Diane Keatonâs latest Instagram post offered the world one last glimpse into her gentle, grounded spirit. Just days before her passing at age 79, the Academy Awardâwinning actress shared a heartfelt photo featuring her beloved dog, Reggie, in honor of National Pet Day. Known for her humor, warmth, and authenticity, Keatonâs post captured the simplicity and love that defined her both on and off screen. What appeared to be a casual snapshot now feels like a quiet, graceful farewell â a reminder of the way she lived: with heart, creativity, and genuine joy for lifeâs small moments.
Final Post Before Passing
On April 11, Keaton posted the photo in collaboration with Hudson Grace, a home and lifestyle brand she often partnered with.
The image showed her alongside Reggie in a cozy, natural moment. Her caption read, âProof our pets have great taste too! Happy National Pet Day from HG & @diane_keaton ð¤ð¾.â At the time, it seemed like a simple, cheerful post. In hindsight, it perfectly reflected her essence â candid, loving, and unpretentious.
Remembering Reggie & Keatonâs Love for Animals
Keaton adopted Reggie in 2020, and he quickly became a favorite on her social media. She often shared glimpses of him lounging around her home or joining her on walks, giving fans a peek into her quieter, personal world. Her affection for Reggie highlighted the same warmth and compassion she brought to her roles â a genuine love for connection in all forms.
Her Instagram often featured moments of humor and comfort: her signature wide-brimmed hats, her art-filled home, and playful glimpses of daily life. Even in her final post, she celebrated companionship rather than celebrity. It was less about self-promotion and more about appreciation â for her dog, her home, and the beauty in ordinary joy.
A Legacy of Warmth, Humor & Artistry
Beyond social media, Diane Keatonâs career left a lasting mark on Hollywood. She first gained attention in âThe Godfatherâ before earning an Academy Award for Best Actress for âAnnie Hall.â Over the decades, she starred in favorites such as âFather of the Bride,â âThe First Wives Club,â âSomethingâs Gotta Give,â and âBook Club.â
Even in recent years, Keaton kept creating and sharing. In 2024, she released âFirst Christmas,â her first solo holiday song, showing her endless curiosity and creative energy. For her 77th birthday, she posted a self-deprecating message that read, âHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE⦠ME!â That blend of humor and honesty defined her to the end.
Her final Instagram post â a simple moment with Reggie â summed up her legacy: love, authenticity, and gratitude for lifeâs small joys. Diane Keatonâs goodbye wasnât loud or scripted. It was real, kind, and completely her.
