ululate!

Actress Diane Keaton is dead at the age of 79 after a decades-long career that included a long association with Woody Allen. Her manner of death remains undisclosed, but she had apparently been silent on social media since this past April. For whatever reason, when I first read the news of Keaton's death, I confused her with Michelle Pfeiffer. Keaton played roles in everything from 1972's "The Godfather" to 1977's "Annie Hall." Her career included roles in movies, theater, and TV well into the 2020s. As Keaton got older, her look began to remind me more and more of my high school French teacher. I admit I haven't really followed Keaton's achievements with much interest or enthusiasm, but her name has long been a recurring element of the ever-changing cultural tapestry of Hollywood. It's a surprise that she's already gone. 79 seems young these days. RIP.
