Diane Keaton, 79, died of pneumonia on Oct. 11, her family said in a statement to PEOPLE magazine, thanking supporters for their messages. They suggested donations to local food banks or animal shelters, noting her love of animals and support for the unhoused community. The Oscar-winning actress is survived by her adopted children, Dexter, 29, and Duke, 25. A source said her health declined very suddenly, and her final months were kept private among close family. Born Diane Hall in Los Angeles, she earned a Tony nomination for Play It Again, Sam.
