Hollywood and the entire film world are mourning the loss of one of its brightest stars. Diane Keaton, the inimitable actress, style icon, and symbol of feminism for several generations, has passed away at her California home at the age of 79. Over her long and prolific career, she gave audiences dozens of unforgettable performances, and her role in “Annie Hall” was deservedly awarded the Oscar, forever inscribing her name in history. The news was a real shock for fans and colleagues alike.
The circumstances of her passing remain shrouded in mystery. It is only known that in recent weeks, the actress’s health deteriorated sharply, but the official cause of death has not yet been announced. The family has requested respect for their privacy during this difficult time. According to some reports, on the morning of October 11, an ambulance was called to her residence after a report of an unconscious person. Those close to the actress confirm that her decline was swift and unexpected, even to her closest friends, who did not fully realize the seriousness of the situation. Indirect confirmation of health problems could be seen in the fact that her luxurious Los Angeles mansion was put up for sale in the spring.
Diane Keaton has always been independent, both on screen and in life. She has never been married, even though her relationships with Woody Allen in the 1970s and Warren Beatty after working together on the film ‘Reds’ were the talk of the world. After turning fifty and experiencing the loss of her father, she made the life-changing decision to become a mother, which, by her own admission, completely transformed her world. She adopted two children, her daughter Dexter and son Duke, who became her main purpose in life.
They will now inherit her multimillion-dollar estate. Her eldest daughter, Dexter, is now 29. She earned a degree as a veterinary technician and married several years ago. Her younger son, Duke, is 25 and has chosen to follow in his mother’s creative footsteps by pursuing a career in music. He is also exploring modeling and songwriting, providing Diane with tremendous support in recent years.
The star’s financial legacy is estimated by experts at over one hundred million dollars. In addition to the aforementioned Los Angeles mansion, valued at about twenty-nine million, her portfolio has included other real estate in prestigious areas of California and Arizona, which she successfully sold earlier. All of this will now be inherited by her children, Dexter and Duke Keaton.
