather saga (1972) and The Godfather II (1974). On the other hand, she deepened her professional relationship with Woody Allen, working on films like Sleeper (1973) and Love and Death (1975).
In 1977, she reached the pinnacle with Annie Hall. Her portrayal of the neurotic and witty Annie earned her the Best Actress Oscar, solidifying her as a cultural icon.
