The industry icon and Oscar winner died on Oct. 11 at age 79.
The Oscar winner’s family told People magazine that she died from pneumonia on Oct. 11. “The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support they have received these past few days on behalf of their beloved Diane, who passed away from pneumonia on October 11,” they wrote in a statement.
“She loved her animals and she was steadfast in her support of the unhoused community, so any donations in her memory to a local food bank or an animal shelter would be a wonderful and much appreciated tribute to her,” Keaton’s family also shared of her passions.
Keaton was known for her roles in Annie Hall, three Godfather films, Something’s Gotta Give, Reds, Marvin’s Room, two Book Club movies and two Father of the Bride films, among dozens of other films. In addition to her one-of-a-kind onscreen presence, she also made style statements both on and off screen, showing women how to seamlessly blend fashion and identity.
Following the news of her death, tributs poured from her friends, former co-stars and fellow actors, including Woody Allen, Bette Midler, Francis Ford Coppola, Kate Hudson, Steve Martin, Jane Fonda, Nancy Meyers and Octavia Spencer, among others.
