Kareena Kapoor Khan mourns Hollywood star Diane Keaton's demise, names her favourite movies

Kareena paid tribute to the Oscar-winning actress on her Instagram story by posting the names of her favourite movies that featured the Hollywood icon.

"Thank you for your joyful performance," she wrote.

Among her favourite Keaton movies, Kareena mentioned The First Wives Club and Marvin's Room.

Oscar-winning actress Diane Keaton, celebrated for her distinctive charm, wit, and groundbreaking performances in films such as Annie Hall and The Godfather, has died at the age of 79 in California, media reports said on Saturday.

The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed to PEOPLE magazine that emergency responders were called to Keaton’s home at 8:08 a.m. local time and transported a 79-year-old woman to a nearby hospital. The cause of death has not yet been disclosed.

“There are no further details available at this time, and her family has asked for privacy in this moment of great sadness,” a spokesperson told PEOPLE.

Born in Los Angeles in 1946, Keaton rose to prominence in the late 1960s and 1970s with her sharp comedic timing and unconventional screen presence. She gained international fame for portraying Kay Adams-Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather trilogy, a role that remains among her most memorable.

Keaton’s long association with director Woody Allen led to several acclaimed performances, including her Oscar-winning turn as the neurotic yet endearing title character in Annie Hall (1977), which earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress.

Her versatile career spanned over five decades, with standout roles in films such as The First Wives Club (1996), Something’s Gotta Give (2003), and the Book Club series. In 2003’s Something’s Gotta Give, where she starred opposite Jack Nicholson, Keaton earned critical acclaim and box office success, as the film grossed over $266 million worldwide.

In 2024, she appeared alongside Eugene Levy and Kathy Bates in the comedy Summer Camp, marking one of her final screen appearances.
