Diane Keaton's Northeast L.A. years

Hermon & Highland Park— Actress Diane Keaton, whose death was reported over the weekend, spent some of her early years living in a Quonset hut in Hermon , according to an excerpt from her 2020 memoir, "Brother & Sister." Her family later moved a few blocks away to Redfield Avenue near Bushnell Way Elementary, where Keaton attended kindergarten. (Our thanks to Wendi Riser for pointing this out in her "All Things Hermon" newsletter.) A year after the family moved, Keaton was inspired to become an actress when she watched her mother at the Highland Theatre on Figueroa Street being named “Mrs. Los Angeles” in a pageant for homemakers. The family later moved to Santa Ana.
