The entertainment world mourns the loss of Diane Keaton, the iconic Oscar-winning actress who passed away at the age of 79. Her longtime producer and friend, Dori Rath, confirmed the news to CBS News. Born in Los Angeles, Keaton rose to prominence in the 1970s with her unforgettable portrayal of Kay Adams-Corleone in *The Godfather* series. Her career, spanning over five decades, was marked by critically acclaimed performances in films such as *Annie Hall*, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1978, *Father of the Bride*, and *First Wives Club*. Keaton’s unique style, often characterized by menswear and wide-brimmed hats, became a signature both on and off the screen. Beyond acting, she directed several films, including the 1995 Cannes-selected *Unstrung Heroes* and the 2000 comedy-drama *Hanging Up*. Tributes poured in from co-stars and fans, with Bette Midler calling her ‘brilliant, beautiful, and extraordinary,’ and Ben Stiller hailing her as ‘one of the greatest film actors ever.’ Keaton, who never married, adopted two children, Dexter and Duke, and often expressed her profound love for her family in her 2011 autobiography, *Then Again*. Her legacy as a trailblazer in Hollywood remains indelible.
