Diane Keaton, the legendary actress known for her Oscar-winning role in "Annie Hall" and iconic performances in "The Godfather" and "The First Wives Club," has died at age 79.
Keaton's death was confirmed by Dori Rath, a producer who worked with her.
No other information about a cause of death was immediately available. The Los Angeles Fire Department said it responded to a medical call to Keaton's Brentwood home at 8:08 a.m. local time on Saturday and took a patient to the hospital.
Keaton rose to fame in the 1970s with her role as Kay Adams in "The Godfather" films and her acclaimed collaborations with director Woody Allen, including "Play It Again, Sam," "Sleeper" and "Annie Hall," the latter of which earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress in 1978.
Known for her offbeat humor and timeless fashion sense, she went on to star in a string of hits spanning generations, from "Baby Boom" and "Father of the Bride" to "The First Wives Club," "Something's Gotta Give" and the "Book Club" franchise.
Born Diane Hall in Los Angeles in 1946, Keaton was the oldest of four children. She studied acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York before making her Broadway debut in "Hair." Beyond acting, Keaton was a director, producer, photographer and bestselling author.
In 2020, Keaton sat down with ABC News' Juju Chang in an interview that aired on "Good Morning America," where she revealed details of her complicated relationship with her brother, Randy, and his struggles with mental illness and alcohol.
"When I look back on Randy, I just think wow -- I wish I could've been a better sister," Keaton told ABC News.
