“The brilliant, beautiful, extraordinary Diane Keaton has passed away. I cannot tell you how unbearably sad this makes me.
“She was hilarious, completely original and without any malice or the competitiveness one would expect from such a star,” Midler wrote on her social media.
The Oscar winner for the Woody Allen comedy ‘Annie Hall’ (1977), director of several films and entrepreneur of a wine brand named after her, died on Saturday, October 11, but it is still unknown where, when she passed away or the cause.
Also dedicating a photo and message to him on her Instagram was Kimberly Williams-Paisley, who played Keaton’s daughter in the ‘Father of the Bride’ films (1991, 1995 and 2020).
“Diane, working with you will always be one of the highlights of my life.
“You are one of a kind, and it was thrilling to be in your circle for a while. Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, your talent, and most of all, your laughter,” Williams-Paisley wrote.
Actress Rosie O’Donnell said on her social media that the news of Keaton’s death “breaks her heart.”
“Love to her children, what style, what grace! We will miss her,” O’Donnell noted.
Keaton became a single mother in her fifties by adopting her two sons, Dexter and Duke, in 1996 and 2001, respectively.
Actress Elizabeth Perkins, meanwhile, said in her networks that Keaton was “a national treasure, with style, grace, intelligence and immense talent.”
“Thank you for being my modern heroine and showing a young actress what it meant to be brave, self-critical but confident, and always open, bold and courageous,” wrote Perkins.
