00:00Strange topic in the United States, Diane Keaton, one of the best-loved film stars of the past 50 years, has died at the age of 79 in California.
00:09Keaton's death came as a shock across Hollywood and around the world.
00:13The actor had not been in the public eye for several months and no illness had been publicly announced.
00:20People magazine, which confirmed the news, quoted a source close to the actor who said that Keaton's health had declined very suddenly in recent months.
00:29Adding that even many of her longtime friends weren't fully aware of what was happening.
00:35Keaton was an enduring and singular icon of cinema since her Oscar-winning performance in Annie Hall.
00:42She starred in some of the most influential films of the past half-century, including The Godfather, Baby Boom, Father of the Bride, The First Wife Club, and Bug Club.
00:52Her sharp, self-deprecating humour, natural gift for comedy, and unique fashion seems rarely seen without a hat, turtle neck, or a man's tight and wide-legged trousers, made her unmistakable and impossible to imitate.
01:08Thank you very much.
