Diane Keaton, the Oscar-winning actress celebrated for her unforgettable roles in Annie Hall, The Godfather, and numerous other cinematic classics, passed away at age 79 in California.
The cause of death has not been disclosed, and her family has requested privacy during this time.
Keaton’s death sent shockwaves through Hollywood and beyond, as the beloved actress had not appeared publicly in recent months, with no prior announcement of illness.
Known for her distinctive style often sporting hats, turtlenecks, and wide trousers and her sharp comedic talent, Keaton was a singular figure in film over the past five decades.
Her breakthrough came with an Academy Award-winning performance in Woody Allen’s 1977 romantic comedy Annie Hall, a role heavily inspired by her own life and personality.
