The American actress Diane Keaton (Los Angeles, 1946) has died at the age of 79, as reported by a family spokesperson, who has asked for privacy and respect for those close to her, this Saturday afternoon to the publication People. The performer won an Oscar for her role in Annie Hall and It won two Golden Globes and a Bafta. She was also known for her work in films such as The bride’s father either The First Wives Club. But above all, it revolutionized the way women were shown in the industry. From the beginning, Keaton disdained princely outfits and opted for pants, bowler hats, vests and ties, in addition to defining himself as a bit crazy and anti-cosmetic surgery. He created his own way of dressing, which was simply the packaging of a different way of understanding life and interpretation. And that includes his constant support of Woody Allen and strange film choices, with which he obviously gave metaphorical manga cuts to easy stardom.
Keaton began his career in cinema in the seventies and played his first relevant role when he played Kay Adams in the film The godfather. Daughter of a civil engineer and a housewife who sang and played the piano—probably, her daughter predicts, she lived the career that her mother secretly longed for—Diane Hall, who was her name at birth, quickly fled to New York as soon as she studied acting at the university, and as her stage name she selected her mother’s maiden name, Keaton.
The actress was one of Woody Allen’s muses, and appeared in films such as The sleepyhead (1973), The last night of Boris Grushenko (1975) and Annie Hall (1977).
