Diane Keaton has sadly passed away at the age of 79.
The death was confirmed today by a spokesperson for the Oscar-winning actress. “There are no further details available at this time, and her family has asked for privacy in this moment of great sadness,” a spokesperson told People.
Keaton, who became famous for starring in The Godfather movies as Kay Adams, won an Oscar for Best Actress for playing the titular role in Woody Allen’s 1977 classic Annie Hall. Keaton had remarkable longevity as an actress and was still leading films as recently as last year, as she starred in Summer Camp.
Keaton also recently starred in Book Club and its sequel, Mack & Rita, and Maybe I Do. Other notable films in her decorated career include Something’s Gotta Give, which gave Keaton her fourth Best Actress nomination, as she was also nominated for Reds and Marvin’s Room. Other hits include Father of the Bride, The First Wives Club, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, and Crimes of the Heart.
The actress became a mother at age 50 when she adopted two children.
Rest in Peace Diane.
