The 98th Oscars in Los Angeles have paid tribute to one of Hollywood\u2019s best-loved and most singular stars, Diane Keaton, who died in October, aged 79<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rachel McAdams, who played Keaton\u2019s daughter in 2005\u2019s The Family Stone, took to stage to remember to a woman who \u201cwore so many hats, literally and figuratively\u201d, calling her \u201ca legend with no end\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor over 50 years, luminous on screen and indelible in life, believe me when I say there isn\u2019t an actress of my generation who is not inspired by and enthralled with her absolute singularity,\u201d said McAdams.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe wore so many hats, literally and figuratively \u2013 actress, artist, author, activist \u2013 but no hat more important to her than being a mother to her two children. She meant so much to so many of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

McAdams concluded: \u201cI remember she used to sing this old Girl Scout song on set, which is just so her: \u2018Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, and the other is gold. A circle is round, it has no end. That\u2019s how long I\u2019ll be your friend.\u2019 And so to our friend Diane Keaton<\/a>, celebrating a life in silver and gold, a legend with no end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keaton\u2019s death came as a shock to many in the industry. The actor had not been in the public eye for some months, but no illness had been announced.<\/p>\n

She won a leading actress Oscar for Woody Allen\u2019s 1977 film Annie Hall<\/a>, inspired by Keaton\u2019s own life, as well as starring in films including the Godfather trilogy, Reds, Father of the Bride, Manhattan, Baby Boom, The First Wives Club and Something\u2019s Gotta Give.<\/p>\n

She is survived by her two children, Duke and Dexter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 98th Oscars in Los Angeles have paid tribute to one of Hollywood\u2019s best-loved and most singular stars,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":332180,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-332179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332179\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/332180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
