Diane Keaton lived life to the fullest up until her death.
On October 11, news broke that the actress had died in California at the age of 79. A spokesperson for her family confirmed her death to People and added that Keaton’s relatives have “asked for privacy.”
While the Oscar-winning actress had a remarkable career on the big screen with noteworthy projects including Annie Hall, Something’s Gotta Give and The First Wives Club, Keaton never just stuck to one box.
In her final years of life, the actress explored everything from Christmas albums and eyewear brands to a cameo in one of Justin Bieber’s most memorable videos.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly in September 2022, Keaton said she wasn’t ruling anything out with future projects.
“I would say more of everything that comes my way. I don’t know what’s going to come my way. Maybe nothing’s going to come my way,” she shared. “I’ve been so lucky, and so I just don’t want to push off anything without knowing if I could have a chance to know, would I be doing it or what. I wouldn’t knock out anything unless I read something that I really felt that I wouldn’t be right for, something like that. That just is not good for me.”
As Hollywood continues to mourn Keaton’s loss, Us is taking a look back on all the accomplishments the businesswoman made in her final years of life:
Diane Keaton’s Eyewear Collection
In August 2024, Keaton launched the Diane Keaton x Lookoptic collection, which is composed of timeless readers in scratch-resistant standard or progressive lenses with clear or tinted options.
“When you think of iconic women that wear glasses, there is no one more iconic than Diane Keaton,” Lookoptic founder Andrew Leary told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement when the items first became available. “When we reached out to see if she would be interested in a collaboration, we discovered her favorite style had been discontinued. So, together we reimagined the silhouette, adding tints and new [colorways] and the Keaton was born!”
Diane Keaton’s Home Decor Line
During the summer of 2024, Keaton teamed up with Hudson Grace for the brand’s first-ever collaboration. Featuring everything from tableware and bedding to candles and dog bowls, the collection was a passion project for the actress.
“The collection is timeless,” Keaton previously told People. “The pieces aren’t one specific kind of design and are created for those who love family, friends and, most importantly, furry friends!”
Diane Keaton’s Christmas Album
In November 2024, Keaton proved it’s never too late to try something new when she released her debut holiday single titled “First Christmas.”
The Christmas ballad aimed to capture hope and peace even if you are missing someone dearly during the holiday season.
“It is such a beautiful sentiment, and I couldn’t wait to sing it,” Keaton said in a statement before the song’s release. “I’m very proud to be a part of this beautiful Christmas song, and I hope you enjoy it.”
Diane Keaton’s Cameo in Justin Bieber’s Music Video
When Bieber released the official music video for his hit single “Ghost,” fans couldn’t believe Keaton somehow made a guest appearance in the finished product.
The actress ultimately played Bieber’s grandmother mourning the loss of her husband in the three-and-a-half minute video.
“I hadn’t been a fan. I mean, I didn’t even know him,” Keaton told Metro in 2023. “I knew the music a little, and I liked the music, but I wasn’t a fan exactly. So, you know, I don’t have music pouring in my ears all the time. I don’t know why me, I still don’t understand. I don’t know how, but I loved it.”
Diane Keaton Lists Her Los Angeles Home
In March 2025, Keaton listed her Los Angeles mansion on the market for $29 million. The decision surprised some fans after the actress previously spent years carefully restoring the property and curating the perfect interior. She documented the process in a 2017 book called The House that Pinterest Built.
Diane Keaton’s Movie Roles
In 2024, Keaton appeared in two movies, including the comedy Summer Camp with Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard and Arthur’s Whisky alongside Patricia Hodge.
More recently, Keaton was expected to star in the survival thriller Constance. Production was reportedly set to begin in Los Angeles in August 2024.
Diane Keaton’s Private Health Concerns
A close friend of the Oscar winner revealed to People that Keaton “declined very suddenly, which was heartbreaking for everyone who loved her.”
“It was so unexpected, especially for someone with such strength and spirit,” the source explained. “In her final months, she was surrounded only by her closest family, who chose to keep things very private. Even longtime friends weren’t fully aware of what was happening.”
