Oscar-winning actress Diane Keaton has died at the age of 79. [...]
Both in her film roles and in her personal life, Keaton was known for her unique style, which often featured menswear and a wide-brimmed hat.
Keaton died in California on Saturday, a family spokesperson told People magazine, which first reported the news.
Paying tribute, her First Wives Club co-star Bette Midler wrote on Instagram: “The brilliant, beautiful, extraordinary Diane Keaton has died. I cannot tell you how unbearably sad this makes me.”
“She was hilarious, a complete original, and completely without guile, or any of the competitiveness one would have expected from such a star. What you saw was who she was ... oh, la, lala!”
Actor Ben Stiller paid tribute on X, writing: “Diane Keaton. One of the greatest film actors ever. An icon of style, humor and comedy. Brilliant. What a person.” [...]
She never married and had two adopted children – a daughter, Dexter, and a son, Duke.
Face of the Day
After appearing in the role of Kay Adams-Corleone – Michael Corleone’s second wife – in The Godfather trilogy, Keaton went on to star in more than 60 films, including eight with longstanding friend and ex-partner Woody Allen.
