The Godfather<\/em> director Francis Ford Coppola paid tribute to Diane Keaton Sunday following news of the legendary actress\u2019 death<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWords can\u2019t express the wonder and talent of Diane Keaton. Endlessly intelligent, so beautiful,\u201d the filmmaker wrote of the actress who portrayed Kay Adams in the Godfather<\/em> saga.<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cFrom her earliest performances in \u2018Hair\u2019 and throughout her amazing career, she was an extraordinary actor. I saw her in the film \u2018Lovers and Other Strangers\u2019 and knew I had to have her play Kay in The Godfather, (which she told me she based on my wife Ellie) and her wonderful work in \u2018Annie Hall\u2019 while simultaneously setting a new fashion trend. Everything about Diane was creativity personified.\u201d<\/p>\n Jane Fonda, Steve Martin, Leonardo DiCaprio and Mandy Moore were among Keaton\u2019s Hollywood peers and co-stars to remember<\/a> the Oscar-winning actress following news of her death Saturday at the age of 79, while Keaton\u2019s First Wives Club<\/em> co-stars Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn also paid tribute<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSome actors play emotions. Diane Keaton lived inside them,\u201d the Academy \u2014 which awarded a Best Actress Oscar to Keaton for Annie Hall \u2014 wrote on social media. \u201cDiane Keaton embodied the contradictions of being human: funny and fragile, bright and bruised, always achingly honest. For decades, she filled every frame with warmth, wit, and wonder. A Best Actress Oscar winner and four-time nominee, her presence shaped generations of storytelling. Her spirit will live forever on screen, and in the hearts of all who saw themselves in her.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
