Diane Keaton, the Academy Award-winning Annie Hall actress who had Hollywood in her hands with that first “la-di-da,” has died at 79, according to People . Per a family spokesperson, her loved ones have stated no further details will be shared at this time. She is survived by her two children.

In 1978, The New Yorker wrote that Keaton was “one of the most comedically pure and brainy actresses in our midst”. It was the same year she scooped an Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA Award for her performance as the anxious title lead in Woody Allen’s Annie Hall . Time magazine had called her “the funniest woman now working in films” the previous year, and Rolling Stone defined Diane Keaton as “The Next Hepburn” on its cover.
