Hollywood is grieving the death of Diane Keaton, the beloved Oscar-winning actress best known for her iconic roles in Annie Hall, The Godfather trilogy, Father of the Bride, Something’s Gotta Give, and The First Wives Club. Keaton passed away on Saturday in California at the age of 79. The cause of death has not yet been revealed.
Following the heartbreaking announcement, numerous co-stars,
filmmakers, and celebrities shared emotional tributes celebrating her life and
legacy.
Robert De Niro told The Hollywood Reporter,
“I’m deeply saddened by Diane’s passing. I was very fond of her, and the news
completely shocked me. She will be missed. May she rest in peace.”
Bette Midler, who starred with Keaton and Goldie
Hawn in The First Wives Club (1996), wrote on Instagram, “The
brilliant, beautiful, and extraordinary Diane Keaton has died. I can’t express
how unbearably sad this makes me. She was hilarious, completely original, and
genuine—without any trace of ego or competitiveness. What you saw was who she
truly was.”
Hawn’s daughter, Kate Hudson, also honored Keaton by
sharing a clip from The First Wives Club with the caption, “We love you
so much, Diane.”
Francis Ford Coppola, who directed Keaton in The
Godfather series, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram: “Words can’t
capture Diane Keaton’s brilliance. She was endlessly intelligent, strikingly
beautiful, and remarkably creative. From her early performances in Hair
to her groundbreaking roles in The Godfather and Annie Hall, she
was an actor unlike any other. Everything about Diane was pure artistry.”
Steve Martin, her Father of the Bride co-star,
reposted a lighthearted interview clip featuring Keaton and Martin Short,
captioning it, “This perfectly sums up our wonderful relationship with Diane.”
Her Book Club co-star Candice Bergen shared
with THR, “This is a devastating loss. Diane was a true artist immensely
gifted, modest, and delightfully eccentric. I will miss her deeply.” Mary
Steenburgen added, “Diane was pure magic. There will never be another like
her. I loved her dearly and feel blessed to have called her a friend.”
Leonardo DiCaprio, who played Keaton’s nephew in Marvin’s
Room, posted a tribute on his Instagram Stories: “Diane Keaton was one of a
kind brilliant, funny, and unapologetically herself. A legend, an icon, and a
kind human being. I had the honor of working with her when I was 18. She will
be deeply missed.”
