Saddest news ever…
Beloved actress Diane Keaton has died at 79.

Oscar winner, director, artist, Keaton was unique in her beauty and intelligence. This is a stunning loss for her family, friends, and fans.

The Oscar was for “Annie Hall” in 1978. She created a memorable persona in attitude and fashion that informed generations.

No one in Hollywood had more friends across generations. Her friendships and relationships were so solid. She was always supportive of Woody Allen, her one time boyfriend and director of 8 of her films. When Woody was in trouble in the early 90s Diane starred in his “Manhattan Murder Mystery.” They always remained close.

There’s no word yet on Keaton’s cause of death, although I’m told her illness was something that started earlier this year and went quickly. Friends have been visiting her for months.
