A Hollywood legend has sadly passed away. CNN confirmed today that Diane Keaton has died at the age of 79. At present, the cause of death for Diane Keaton is unknown, but the loss of her is already being felt among fans and peers alike. Keaton is known for her incredibly prolific career and exceptional comedic talent. To Nerdist readers, she’s likely known for her role as the voice of Jenny in Finding Dory, her turn as Kay in The Godfather, as well as other classic movies.
In addition to being an actress, Keaton was a director and producer throughout her career. She was nominated for Oscars several times in her career and won for Best Actress in 1977 for the movie, Annie Hall. Keaton has three upcoming movies listed on her IMDb, but as all are noted to be in pre-production, it is unlikely the actress filmed for these roles. Keaton’s career otherwise spans from 1970-2024—a truly impressive resume.
Some celebrities have such name recognition and presence that it seems like they will always be a part of our lives and conversation. It is always a surreal moment when these people pass away. Diane Keaton brought warmth, mischief, self-deprication, and wonderful, wonderful life to her many roles. Online, fans are already mourning the loss of her.
Meanwhile, her co-stars have expressed their sadness at the passing of Keaton. Bette Midler wrote on Threads, “The brilliant, beautiful, extraordinary Diane Keaton has died. I cannot tell you how unbearably sad this makes me. She was hilarious, and completely without guile, or any of the competitiveness one would have expected from such a star. What you saw was who she was…oh, la, lala!” Meanwhile, Kerry Washington expressed, “Rest in peace, Diane Keaton. Your talent, courage, and authenticity were a true inspiration.” And Ben Stiller noted, “Diane Keaton. One of the greatest film actors ever. An icon of style, humor and comedy. Brilliant. What a person.”
Diane Keaton’s passing is truly a sad moment, but as with other artist deaths, her legacy will live on in her works.
