The death has been announced of iconic Hollywood actress and Oscar winner, Diane Keaton, famed for her roles in Annie Hall, The Godfather, and several other classics.
According to a statement released by her family on Saturday, Keaton passed away in California at the age of 79.
While the family did not disclose the cause of death, they requested privacy as they mourn the beloved actress.
Naija News gathered that Keaton had not made any public appearances in recent months, though no illness had been publicly announced before her passing.
Known for her distinctive fashion sense — often sporting hats, turtlenecks, and wide-legged trousers — Keaton became one of Hollywood’s most celebrated stars, renowned for her charm and individuality both on and off screen.
Her major breakthrough came in 1977 when she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Woody Allen’s Annie Hall, a role inspired by her own personality and life.
