Beloved actress Diane Keaton passed away on October 11, 2025, at 79, leaving fans and Hollywood in mourning. Behind her trademark turtlenecks and infectious smile, the Annie Hall star had faced lifelong health struggles, including skin cancer and bulimia, both of which deeply shaped her life and advocacy.
Diagnosed with skin cancer at 21, Keaton later became an outspoken advocate for sun protection, joining L’Oréal Paris as a spokeswoman. She also fought bulimia in her twenties, a secret struggle that nearly destroyed her until therapy helped her heal. Despite her challenges, she remained private, resilient, and fiercely creative throughout her career.
In her final months, Keaton focused on simple joys — her beloved dog Reggie and her creative projects. She even fulfilled a lifelong dream by releasing her first holiday single, “First Christmas,” in 2024, a reflection of her enduring artistic spirit.
From The Godfather to Something’s Gotta Give, Keaton redefined what it meant to be authentic in Hollywood. Known for her wit, grace, and individuality, she was more than an icon — she was a woman of courage and charm who turned vulnerability into strength. Gone but never forgotten, Diane Keaton remains one of the brightest lights in cinematic history.
