Years before her passing, beloved actress Diane Keaton quietly battled serious health challenges, including cancer and an eating disorder. Behind her radiant smile and signature hats was a woman of immense strength, facing her struggles with grace.

Close friend Carole Bayer Sager recently shared touching memories of her last visit with Keaton. She recalled the actress as noticeably thinner but still full of light, creativity, and humor. “She was a magic light for everyone,” Sager said warmly. “She just lit up every room she entered.”

Even in her later years, Keaton’s passion for art and storytelling never faded. She continued taking photographs, creating music, and inspiring those around her. Her 2024 song First Christmas was a heartfelt project that captured her childlike wonder and artistic soul.

Beyond her career, Keaton’s honesty about her health struggles — from early skin cancer to overcoming bulimia — made her an advocate for self-care and resilience. Her courage, authenticity, and unforgettable charm will forever shine as part of Hollywood’s most cherished legacy.
