Diane Keaton

Diane Keaton is her own person. Just like other brave girls on this list, she never lets society or the norm dictate what she must do. In addition to her successful career and lots of credits, the 75-year-old industry icon also chose to be a single mother to her two kids, Dexter and Duke Keaton, in her 50s. Sure, she has dated a number of equally iconic Hollywood actors, like Al Pacino, Woody Allen, and Warren Beatty, but it looks like she has not seen the guy she wants to spend the rest of her life with.

Anyhow, as Keaton wanted to have a family of her own, she adopted her daughter, Dexter, in 1996. After five years, she adopted a son, Duke. The Annie Hall star said becoming a mom helped her become a better person. It made her realized that she was completely self-involved, and that changed when they arrived.
