ANNIE HALL star DIANE KEATON tells all about being bulimic with her then love sometime funnyman and child bride marrier, WOODY ALLEN.

In her tell all book, Diane Keaton writes about leaving dates with the filmmaker so she could race home to consume “barely imaginable quantities of food.”

Diane writes that dinner often consisted of a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken, several orders of French fries, TV dinners, candy galore, a Sara Lee pound cake and finally three frozen banana-cream pies.

After gorging herself like a Roman, the pixyish star would force herself to vomit, she recalled in the book.

“The demands of bulimia outshone the power of my desire for Woody. Pathetic, but true,” she writes.

Diane, now 65, first became bulimic at age 22 in 1968 when she was first cast in the Broadway musical “Hair” which contained a then-controversial all-nude scene

Three years of binging and purging approximately 20,000 calories a day left her with irregular periods, heartburn and no less than 26 cavities in her teeth.

Keaton said in the book that Allen didn’t confront her about her disorder while they were dating and making movies together but instead sent her to a psychoanalyst.  She saw the shrink every day for a year and a half.

She finally began eating normally again at age 25.

Evidently cured, she then dated co-stars Al Pacino and Warren Beatty.
