Woody Allen remembered Diane Keaton in a personal essay after the actress died Oct. 11 at age 79. The two first met in 1969 while working on « Play it Again, Sam » together.
Woody Allen described a « drearier world » without ex-girlfriend and longtime friend Diane Keaton.
Allen wrote an essay about the movie star after her death at age 79.
« It’s grammatically incorrect to say ‘most unique,’ but all rules of grammar, and I guess anything else, are suspended when talking about Diane Keaton », he wrote for The Free Press. « Unlike anyone the planet has experienced or is unlikely to ever see again, her face and laugh illuminated any space she entered. »
Allen and Keaton first met while working on « Play it Again, Sam » in the early 1970s. Their romantic relationship only lasted a few years, but the two remained close friends for the next six decades.
The actor noted the two were both shy but eventually shared lunch together during rehearsal.
