Diane Keaton, the Oscar-winning actor who redefined femininity on screen with her sharp wit, offbeat charm and unapologetic individuality, has died at the age of 79. according to People. A representative for the actor has not yet confirmed the cause of death.
Keaton rose to prominence in the 1970s, first captivating audiences as Kay Adams in The Godfather (1972), before securing her place in film history with her Oscar-winning performance in Woody Allen’s Annie Hall (1977). Her airy, layered menswear in that film became a cultural touchstone, symbolizing a new kind of femininity: intellectual, confident and a little eccentric.
Over five decades, Keaton built a career that resisted Hollywood’s restrictions on women. From Reds and Manhattan to Baby Boom, Father of the Bride and The First Wives Club, she embodied complex characters who balanced humor and vulnerability. Off-screen, whether in memoirs, interviews or social media posts, her voice remained unique: a mix of self-deprecating humor, curiosity and fierce independence.
Keaton also directed and produced, championing women’s stories long before it was fashionable. Her authenticity, both in fashion and in life, made her a lasting influence on generations of actors and creatives.
Her death marks the end of an era – not just for American cinema, but for the modern woman she helped define.
