Diane Keaton, actress, age 17 on Nov. 22, 1963. 

Keaton is best known to fans of The Godfather trilogy:


I remember that we lived on Wright Street in Santa Ana, California, in a tract home—very typical late-fifties, early-sixties kind of thing. And my mom had the television on; that’s how we heard. That’s it. It was just a simple scene of a typical Southern California family. … And his death, which was just a transforming moment. He was early enough in [his presidency] to still be a romantic figure. It’s evil what we do to presidents, so brutal. I look at Obama and I just think, Oh, my God.
