Diane Keaton died in Los Angeles on Saturday at 79, her family said, confirming pneumonia as the cause. In a statement to People, relatives thanked fans for an outpouring of support and asked that donations be made to food banks or animal shelters, reflecting her love of animals and advocacy for the unhoused. The Los Angeles Fire Department transported her from her home that morning. The Oscar-winning Annie Hall star, also celebrated for the Godfather films and later collaborations with Nancy Meyers, was widely mourned; Bette Midler and Octavia Spencer praised her originality and called her a force.
