Belatedly reading about this and as always really important to remind people in *every breath* that when the right talks about “woke” and “DEI” they are talking about the cultural and political wins of the civil rights movement. This arrangement existed for 52 years because of historical activism.

Thankful that just three years ago I was able to write about how much I loved her and especially her late career choices that many people judged. RIP Diane. You stayed true to you to the very end. Glad you got to sing like you always wanted before the end.

What Makes This Goofy-Era Diane Keaton So Appealing?

The prestige actress now does movies like “Poms,” “Book Club” and the “Freaky Friday”-esque “Mack & Rita.” It’s so cringey. But why does it make us love her even more?

Walked out of a movie to news of Diane Keaton passing away and I don’t even know what to say. One of the most important actresses to me personally, someone whose career and style has influenced my own deeply. We were so lucky to have her.

Jesus. Diane Keaton. RIP to a legend who managed to carve out a lifelong career in an industry that frequently robs women like her of dignity and status once they hit 40.

Diane just threw on a turtleneck and said "fuck you, I'm still going."

the ending of THE GODFATHER, the best american movie ever made, doesn't work without diane keaton's final look --- at the realization of who she's married and what her life is going to become and what corruption lurks behind closed doors. unforgettable, inimitable work. RIP.

That's kinda interesting because that same year she directed the video for Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven Is A Place On Earth." #DianeKeaton

HEAVEN is a gem. Just a weird, casual inquiry into various ideas of the afterlife. And it's on Tubi right now!

Heaven (1987)

In Diane Keaton's directorial debut, she analyzes how Hollywood has portrayed the afterlife through a series of clips, interviews, and more.

Here’s the other two films plus her director title card for episode 22 of TWIN PEAKS

Along with directing an episode of TWIN PEAKS, Diane Keaton also directed four movies (one doc, three features).

I’ve only seen two: HANGING UP and WILDFLOWER. They’re both flawed but interesting and make me wish she’s directed more films. I gotta track down the other two.

Diane Keaton, Meg Ryan, and Lisa Kudrow in Keaton’s HANGING UP

Patricia Arquette in Keaton’s WILDFLOWER

When I interviewed her for my book Gillian Armstrong told me that the studio was interfering when they were maybe a day behind schedule filming MRS. SOFFEL and Diane Keaton called the studio and said “Leave Gil alone. She’s doing a great job.” And the studio left her alone the rest of the shoot.

Rest in peace to the great Diane Keaton, fearless and unique, a dream actress indeed. 📷 Norman Seeff, Los Angeles, 1975
