Nancy Meyers<\/strong> is honoring her friendship with the late Diane Keaton.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThese past 48 hours have not been easy,\u201d Meyers, 75, wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Monday, October 13. \u201cSeeing all of your tributes to Diane has been a comfort. As a movie lover, I\u2019m with you all \u2014 we have lost a giant. A brilliant actress who time and again laid herself bare to tell our stories. As a woman, I lost a friend of almost 40 years \u2014 at times over those years, she felt like a sister because we shared so many truly memorable experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cAs a filmmaker, I\u2019ve lost a connection with an actress that one can only dream of. We all search for that someone who really gets us, right? Well, with Diane, I believe we mutually had that. I always felt she really got me so writing for her made me better because I felt so secure in her hands. I knew how vulnerable she could be. And I knew how hilarious she could be, not only with dialogue (which she said word for word as written but managed to always make it sound improvised) but she could be funny sitting at a dinner table or just walking into a room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to Keaton\u2019s death at age 79,<\/a> she and Meyers collaborated on 1987\u2019s Baby Boom<\/em>, 1991\u2019s Father of the Bride<\/em> and the 1995 sequel. The pair reunited for 2003\u2019s Something\u2019s Gotta Give.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tLegendary actress Diane Keaton has died. She was 79. Keaton died in California, a spokesperson for her family told People on Saturday, October 11. Per the outlet, no additional information surrounding the actress\u2019 death is available at this time, while her family has \u201casked for privacy.\u201d Us Weekly has reached out to representatives for Keaton [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cBut the truth is \u2014 Diane didn\u2019t just \u2018get me.\u2019 I\u2019ve watched all of her groundbreaking spectacular work with<\/a> Woody Allen<\/strong> a million times and I watch her performance in Warren Beatty<\/strong>\u2019s REDS with awe,\u201d Meyers wrote. \u201cDiane did exactly the same for them because that is what she does. She goes deep. And I know those who have worked with her know what I know \u2026 she made everything better.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cEvery set up, every day, in every movie<\/a>, I watched her give it her all. When I needed her to cry in scene after scene in Something\u2019s Gotta Give<\/em> she went at it hard and then somehow made it funny. And I remember she would sometimes spin in a kind of goofy circle before a take to purposely get herself off balance or whatever she needed to shed so she could be in the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meyers noted that Keaton was \u201cfearless,\u201d adding that the late actress was \u201clike nobody ever, she was born to be a movie star, her laugh could make your day and for me, knowing her and working with her \u2014 changed my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
