Terence Stamp, Robert Redford, Claudia Cardinale and now Diane Keaton.
Looks like it's going to be "one of those years".
And yet somehow these celebrity deaths don't seem to linger on.
Burt Lancaster died 30 years ago. Why?
And why does that simultaneously surprise me and not surprise me at all?
And why do people always talk about celebrity deaths as if they died in their prime? Is it a subconscious desire to wallow in the James Dean Effect?

I'll have to google "James Dean effect."
Some celebrities are kind of milestones or roadmarks in many peoples' lives --- even if they weren't huge fans of the star in question; certain celebs are talked about in the media a lot during certain periods of the public's lives, and so there's a certain semi-nostalgia, one assumes.

Sad news!
Very difficult for me to pick my favorite role of hers but it would be hard to see her as anyone other than Kay Corleone in The Godfather.
Other movies I really enjoyed watching her in were Something’s Gotta Give and Morning Glory.

A lot of folks have a special place in their hearts for ANNIE HALL, but Woody and Keaton were apparently mystified by that.
But the movie just strikes a certain nostalgic romantic balance -- in a very '70s way -- that other pictures, including other Woody Allen pictures, don't quite.

I´m terribly sorry for her passing, she was the kind of actor that wasn´t "just an actor (or actress) to me. There is a before and after Diane Keaton´s debut with Woody Allen´s movies. Few actresses could "patent" a way of doing "comedy" as effortless and quickly as she did. I love all her films ("Manhattan" and "Crimes of the Heart" over "Annie Hall", though) except for "Interiors" and some really dumb ones she had to do to pay bills, I guess.
She was a really talented dramatic actress, and, in the prime of Meryl Streep (who debuted just a few years later), every gesture and tone and inflection and wink-wink of every other actress in the era, were taken out of the Streep Book of Acting. Those old enough remember how we said, "oh Patty Loverly is trying to pull a Meryl in this movie". We knew what we meant. Keaton was an original, especially in drama. Give her a good male co-star and she did wonders.
I don´t know if there are still some Diane Keatons out there, but even Meryl has become a parody of herself, now that "the whole world" loves her. Give me a Diane or a Jessica or a Kathy or a Fonda or a Sissy or a MacLaine any day. They (and their roles) are and will always be ageless.

So sad to hear that another Hollywood legend has passed away, i did not seen all if Diane Keaton's movies but i saw a few them, I haven't seen all the movies of Diane Keaton, but she was a great actress with a good taste in clothing and style.
She will be missed.

She will be missed.

I've only watched "First wives club" out of those movies. Then I've watched another movie too. I think it was something like "Welcome to the family" or something like that. It had Sarah Jessica Parker in it too and was from around 2006. Diane Keaton played the matriarch in that movie.
