Hollywood in Mourning: Diane Keaton Dies at 79

 🌹Legendary actress Diane Keaton, best known for her Oscar-winning turn in Annie Hall opposite Woody Allen, has died at the age of 79. 

🎭 A Quirky Icon Bids Farewell

Keaton’s rise to stardom in the 1970s was spearheaded by her trademark style — self-deprecating wit, offbeat charm, and an ability to make vulnerable characters feel indelible. Her performance in Annie Hall earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress and solidified her place in cinematic history. 

She also starred in The Godfather series (as Kay Adams), Baby Boom, Father of the Bride, The First Wives Club, and Something’s Gotta Give, among many others — a career that spanned more than five decades. 

Though details around her death are limited, reports say her health “declined very suddenly” in recent months. 

Tributes have poured in from Hollywood luminaries — Bette Midler called her “a complete original.”
