Diane Keaton was always a genre unto herself. On and off screen, she was effortlessly funny, achingly honest, and unafraid to mirror back to us what it means to be human in an impossible world. We love you, Diane, and we’ll celebrate you on our big screen and in our video store til the end of time.
