In the pictures of her older, it doesn’t look like any lifts, Botox or other shenanigans, she still looks beautiful.

According to Wikipedia (for whatever that’s worth), she publicly rejected the idea of plastic surgery.

Many people would if they just let nature take its course. Demi Moore, Meg Ryan, several non-celebrity people I’m familiar with.

She didn’t believe in plastic surgery. She was a true original.

Never gave a mediocre performance. From Looking for Mr. Goodbar to outright comedies, she was always center stage. She took her kid into the YMCA, heading to the gym for basketball. I said hi, and she stopped and talked to me with that gorgeous, winning smile and seemed willing to continue talking to me, a stranger, even though her son was eager to get to the court. What a generous spirit she was.

That was such a scary movie. So well acted and the writing was awesome. One did make an effort to know who one was dating before that first date after this movie!

In 2016, I saw her on Amtrak from LA (we were headed to Chicago). She was smaller than I'd assumed, chatting with passengers, standing in the aisle. I heard she didn't fly.

Let's not forget: LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR...

Her passing hit me hard this afternoon. But what a beautiful tribute you’ve written.

I’ve been off Woody Allen films for a while now, but I need to binge “Annie Hall” and “Manhattan” (along with “Reds” and “Baby Boom”). God, I’ll miss her.

I’m embarrassed to say I never saw that in its entirety! I’ll add it to my list.

Sasha, thank you so much for your beautiful tribute to Diane Keaton.

I think she was one of ‘those’ famous people that everyone loved.

I saw her once in Marina del Rey in the library parking lot. She was on her bicycle waiting to cross the street. She was dressed just like Annie Hall. I thought, oh she’s riding her bike and dressed just like Annie Hall! She will missed. She brought her light to the screen and we all got to love her.

I am usually emotionally immune to the passing of actors and actresses but this one stings. Annie Hall is also one of my all time favorite movies- one I have seen well over a dozen times in my life.

Yes so true. Someone once told me I reminded them of her…tho it was only because I was sporting the Annie Hall fashion trend that movie had inspired!

Diane Keaton was a wonderful roll model for so many women! I remember as a young woman how she was so natural and beautiful and always at ease with herself. Diane I will miss you as so many others will.
