Filmmaker Nancy Meyers honored her longtime friend and collaborator Diane Keaton, who died Saturday at 79, calling her “fearless” and “born to be a movie star.” In an Instagram tribute, Meyers recalled their work on Baby Boom, Father of the Bride and its sequel, and Something’s Gotta Give, praising Keaton’s precision, vulnerability, and comic instincts, noting she sometimes spun before takes to be “in the moment.” Citing Annie Hall and Reds, Meyers said Keaton “made everything better,” adding that knowing and working with her “changed my life.” “Thank you Di. I’ll miss you forever.”
