While no cause of death has been confirmed, she died in California, People confirmed.
The Independent has contacted Keaton’s representatives for comment.

Her other major acting credits included leading roles in The First Wives Club (1996), Something’s Gotta Give (2003) and Book Club (2018).

Born January 5, 1946, the Hollywood legend first got her start in acting with her Broadway debut in the original 1968 production of Hair.
She returned to Broadway the following year in her Annie Hall director, Woody Allen’s, play Play It Again, Sam. Her performance alongside Allen in his comedic play landed her a Tony nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Play. Allen later adapted the play into a film, with Keaton reprising her role.
In 1970, Keaton made her on-screen debut in the 1970 romcom Lovers and Other Strangers. That same year, she made her first TV appearance in an episode of the three-season romance Love, American Style.
