The incomparable Diane Keaton, who won an Academy Award for best actress for her portrayal of the titular quirky character in “Annie Hall” and portrayed Kay in the three “Godfather” films, has died. She was 79. Her death in California was reported by People magazine. Further details were not immediately available. Keaton also starred as a playwright/mother who becomes involved with a nefarious womanizing Jack Nicholson in “Something’s Gotta Give” (2003), receiving her fourth best actress Oscar nomination. She also was nominated for her work in Reds (1981) and Marvin’s Room (1996). Streep and Keaton were colleagues and friends for years. Although they didn’t share scenes in Woody Allen’s “Manhattan”, they both received glowing reviews for the aforementioned “Marvin’s Room”. Keaton spoke at Streep’s AFI Life Achievement Award in 2004 and Streep did the same at Keaton’s tribute in 2017, which you can watch in the video archive. Meryl was also featured in the 2001 Intimate Portrait documentary on Diane Keaton. Below, you can find links to various public appearances throughout the years.

Our American treasure: indelible singular girl and brilliant artist. Crushing news that she is gone, but her smile and her style and antic spirit will live on film and in our hearts forever. (Meryl Streep, The Guardian, October 11, 2025)
