Breaking News: Diane Keaton, Hollywood’s “La‑Dee‑Da” Dame, Passes at 79
🎬 A Star Who Redefined Hollywood
Born Diane Hall on January 5, 1946, in Los Angeles, she adopted her mother’s maiden name, Keaton, as her stage identity. Over a five-decade career, she became known for her intelligence, originality, and rebellious charm.
Her breakout role came with The Godfather (1972) as Kay Adams, and her collaborations with Woody Allen—including Annie Hall—cemented her cinematic legacy. In Annie Hall (1977), she won the Oscar for Best Actress, and that film’s fashion — bowler hats, vests, ties — became synonymous with her personal aesthetic.
Her versatility shone in many other films: Reds, Marvin’s Room, Something’s Gotta Give, The First Wives Club, Father of the Bride, and into her later years, the Book Club series.
Keaton was not just an actress — she was a style pioneer. Her androgynous, menswear-influenced looks — bowler hats, waistcoats, oversized jackets — made her a fashion rebel. She often said Annie Hall’s costume was really “pure Diane Keaton.”
Beyond acting, she ventured into directing (Unstrung Heroes, Hanging Up), photography, writing memoirs, and even launched a wine brand.
In interviews she spoke candidly about struggles — including bulimia in her younger years — and the strength it cost her. Yet she remained a presence of humor, resilience, and vulnerability.
She never married but adopted two children — Dexter in 1996 and Duke in 2001.
Her passing has sent waves of grief across Hollywood and beyond. Colleagues and fans are remembering Diane Keaton as a national treasure, a woman of radical authenticity, wit, and nuance.
Bette Midler, her First Wives Club co-star, called her “brilliant, beautiful, extraordinary.” Leonardo DiCaprio, who once played her nephew in Marvin’s Room, said she was “one of a kind.”
The film community continues to pour out tributes: for her artistry, her generosity, and the singular life she lived.
