Diane Keaton, the Oscar-winning star of Annie Hall, The Godfather and Father of the Bride, has died at 79. Her death was confirmed to NPR by Dori Rath, a producer of Keaton’s films; no other details were available. The unexpected news was met with shock around the world. Bette Midler, her First Wives Club co-star, called her “hilarious,” “a complete original,” and “without guile.” Keaton’s career spanned beloved collaborations with Woody Allen and Nancy Meyers, four Oscar nominations including a win for Annie Hall, and memorable turns from Baby Boom to Something’s Gotta Give.
