Diane Keaton Admits to Battle With Bulimia

The Annie Hall star reveals she battled with bulimia for 5 years early in her career, plus reveals more shocking news in her new book, Then Again. FROM "ANNIE HALL" TO "SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE," DIANE KEATON IS ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC WOMEN IN HOLLYWOOD... BUT IN HER EARLY YEARS, SHE WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT HER LOOKS SHE DEVELOPED AN EATING DISORDER. IN HER NEW BOOK, "THEN AGAIN," THE OSCAR-WINNER OPENS UP ABOUT HER DAYS AS A STRUGGLING ACTRESS. BACK IN 1968, A BROADWAY DIRECTOR ORDERED HER TO LOSE 10 POUNDS, AND THAT KICKED OFF A 5-YEAR BATTLE WITH BULIMIA. SHE ADMITS SHE GORGED HERSELF ON HUGE TUBS OF ICE CREAM BEFORE MAKING HER SELF SICK. BUT AT THE TIME SHE SAYS, "Bulimia wasn't given much attention. It was just this trick you could do. It's a horrible problem. Ugly and awful." PSYCHOTHERAPY HELPED HER RECOVER FROM BULIMIA AND BODY DYSMORPHIA, AND SHE DESCRIBES THE DAY SHE REACHED A MAJOR MILESTONE, WHEN SHE "decided not to open a half a gallon of rocky road ice cream." DIANE'S ALWAYS BEEN NOTORIOUSLY PRIVATE ABOUT HER PERSONAL LIFE, BUT IN HER BOOK SHE ALSO REVEALS A FEW SURPRISES -- LIKE SHE ONCE DATED STEVE JOBS! SHE WRITES, "It was all going well but then he talked about work. He'd start saying things about the computer and I'm going, "I have no interest.'" HA! WHO KNEW! SHE ALSO DISHES MAJOR DETAILS ABOUT HER RELATIONSHIPS WITH WOODY ALLEN, AL PACINO AND WARREN BEATTY. AND YOU CAN READ ALL ABOUT IT WHEN DIANE KEATON'S BOOK, THEN AGAIN, COMES OUT ON NOVEMBER 15TH.
