Hollywood is mourning the loss of one of its brightest stars. Beloved actress Diane Keaton has died at 79, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, honesty, and quiet strength. Behind her signature turtlenecks and sharp humor, Keaton fought private health battles for decades — including skin cancer and bulimia — that few ever knew about.

“She was a woman of grace and grit,” said a close friend. “Even in pain, she carried herself with light.” Diagnosed with skin cancer in her early 20s, Keaton spent years raising awareness about sun safety. Later, she bravely spoke about her struggle with bulimia, revealing that therapy helped her reclaim her health and happiness.

In her final months, Keaton focused on simple joys — her beloved dog Reggie and her lifelong dream of recording music. Her debut holiday single, First Christmas, released in 2024, was a heartfelt reminder that it’s never too late to chase your dreams.

Fans remember her as a true original — a woman who lived with authenticity, humor, and courage. “She taught us to love ourselves, flaws and all,” one admirer wrote. Diane Keaton may be gone, but her light will never fade.
