Sissy Spacek ‘Teary’ as She Recounts Diane Keaton’s Kind Prank on ‘Crimes of the Heart’ Set

Sissy Spacek grew emotional while remembering her late friend and co‑star Diane Keaton, recalling a touching and playful moment on the set of the 1986 film “Crimes of the Heart.”

In an interview with Ethan Hawke for Interview magazine published on Monday, Nov. 17, Spacek described how Keaton’s kindness and sense of humor made a big impression — especially on Spacek’s young daughter.

Spacek said that during filming, she and Jessica Lange shared a house-turned-dressing‑area close to the set.

Because both were working mothers — Spacek had her daughter, Schuyler — that arrangement created a warm, familial atmosphere.

Keaton, meanwhile, stayed nearby in a more private space, balancing respect for her friends’ parenting time with her own need for solitude.

The Sweet Moment Keaton Had With Spacek’s Daughter

One memory stood out above all. Spacek recalled her daughter Schuyler, then about four or five, playing with a pretend doctor’s kit.

“Diane came in and saw her,” she began. “She fell to the floor and rolled over on her back and went, ‘Oh my arm!’”

Spacek added, “Schuyler was looking down at her, and within the next 15 minutes, she was covered in candy pills and Band-Aids. I’ll never forget that. I get teary when I think about it. That’s Diane Keaton.”

The moment clearly moved Spacek, as she mentioned she gets “teary” while thinking of it.

It resonated as more than a prank — it was a symbol of Keaton’s caring nature and her gift for making people, especially children, feel seen and loved.

In “Crimes of the Heart,” Spacek, Keaton, and Lange played three very different Magrath sisters, navigating trauma, reconciliation and shared history.

“Watching ‘Crimes of the Heart’ was wonderful — all these women loving each other,” Hawk told the 75-year-old.

She added, “We still love each other.”

Keaton Passed Away in October

Hollywood was in mourning when the sad news of Keaton’s passing broke in October.

Her family put out a statement with PEOPLE stating she died from pneumonia.

“The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support they have received these past few days on behalf of their beloved Diane,” it read.

It continued by telling friends and fans how they can remember Keaton if they so wish.

“She loved her animals and she was steadfast in her support of the unhoused community, so any donations in her memory to a local food bank or an animal shelter would be a wonderful and much appreciated tribute to her,” the statement concluded.
