The world was in shock when Diane Keaton passed away on October 11, 2025. The “Annie Hall” actress had always seemed larger than life, the most exuberant person in the room. With the announcement of her death, old friends like Al Pacino and Bette Midler spoke about their grief.
“I cannot tell you how unbearably sad this makes me,” Bette wrote. “She was hilarious, a complete original, and completely without guile, or any of the competitiveness one would have expected from such a star.”
But others shared their sadness, people who had met her in passing, or were just huge fans. Jennifer Garner and Diane Keaton never acted in anything together. Nonetheless, the “Alias” star took to Instagram to share her own tribute to Diane.
