Hollywood Mourns Diane Keaton: “Unique Is What She Was”

Tributes from across the entertainment world are pouring in as Hollywood says goodbye to Diane Keaton, the beloved Oscar-winning actress who redefined style, humor, and authenticity on screen. At 79, Keaton’s sudden passing has left fans and fellow stars heartbroken.

Keaton died unexpectedly on October 11, 2025, leaving her colleagues in shock. Social media filled with memories and loving words. Actress Donna Mills posted a photo of Keaton smiling, writing, “She was such a major talent and a wonderful mother. Sleep well, Diane. You will be missed.”

Michael Douglas, her And So It Goes co-star, called her “one of the greatest icons in our industry,” while Jane Fonda remembered her as “a spark of life and light, constantly giggling at her own foibles.” Cynthia Nixon, who worked with her in 5 Flights Up, said meeting Keaton had been a lifelong dream.

Rita Wilson celebrated her boundless creativity, and Goldie Hawn shared a touching memory: “We agreed to grow old together… Shine your fairy dust up there, girlfriend.” Melissa Gilbert added, “Good night, sweet woman.”

Steve Martin fondly recalled Keaton’s sharp humor, while Bette Midler called her “brilliant, beautiful, extraordinary.” Mandy Moore and Pink also honored her, saying her wit and charm inspired countless artists.

From The Godfather to Annie Hall, Keaton changed both film and fashion, making androgynous style iconic and portraying complex, real women with grace.

Born Diane Hall in Los Angeles in 1946, she became a true original — a fearless artist whose laughter, spirit, and authenticity will forever shine.
