While never married, Keaton was romantically tied to fellow stars Al Pacino, Warren Beatty and Woody Allen over the years, and became a single mother in her early to mid-50s.
Keaton is survived by her two children, daughter Dexter, 29, and son Duke, 25, who she adopted in 1996 and 2001 respectively.
Speaking on her decision to adopt, Keaton told Ladies Home Journal in 2008 that she “didn’t think that I was ever going to be prepared to be a mother”.
“Motherhood was not an urge I couldn’t resist, it was more like a thought I’d been thinking for a very long time. So I plunged in.”
More to come.
