Diane Keaton was widely regarded as a true Hollywood icon and one of the most talented actresses of her generation. Over a career spanning nearly sixty years, she had captivated audiences and left an indelible mark on the world of film.
Her rise began in 1968, when she appeared as an understudy in the hippie musical Hair. Fate soon intervened: Woody Allen noticed her performance and invited her to join the Broadway production of Play It Again, Sam, launching a partnership that would shape much of her early career.
With her sudden and shocking passing in the early hours of October 11, the world lost a legend.
Diane Keaton’s cause of death remains unknown, but 911 audio call obtained by TMZ reveals heartbreaking details about her final moments.
According to 911 audio obtained by TMZ, a dispatcher reported a “person down” in the morning of her passing.
“Rescue 19, person down,” the dispatcher can be heard saying before reading out Keaton’s address.
Further, TMZ explained that the Los Angeles Fire Department rushed the actress to a local hospital. A department spokesperson later confirmed that paramedics had responded to a medical emergency at Keaton’s home and transported a person to the hospital, who was later confirmed to be the award-winning actress.
Her passing was confirmed by her family, People wrote. They said Keaton died “peacefully” early Saturday morning.
A close friend said Keaton’s health has declined in recent months.
“She declined very suddenly, which was heartbreaking for everyone who loved her,” the friend 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. Even longtime friends weren’t fully aware of what was happening,” the source added.
Grammy and Oscar-winning songwriter Carole Bayer Sager recalled her final meeting with Keaton, sharing with People that the two had met “two or three weeks ago,” and that Diane had “lost so much weight.”
Sager said Keaton had spent time in Palm Springs after her Los Angeles home was damaged by wildfires. “She was down there for a while, and when she came back, I was kind of stunned by how much weight she’d lost.
“I just loved her. She was so special—she lit up a room with her energy, she was happy and upbeat and taking photographs of everything she saw. She was completely creative; she never stopped creating.”
