(11) binder 11 1/2 x 11in Footnotes: Diane Keaton was the muse of Book Club directors and co-writers Bill Holderman and Erin Simms. The character Diane was based on Keaton and written expressly for her. 'Diane was our archetype for the character,' described Holderman, and when the script was sent to her, she was charmed by the writing and joined the project. (Desta, Yohana. Why Diane Keaton's Book Club Role Is Even More Meta Than You Think. Vanity Fair. 17 May 2018) The film, about four best friends in a book club who read 50 Shades of Grey, brought together Keaton, Jane Fonda, Mary Steenburgen, and Candice Bergen together on screen for the first time. The legendary actresses were 'excited to play fully realized roles that didn't sideline them as one-dimensional, ladies-of-a-certain-age supporting characters. The women in this film are bursting with personality, each one chasing an adventurous, sexy pursuit.' (Desta, Yohana. Vanity Fair) Keaton fully made the character her own by incorporating her own wardrobe as her costumes, which lends her performance a completely natural air. When Book Club: The Next Chapter was pushed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the film incorporated it as a plotline, with the friends discussing books over Zoom and planning an international trip when restrictions lifted. Diane again brought her own personality and clothes to the role, and the four friends shine with the film's message of female independence.
