Diane Keaton was 79. My mum is also 79. I do not like it when the dying people are the same age as the people I am in denial about ever dying

So long Diane Keaton. One of the greatest actors of all time that simply lit up the screen with her charisma alone.

The time we met Annie Hall, and a fashion icon was born.

Tonight I watched a Diane Keaton movie I hadn't seen in decades, Shoot the Moon (easily rentable on various services). She's so remarkable as a mother of four watching her marriage break up--she goes from crushed to liberated to uncertain to furious to resolute in a completely idiosyncratic way.

Diane Keaton was great but more than anything she taught little tomboy me it was cool and totally ok to shun dresses and that had a lasting impact.

DIANE KEATON transformed American cinema with performances that redefined leading women on screen. From Annie Hall's Oscar-winning charm to The Godfather's quiet strength, she brought intelligence, vulnerability, and style to every role. A huge loss. #RIP

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

She was an absolutely wonderful actress- and a rare and fascinating person. Thoughts with her children and sisters. Rest in peace Diane.

The same for me--i can't stand it!

Gary Swafford @garelitlover.bsky.social · 22h

Man this stinks. I've scored her since Sleepers way back in the early 1970s. Somehow I'd assumed that if anyone lived to 100 it'd be Keaton. Gonna go off and weep for a while.

I really love this adaptation of the classic Bradbury tale for the Ray Bradbury Theater (1986). Terrifying. This one stars Jeff Goldblum.
