Keaton: I’m ‘excited’ to get wallet

- BY NANCY DILLON

Diane Keaton has no idea how her 50-year-old wallet ended up in an abandoned storage locker in upstate New York, but she's “so excited” to get it back.

In a series of social media posts Tuesday, the Oscar winner responded to a recent Daily News story about Putnam County resident Anton Lulgjuraj and the long-lost wallet filled with more than 30 irreplacea­ble family photos he found among the contents of a deserted storage unit he purchased at auction last May.

The wallet included Keaton's 1966 California driver's license, which identified the A-list actress by her birth name, Diane Hall.

“This is the craziest story! I don't remeber (sic) losing this but I'm not surprised because I've lost my wallet many times! Thank you, Mr. Lulgjuraj!” Keaton said in her Twitter post.

“Someone found a wallet I lost 50 years ago!” she wrote in a similar post on Instagram that included one of the family snapshots included in The News' story.

“This photo was in it. I'm on the far right. Can you believe those bangs?!” she wrote.

In comments under her original post, she guessed she was about 9 years old in the photo.

She then thanked a follower who reminded her of something.

“I was so excited about this story that I forgot !!!! ” she wrote.

Lulgjuraj, 45, said Tuesday he was “thrilled” by Keaton's response. He rushed out and mailed the wallet to her lawyer as soon as he had the right address, he said.

“I'm really happy that she's going to get it back. The U.S. mail should get it there.”
