Al Pacino penned an emotional tribute to both his on-screen and off-screen girlfriend, Diane Keaton, after her family revealed she died of pneumonia.
The actor, 85, said he was rattled by her death and reflected on how she changed his life.
Pacino starred with Keaton in “The Godfather” trilogy and they also dated on and off for nearly 20 years.
“When I first heard the news, I was shaken,” he wrote in an essay for Deadline, noting that he was “deeply saddened” by Keaton’s death. “Diane was my partner, my friend, someone who brought me happiness and on more than one occasion influenced the direction of my life.”
“Though over thirty years has past since we were together, the memories remain vivid, and with her passing, they have returned with a force that is both painful and moving,” he continued.
