Diane Keaton dead at 79
Hollywood legend Diane Keaton has died at age 79.
The Oscar winner, whose glittering career spanned more than half a century, died in California, her family confirmed. No further details are available at this time.
Keaton, who rose to fame in the 1970s, starred in hit films including “The Godfather,” “Annie Hall,” “Baby Boom,” “First Wives Club,” and “Something’s Gotta Give.”
The vivacious icon was equally known for her off-screen presence, beloved for her whimsical sense of humor and her signature style, wearing tuxedos, turtlenecks, bowler hats and black-rimmed eyeglasses.
Keaton, who was also a writer, director, photographer, and singer, was additionally famed for her relationships with a string of Hollywood stars, including Al Pacino
Warren Beatty, and Woody Allen.
She is survived by her two children, Dexter, 29, and Duke, 25.
The actress last posted to her public Instagram on April 11, sharing a photo with her Golden Retriever, Reggie.
Born in Los Angeles, Keaton made her film debut in 1970 in “Lovers and Other Strangers.”
In 1972, she became a household name with a star turn as Kay Adams-Corleone in “The Godfather,” starring opposite Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, the latter of whom she had an on-off relationship with for a decade.
That same year, Keaton appeared opposite Woody Allen in “Play It Again, Sam.” The pair briefly dated, before the relationship turned platonic.
However, it was the start of a decades-long collaboration — and lifelong friendship — between the pair, who worked on eight films together, including “Annie Hall,” for which Keaton won both an Oscar and a Golden Globe in 1978.
