Richard Gere is honoring the memory of iconic actress Diane Keaton.
During an appearance on the Today show Thursday
morning, Gere reflected on Keaton, who passed away on Saturday at the age of 79
due to pneumonia. The two first shared the screen in 1977’s Looking for Mr.
Goodbar, which was only Gere’s second film. Decades later, they reunited
for the 2023 romantic comedy Maybe I Do.
“Of course, I’ve been thinking about her,” Gere said. “We
made a film together a few years back. I hadn’t seen her in a long time.”
Reflecting on their early work, Gere recalled their time
filming Looking for Mr. Goodbar: “That was a tough film—it was raw and
very sexual. Diane was quite shy and nervous, and so was I. It was only my
second movie. We really supported each other through those intense scenes.”
He continued, “What always stood out was how sweet, gentle,
and genuine she was. Anyone who ever worked with her would say the same—she was
real. Completely original.”
Following Keaton’s passing, many celebrities and former
co-stars shared tributes online.
