From PEOPLE:
Keaton rose to fame in the 1970s thanks to her role in The Godfather films and her collaborations with director Woody Allen. She won an Oscar for Best Actress for 1977’s Annie Hall.
Her long career included movies like The First Wives Club, multiple collaborations with director Nancy Meyers and the Book Club franchise.
In 1968, Keaton was cast in Broadway’s Hair as the understudy for Sheila. Next, Keaton starred in Allen’s Broadway show Play It Again, Sam, which premiered in 1969. She received a Tony nomination for the role.
Looking back on her career, Keaton told PEOPLE in 2019, “I don’t know anything, and I haven’t learned. Getting older hasn’t made me wiser. Without acting I would have been a misfit.”
Elegant, graceful and so many fantastic films. What a career. Read more at PEOPLE.
Keaton never married but had two children, daughter Dexter and son Duke, whom she adopted in 1996 and 2001, respectively.
“Motherhood was not an urge I couldn’t resist, it was more like a thought I’d been thinking for a very long time. So I plunged in,” she told Ladies’ Home Journal in 2008. Keaton is survived by her children.
Rest well, Diane Keaton.
