Keaton’s career was a vibrant tapestry of diverse roles, but she is perhaps best remembered for her iconic collaboration with Woody Allen.

Her portrayal of the quirky, fashion-forward Annie Hall in the 1977 film of the same name not only earned her an Oscar for Best Actress but also redefined cinematic fashion and character development. Her naturalistic acting and endearing vulnerability made Annie Hall a cultural touchstone.

Before her groundbreaking turn in 'Annie Hall,' Keaton captivated audiences with her powerful performances in Francis Ford Coppola’s monumental 'The Godfather' saga.

As Kay Adams-Corleone, she brought depth and complexity to the wife of Michael Corleone, navigating a world of immense power and moral ambiguity. Her presence in these films cemented her status as a serious dramatic actress capable of holding her own alongside the industry's titans.

Beyond these seminal roles, Keaton's expansive career showcased her versatility across genres, from romantic comedies like 'Something's Gotta Give' to dramas such as 'Reds.' Her ability to imbue each character with a distinct personality, often blending intelligence with a self-effacing wit, made her a beloved figure on screen.

Diane Keaton's influence extended beyond her acting; she was a fashion icon, an author, and a photographer, continually reinventing herself and inspiring others to embrace individuality.

Her passing marks the end of an era, but her legacy of unforgettable characters, groundbreaking performances, and enduring style will continue to inspire and entertain for years to come. She will be deeply missed by fans and colleagues alike.
