It has emerged that Diane Keaton, who passed away on October 11 aged 79, died from pneumonia.
In a statement to People magazine, Keaton’s family said: “The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support they have received these past few days on behalf of their beloved Diane, who passed away from pneumonia on October 11.”
The statement continued: “She loved her animals and she was steadfast in her support of the unhoused community, so any donations in her memory to a local food bank or an animal shelter would be a wonderful and much appreciated tribute to her.”
The beloved actress, known for her comedic timing and sartorial elegance, won the Oscar and Bafta in 1978 for Woody Allen’s Annie Hall. She earned three other Oscar nods: for Warren Beatty’s Reds in 1982; Marvin’s Room starring Meryl Streep and Leonardo DiCaprio in 1997; and Something’s Gotta Give opposite Jack Nicholson in 2004.
Keaton never married and is survived by her adopted daughter Dexter and son Duke.
