DIANE KEATON UNDERESTIMATED STEVE JOBS – AND LIVED TO REGRET IT
Let this be a lesson to young readers. Diane Keaton clarified her late 1970’s, potentially romantic encounter with Steve Jobs on Ellen, and we can all learn from her behavior. Diane told Ellen that she was living in New York and Steve Jobs moved into a three floor penthouse in the building complex. He let it be known that he wanted to meet the “Annie Hall” star, and although he was around 8 years younger, Diane paid him a visit in his apartment. She was overwhelmed by the fabulous penthouse, but underwhelmed by Jobs, who kept talking about computers and how everyone would have one in their home someday. Back in the 70’s this sounded improbable and Diane dismissed him as rather boring. She had no appreciation of his talent and very much REGRETS not recognizing his brilliance and cultivating at the least, a friendship. “I was an idiot!” (Above, Diane in “Annie Hall” in 1977)
