Diane Keaton blessed the film industry with countless performances, such as in The Godfather, Annie Hall, Reds and The First Wives Club. As such, her death broke hearts across Hollywood as fans, former co-stars and friends try to grapple with it. While the late 79-year-old’s cause of death has not been revealed yet, many are wondering if a funeral will be held for the public to say “goodbye.”
Below, get updates on how Keaton will be honored posthumously.
At the time of publication, it is unclear whether Keaton’s family plans to hold a public funeral or a private memorial. No one from her inner circle has commented on possible arrangements.
Keaton’s cause of death has yet to be disclosed at the time of publication. However, sources close to the late actress said her health had “declined” during her final months.
“She declined very suddenly, which was heartbreaking for everyone who loved her,” a friend of Keaton’s told People. “It was so unexpected, especially for someone with such strength and spirit. … In her final months, she was surrounded only by her closest family, who chose to keep things very private.”
The source added, “Even longtime friends weren’t fully aware of what was happening.”
Another friend of Keaton’s Carole Bayer Sager told People in a separate interview that she saw the Oscar winner “two or three weeks” before her death, “and she was very thin.”
