Hollywood is in mourning after the sudden death of Diane Keaton, the 79-year-old Oscar-winning actress who redefined charm, wit, and style on screen. Keaton passed unexpectedly on October 11, 2025, leaving fans and colleagues heartbroken. Tributes flooded social media as stars remembered the beloved icon who made women want to wear suits and laugh through heartbreak. Michael Douglas, her And So It Goes co-star, wrote, “A heartbreaking loss of one of the greatest icons in our industry.”
Jane Fonda, who shared the screen with Keaton in Book Club, said, “Unique is what she was — always a spark of life and light.” Goldie Hawn recalled their decades-long friendship: “We agreed to grow old together… Shine your fairy dust up there, girlfriend. I’m going to miss the hell out of you.” Rita Wilson described Keaton as “always laughing, smiling, creating,” while Bette Midler called her “brilliant, beautiful, extraordinary.”
Singer Pink said Keaton was her muse — “funny, fearless, and unapologetically herself.” Rising to fame in the 1970s with The Godfather and Annie Hall, Keaton became a trailblazer in both film and fashion. Her signature hats, vests, and ties inspired generations of women to embrace individuality.
Born Diane Hall in Los Angeles, she turned her mother’s maiden name into a Hollywood legacy. Her family has requested privacy. The world bids farewell to a true original — the woman who made us laugh, cry, and celebrate our quirks.
