Oscar-winning actress Diane Keaton has died at 79, according to People<\/a>, who spoke with a family spokesperson on Sat., Oct. 11.<\/p>\n The legendary actress, known for iconic roles in films such as \u201cAnnie Hall,\u201d \u201cThe Godfather,\u201d<\/a> and \u201cThe First Wives Club,\u201d died in California. As of writing, her loved ones have asked for privacy, and no further details are available at this time.<\/p>\n Keaton, born Diane Hall in Los Angeles in 1946, became a Hollywood staple in the 1970s. Her career took off with her role as Kay Adams in \u201cThe Godfather\u201d films and through her various collaborations with director Woody Allen<\/a>, which led to her winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for 1977\u2019s \u201cAnnie Hall.\u201d<\/p>\n After graduating high school in 1964, Keaton pursued drama but soon left college for New York to start a career in theater. She adopted her mother\u2019s maiden name, Keaton, because an actress named Diane Hall was already registered with Actors\u2019 Equity. Her Broadway career began in 1968 with a role as an understudy in \u201cHair.\u201d She later earned a Tony nomination for her performance in Allen\u2019s 1969 Broadway show, \u201cPlay It Again, Sam.\u201d<\/p>\n Keaton\u2019s breakout film role came in 1972 when she was cast as Al Pacino\u2019s girlfriend in \u201cThe Godfather.\u201d Keaton told People<\/a> in 2022 that she landed the life-changing role without ever having read the book. \u201cI just was going around auditioning. I think that was amazing for me. And then I had to kind of read the book,\u201d she said. She reprised her role in the franchise\u2019s sequels, \u201cThe Godfather Part II\u201d (1974) and \u201cThe Godfather Part III\u201d (1990).<\/p>\n Keaton\u2019s role in the romantic comedy, \u201cAnnie Hall\u201d (1977), not only won her an Oscar but also cemented her as a style icon, with her character\u2019s menswear-inspired wardrobe mirroring her own personal style. <\/p>\n Other popular films Keaton starred in include \u201cReds\u201d (1981), \u201cFather of the Bride\u201d (1991), \u201cFather of the Bride Part II\u201d, and \u201cSomething\u2019s Gotta Give\u201d (2003).<\/p>\n While Keaton mostly stuck to film, she did have some memorable TV appearances. She lent her voice to the animated Netflix series \u201cGreen Eggs and Ham,\u201d which ran from 2019 to 2022. She also starred in the HBO mini-series \u201cThe Young Pope\u201d in 2016. Keaton even made an appearance in Justin Bieber\u2019s music video for \u201cGhost\u201d in 2021.<\/p>\n Her last acting credit was in the comedy film \u201cSummer Camp\u201d (2024), with Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard, and Eugene Levy. According to IMDb<\/a>, she has three upcoming projects, but it\u2019s unclear if these projects wrapped before her death.<\/p>\n Though she was romantically linked to Allen, Pacino, and Warren Beatty throughout her lifetime, Keaton never married. \u201cI\u2019m really glad I didn\u2019t get married. I\u2019m an oddball,\u201d she told People<\/a> in 2019. \u201cI remember in high school, this guy came up to me and said, \u2018One day you\u2019re going to make a good wife.\u2019 And I thought, \u2018I don\u2019t want to be a wife. No.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n She adopted two children, daughter Dexter in 1996 and son Duke in 2001. She is survived by her children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
