Diane Keaton’s friend reveals details on her health condition weeks before death

Beloved actress Diane Keaton, famed for her roles in The Godfather trilogy and Annie Hall, has died at the age of 79.

Keaton, a celebrated and prolific actress, earned an Academy Award for Best Actress for Annie Hall, along with a BAFTA, two Golden Globes, and nominations for Emmys and a Tony, showing her ability to balance humor with emotion. She appeared in numerous other films, including Woody Allen’s Manhattan and all three Godfathermovies, playing Kay, Michael Corleone’s wife.

Tributes poured in from stars such as Reese Witherspoon, Jane Fonda, Goldie Hawn, and Steve Martin, who remembered her as “a truly original person.”

Keaton’s death came as a shock, although she had largely stepped back from public life in recent years.

Following her sudden passing, her friend, Grammy and Oscar-winning songwriter Carole Bayer Sager, recalled her final meeting with Keaton, sharing with Peoplethat the two had met “two or three weeks ago,” and that Diane had “lost so much weight.”

Keaton was spending most of her time in Palm Springs after the devastating California fires. “She had to go to Palm Springs because her house had been damaged inside, and they had to clean everything. She was down there for a while, and when she came back, I was kind of stunned by how much weight she’d lost,” Sager said, adding that Keaton was “a magic light for everyone.”

Sager added that even in her later years, Keaton never missed a chance to flaunt her stylish outfits. “She went to the movies always dressed like she was about to shoot another scene for Annie Hall,” she continued. “She’d wear her hats and her jackets and her baggy pants, and her belts, she was a fashion icon of her own making.”
