Remembering Diane Keaton

R.I.P. Diane Keaton. The incredibly accomplished and uniquely gifted actor, interior designer, photographer, fashion icon, and single mother of two, who shared so many of her boundless talents and interests with us, passed away unexpectedly this weekend at age 79. According to the obituaries, her health took a sudden downturn a few months ago. Condolences to her children, Dexter and Duke, and to all who knew and loved her.

There aren't many movies I've watched more than once or twice, even those I loved. These are my favorite Diane Keaton movies, each of which I've watched more than five times during my life:

  • Lovers and Other Strangers (1970, her first movie, with a stellar cast, including Bea Arthur, Bonnie Bedelia, Michael Brandon, Anne Meara, Cloris Leachman, Richard Castellano, Gig Young. (free streaming link)
  • Reds (1981, Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson)
  • Looking for Mr. Goodbar ( 1977, Tuesday Weld, Richard Gere)
  • Annie Hall (Woody Allen) (1977, Oscar)
  • Play it Again Sam (Woody Allen)
  • Somthing's Gotta Give (2003, Jack Nicholson)

IMMB has a slideshow with 712 photos of Diane Keaton. The Hollywood Reporter has some excellent coverage of her life, career, the tributes to her pouring in, and of course, her iconic style.

Jane Fonda posted this great photo. (So did Goldie Hawn).

R.I.P. Diane. Your memory will be a blessing forever to so many.
