I hadn\u2019t seen it for I think about 30 years. I just remember all the people, I couldn\u2019t handle it, it was so astonishing, it was so beautiful, and everybody is so great in it, and the music, and every choice [Francis Ford Coppola<\/strong>] made.\u201d<\/p>\n Keaton later became a hallmark of romance and comedy films, telling Us Weekly <\/i>in 2022 about her newfound preference for physical roles.<\/p>\n \u201cI got to do some physical things, which I loved, and it made me want to do more physical things in movies instead of just not use your body,\u201d she exclusively told Us <\/i><\/span><\/a>about signing onto Mack & Rita. <\/i>\u201cI mean, really. I haven\u2019t had a chance to do that for a long time. I want to do more of that in something. Hopefully something like that would come along.\u201d<\/p>\n She added, \u201cI\u2019ve never done anything so stupid [like this character]. It fits my personality. You can be a dingbat. That\u2019s what I feel the best. That\u2019s why I want to have another movie where I get to do more of that. That\u2019s probably not gonna happen.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018The First Wives Club\u2019 Cast: Where Are They Now? Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn and More Stars<\/a><\/p>\n At the time, Keaton also told Us <\/i>what it would take to make another Father of the Bride <\/i>movie with costars Steve Martin, Martin Short, Kimberly Williams Paisley <\/b>and Kieran Culkin.<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cNo one\u2019s come forward with it. But if it were to happen, sure. Of course I would,\u201d Keaton told Us <\/i>in 2022<\/span><\/a>. \u201cSteven, Marty, I mean, they\u2019ve got their television show [Only Murders in the Building] now. I mean, they\u2019re giants and they\u2019re just incredibly great actors and funny and smart and all that. We all know that, and it works. How they\u2019re doing it on TV is pretty remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to her prolific acting career, Keaton also ran home decor and eyewear companies, authored a handful of books and released a holiday single titled \u201cFirst Christmas\u201d in 2024.<\/p>\n Diane Keaton Hilariously Unveils Her \u2018Endless Fashion Mistakes\u2019: Photos<\/a><\/p>\n Keaton is survived by her two children, Dexter and Duke, whom she adopted in her 50s<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn’t think that I was ever going to be prepared to be a mother,\u201d she told Ladie\u2019s Home Journal <\/i>in 2008. \u201cMotherhood was not an urge I couldn’t resist, it was more like a thought I’d been thinking for a very long time. So I plunged in.\u201d<\/p>\n Keaton\u2019s daughter, Dexter, has frequently paid tribute to her mother via social media through the years.<\/p>\n \u201cMy mom and I have always loved going on adventures together. From strolls on the beach to walking around a new neighborhood,\u201d she captioned<\/span><\/a> a June 2023 tribute. \u201cI love spending time with my mom. We always have an amazing time together. I love my mom.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
