I can't think of the 70s without mentioning her.
One of the best.
RIP

A true icon. She will be missed.

Such sad news. One of the true greats. RIP

Diane Keaton, what a loss. I so enjoyed her in several films.

Wow.

79.

People dying in their late 70s and early 80s... famous people: acting, music...

The time of an acting dying young still happens but not like it did. Say, Belushi.

Music... with exception to Andrew Wood and... oh shit, is that even right to say?

Aside from plane crashes the first wave of abuse was... Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. A little while later, John Bonham and Bon Scott.

There were more, right? There were others at that time?

Odd era - Andrew Wood, Shannon Hoon, Freddie Mercury and Kurt Cobain.

Just WTF.

Recently, Prince, Amy Winehouse, Chris Cornell, Bowie, Buffett... and others that were not super rockstars. More WTF. Incredible.

Soon there will be a huge collapse due to age, not cancer or suicide or drinking.

It's going to change the world. It may take a year or two for it to "hit" but it's going to be a very strange world when it does. Right now I don't see how the music industry can accord for such losses. Society won't really notice since all the loved songs are from decades ago.

Except for seeing them on tour.

That's what will most likely sting the most.

Because that's what we're used to.

I saw Godfather in Summer 1972.
Among the Hollywood A-listers, Marlon Brand, Al Pacino, James Caen et al, one who impressed me most was this then unknown actress who played Pacino’s estranged fiancé, Kay. Her beauty and vulnerability touched my teenage sensitivity.
Later she broadened a range of acting, won an Oscar and joined the Hollywood celebs.
But for me, She has always been ‘Kay’.

RIP Ms Diane Keaton

RIP. What an actress. My wife worked in fine dining in Beverly Hills for many years and saw many stars. Diane Keaton was the only one where she was starstruck

My goodness, dead at 79. Outlived by (among others) Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Jack Nicholson. Life sometimes seems unfair.

RIP Diane, loved pretty much every film I ever saw you in !

79 is hardly a premature death. Average life expectancy for women in the USA is around 81. RIP.

Diane Keaton was a wonderful actress. I love here work with Woody Allen. May she rest in peace.

RIP, so many amazing parts in Woody Allen movies, too many to mention but "Love and Death" from 1975 was really something !

One of the greatest.

RIP

I liked her in Looking for Mr Goodbar. There's a clever scene where she's sitting at a bar and Richard Gere sits next to her and notices that she's reading Mario Puzo's The Godfather. "That Al Pacino .... he's really something!" says Gere. She just sort of gives a shrug, as if to say, "Yeah, I guess. How should I know?" Brings to mind another scene in another movie, Annie Hall. It's the "This guy's on television!" scene, where Woody complains he's surrounded by the cast of The Godfather, and she says, "Look, you're just going to have to deal with it!" I'll bet most people who saw Annie Hall never caught that.

Does this mean Al Pacino was on set at times?
