American actress Diane Keaton, who won the Oscar in 1978 for her role in the film “Annie Hall,” passed away in California at the age of 79, according to a family spokesperson who spoke to People magazine on Saturday.

No details about the cause of death have been provided yet, according to the magazine.

Keaton began her prolific film career in 1970 with the movie “Lovers and Other Strangers.” She appeared in the “Godfather” film series playing the role of Al Pacino’s wife. She also participated in several Woody Allen films, with whom she maintained a long friendship after being his partner, muse, and favorite actress for many years.

Thanks to her leading role in “Annie Hall,” she won the Oscar for Best Actress in 1978.

She was nominated for three other awards for “Reds” released in 1981, “Marvin’s Room” (1996), and “Something’s Gotta Give” (2003).

She continued acting in films after passing seventy years of age, notably starring in “Book Club” (2018) as a retiree, and “Poms” in 2019.

In an interview with Agence France-Presse, Diane Keaton said she does not think about retirement or aging.

She stated, “Even if no one calls me (for roles), I have many activities to fill my time.”

Keaton, who never married and adopted two sons, confirmed she has no regrets in life, including personally.

The actress, who had long romantic relationships with various stars, said, “I think I am one of the rare single women my age who acted in films without being married. I might be an exception to the rule,” affirming, “I am not unhappy.”

Her latest film role was in “Summer Camp” in 2024.
