Keaton, who was born in Los Angeles in 1946, died in California at the age of 79, according to People. At this time, his family and friends have asked for privacy and the cause and date of his death have not been released.
For more than five decades, Diane Keaton made films that, to this day, are iconic.
His career really took off in the 1970s thanks to his roles in some of the best films of the 70s (and of all times), as The godfather. She appeared in all three The godfather films like Kay Adams. In 2022, she told People that the “kindest thing” anyone had ever done for her was casting her in the first of these films.
Keaton also worked a lot with Woody Allen early in his career. Then in 1977 she starred Anne Hall. She played the titular character and ultimately won an Oscar for Best Actress. To this day, Anne Hall is considered one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time.
Another hallmark of Diane Keaton’s career was her collaborations with Nancy Meyers. Their first project together was in 1987 Baby Boom. After that, they worked together on three more occasions, with Father of the bride (which is one of her and Steve Martin’s best films), Father of the Bride Part II and Something has to give.
Speaking of Something has to givewhich she starred in alongside Jack Nicholson, this 2003 film marked Keaton’s fourth Oscar nomination. His other nominations were for 1981 Reds and 1996 Marvin’s Roomand, as I noted, she won in 1978 by Anne Hall. This alone proves how iconic her career is as it shows how she has consistently flourished over the decades.
However, obviously, his legendary filmography does not end there. She has 74 credits to her name, which include comedies like highly quotable First Wives Club, the Christmas movie, The family stone, and the Book Club films, in which she starred alongside fellow icons Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen.
Outside of her film acting work, she has also been on Broadway and received a Tony nomination in 1969 for the play Play it again, Sam.
She was also a director and directed projects such as Hanging, Wildflower and shows how Twin Peaks and Pasadena.
The last film released that Diane Keaton starred in was the 2024 film summer campwhich also starred Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard and Eugene Levy. Can be transmitted with a Hulu Subscription. She also had three films in the pipeline – The Making Of, Constança and Resident artist – and in accordance with IMDBthey are all in pre-production.
Moving from professional to personal, Keaton never married. She had two sons, Dexter and Duke. She adopted Dexter in 1996 and Duke in 2001. She left them.
