Diane Keaton’s Rom-Com Legacy Redefined a Genre

0:00 / 0:42

Diane Keaton, who died unexpectedly this week, remade romantic comedy on her own terms. After a first major film role in The Godfather, she ping‑ponged between drama and rom‑coms, winning a best actress Oscar for Annie Hall, whose nervy, independent heroine recalibrated the genre. Keaton’s wit and nuance echoed through later stars and roles, from Baby Boom to Something’s Gotta Give, which brought her a final Oscar nomination and sparked stories of older women’s agency. Though often cast as wives and mothers, she lent depth and warmth to every lead. Her absence shocks; her influence feels impossible to overlook.
