Pacino recently talked about his past struggles with money and how Diane Keaton helped save him from financial ruin.
Al Pacino recently revealed that he was experiencing money struggles shortly after the premiere of one of his most successful movies – and if it weren’t for his then girlfriend, Diane Keaton, he might have gone broke.
Keaton, 78, and Pacino, 84, met on the set of The Godfather, but their romantic relationship did not bloom until the filming of The Godfather Part II. The couple started dating in 1974, around the same time Keaton found out that the actor was in dire need of help with his finances.
In his memoir, Sonny Boy, Pacino wrote, „When I finished making ‚The Godfather‘, I was broke, not that I had ever had any money, but now I owed money.“ The actor explained, „My manager and agents got their cuts of my salary while I had to live on support from Jill Clayburgh.
