The actress discusses her new memoir, Brother & Sister, and explains how her family reacted to the classic film
but she wasn’t the only one who served as inspiration., the 74-year-old star explains that Annie’s troubled brother Duane was based on her own brother John Randolph Hall, an artist who hashis whole life. Now 71, Hall suffers from dementia and lives in a care facility, where his sister visits him weekly.
In a later scene, Alvy sits next to Annie in a car driven by Duane and looks terrified as they speed down a dark road. While the movie played up Duane’s strangeness for laughs, the truth about Randy Hall was darker and far more complex.“Reality, you know? Reality was not something Randy could handle,” Keaton says in an exclusive interview featured in this week’s issue of PEOPLE.
“My fantasies are even worse now, but at least I know they’re fantasies,” Hall wrote to Keaton in a letter she includes in her book. “I’m not going to do anything. I have to say, holding it back all those years makes me believe I am a moral man. James Ellroy used to break into houses and steal underwear. I can’t even do that… I couldn’t, but boy could I dream of it.”
