Diane Keaton movies including forgotten rom-com hit after star’s heartbreaking death

Diane Keaton died in LA on October 11, at the age of 79.

Diane Keaton fans were heartbroken to hear the award-winning American actress had died following a sudden period of declining health.

Tributes to the LA-born star have been flooding in, with co-stars from across her extensive career remembering her greatest moments.

She was known for her leading film roles and for her distinctive fashion style, and worked closely with Woody Allen, acting in eight of his films.

Although best known for playing Kay Adams in The Godfather, she made her film debut in Lovers and Other Strangers.

The romantic comedy was adapted from the 1968 Broadway play and it starred Sylvester Stallone as an extra.

The film was nominated for three Academy Awards and it was one of the top box-office performers of 1970.

In fact, it established fellow actor Richard S. Castellano as a star, and he and Diane Keaton would go on to be cast in The Godfather.

Keaton’s other notable films include Sleeper, Love and Death and Manhattan – all collaborations with Woody Allen.

Allen even credited Keaton as his muse during his early film career.

In the late 70s, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for Allen’s romantic comedy-drama Annie Hall, which would be one of her most iconic roles.

Annie Hall was in fact loosely on Keaton, with “Annie” being a nickname of hers, and “Hall” being her original surname.

After establishing herself as a world-class actress, she went on to star in the 1996 comedy The First Wives Club.

The film was a major success and developed a cult following among middle-aged women, garnering positive reviews.

She had a resurgence in the early 00s, with the romantic comedy Something’s Gotta Give.

Victoria Beckham’s Netflix success leaves bosses eyeing up Spice Girls documentary

Victoria Beckham’s Netflix series launched this week, with her opening the doors on family life and her fashion busines – now Netflix reportedly has a new idea in the pipeline

Chiefs at Netflix are keen to build a series looking at the creation, global domination, split and then comeback of The Spice Girls – with Posh Spice at the helm.

Conversations have reportedly happened behind closed doors for the ultimate docuseries on the iconic band. With insiders saying Victoria is vital to such a show, as she is the only way it will become a reality.

For the last decade, Mel B and Geri Halliwell have been trying to create either a film or a show covering the Girl Power group’s rise in the 1990s. But these efforts have failed because of many factors, including fallout and Victoria’s distance from some projects.

A source said: “David and Victoria are really valued at Netflix. The senior figures admire the couple for taking the step of telling their stories with them. And the results have been incredible. David’s show won an Emmy and remains a huge hit. Already, the interest in Victoria’s show is enormous. “That has sparked a desire to continue working on projects and ideas. And obviously, The Spice Girls’ story is one hundred per cent a goal to have a documentary on.

“For three decades, other people have told the girls’ stories, but no one has ever had the whole truth of their journey together on screen told fully.” They say Victoria is a “key player” in it and explain: “She has shied away from opportunities before and if she does it then the likelihood everyone will come out.

But there is a desire from Netflix to give the girls a platform to discuss their takes on that astonishing time – and ideally together stay around talking about it. It would be pure dynamite and amazing content.

“Naturally given that Studio 99 have delivered these two shows so far with so much captivating and powerful content it would be a natural fit for that project plan to land at their door.” The insider said that “the discussions have been gently raised about a Spice Girls project”. Victoria’s Netflix series launched this week, with her opening the doors on family life and her fashion business. Four of the five Spice Girls reunited for the premiere, with Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Horner all turning out in support. But Mel B was absent.

Princess Eugenie left empty seat next to Prince Andrew at her wedding due to strict rule

On this day seven years ago, Eugenie tied the knot with Jack Brooksbank, with one empty seat in St George’s Chapel drawing in a lot of attention for one key reason

Today, Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank are celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary.

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s youngest daughter tied the knot with Brooksbank, a British marketing executive, on October 12 2018, exchanging their vows in St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle in front of the entire royal family, including the late Queen.

More than 850 people, including Robbie Williams and Cara Delevigne, packed into the chapel to see Eugenie and Jack get married, but if you look closely, you can see one prime seat at the front of the chapel in front of the former monarch was left empty, despite the packed guestlist.

While the empty seat drew a lot of attention, it wasn’t because of a last minute no-show on the big day. It was, however, due to a decades long royal tradition held by the late Queen.

That’s because traditionally the monarch and the rest of the royals sit on the right-hand-side of the quire in St George’s Chapel. Her late Majesty is said to have preferred to sit in the second row of seats, as, according to The Sun , she found the front row uncomfortable.

With tradition dictating that no one is allowed to sit in front of the Queen and obstruct her view, this is why the seat – possibly the best seat in the house – was left empty.

The same seat was also left empty months earlier when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle married in the same chapel, and in 2022 when a committal service for the late Queen was held there on the day of her funeral, an empty space was left in the row in front of King Charles .

However, there was one key member of the royal family missing on Eugenie’s wedding day – Queen Camilla . Instead, she attended a school harvest festival in Scotland , which she had agreed to make an appearance at before Eugenie’s wedding date had been confirmed.

On her big day, Eugenie opted for a dress that featured a low-cut back while also deciding to not wear a veil. She said she wanted to change the perception of “beauty” by showing off the scoliosis scar on her spine.

Eugenie underwent surgery at just 12 years old at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital so titanium could be added to repair the curvature that had been caused by her scoliosis. “You can show people your scars and it’s really special,” she previously told This Morning. “I think you can change the way beauty is, and you can show people your scars and I think it’s really special to stand up for that.”

Since marrying in 2018, Eugenie and Jack have welcomed two children – August, who was born in February 2021 and Ernest, who arrived in late May 2023.

Prince Harry’s weakness exposed as he ‘learns hard lesson’ in latest crushing blow

A charity that Prince Harry helps to spearhead has hit the headlines after an African country cut close links with it – and one expert believes it might be a lesson for the Duke of Sussex

Prince Harry may have stepped out with wife Meghan in New York City, highlighting charitable causes in the Big Apple. But the Duke of Sussex has seemingly suffered a series of blows when it comes to his charitable endeavours in Africa.

Earlier this year, he stepped down from Sentebale, an organisation he founded to help children orphaned by Aids in Botswana and Lesotho, following a public war of words with its chairwoman Dr Sophie Chandauka, who levelled accusations of bullying and harassment against the duke, which he denied. And last week it emerged that an African wildlife charity part run by the Duke of Sussex has seen its mandates to manage key animal reservations in Chad withdrawn by the country’s government.

African Parks managed 22 national parks and protected areas across 12 countries, including two wildlife reserves in Chad – the Ennedi Natural and Cultural Reserve and the Greater Zakouma Ecosystem, which includes the Zakouma and Siniaka-Minia national parks.

But the non-profit organisation, of which Harry is a board member and former president, said on Tuesday that the Chadian government had ended its mandates to manage the wildlife reserves.

A minister from the country said in a statement that the charity had showed “a recurring indelicate and disrespectful attitude toward the government”. According to royal expert Jennie Bond, Harry “certainly isn’t having much luck with his charity work in Africa”.

And she believes it could be a wake-up call. The former BBC royal correspondent told the Mirror : “Although he doesn’t seem to be directly implicated in this latest fallout, the Chad Government does cite what it perceives to be his charity’s ‘arrogant and disrespectful behaviour’.

“I think he has probably now learned that setting up charities and managing them successfully is a complex business. And, through no fault of his own, Harry doesn’t have much experience of running a business.”

In response to Chad cutting ties, African Parks said it is in talks to “better understand the government’s position” and “explore the best way forward to support the continued protection of these critical landscapes”.

The charity added: “African Parks will continue to keep its partners and stakeholders informed, as further clarity is obtained.”

And Jennie added: “Perhaps Harry would be better advised in future to use his platform, and it is a powerful and influential platform, to support established charities and causes he believes in — without getting involved in their management.

“He already does that with the WellChild Awards, and his attendance is hugely valuable in every way. Having said that, his Invictus Games are an undoubted success and go from strength to strength. So he must be doing something right!”

Jennifer Aniston’s 29p superfood lunchtime ‘secret’ to keeping youthful glow

There’s one ingredient that goes into the star’s salads that boosts the health benefits

Jennifer Aniston, famed for her role as Rachel Green on the sitcom Friends, does a lot to maintain her healthy lifestyle, with the right diet being crucial. The 56-year-old star is said to opt for salad often when she is on the go or between filming.

While most of us picture a heaping bowl of lettuce when we think of salads, the Hollywood star has a secret ingredient up her sleeve. It’s this something extra that she tosses into her salads that might be unlocking a lot of benefits.

Quinoa, a staple of the Mediterranean diet, is an excellent source of plant-based protein. It’s praised by scientists as a complete protein because it boasts all nine essential amino acids.

These edible seeds are gluten-free, fibre-rich and brimming with protein, vitamins, and minerals. This grain offers a wealth of health benefits, especially for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet, according to BBC Good Food.

One reason quinoa should be on the shopping list of anyone aiming to lose or maintain weight is its high protein content. The protein helps curb the production of hormones that stimulate hunger, making it easier to resist the temptation of snacking, reports the Daily Record.

The “Jennifer Aniston” quinoa salad

The quinoa salad that went viral is a vegetarian dish that includes:

  • Cooked quinoa
  • Chickpeas
  • Pistachios
  • Feta cheese
  • Fresh mint and parsley
  • A simple lemon vinaigrette

Research suggests that quinoa’s fibre content (around 2.8g per 100g when cooked) helps with weight management, digestion, and gut health. It’s also packed with vitamins A and B2, which are beneficial for the skin, eyes, and nervous system, potentially reducing fine lines and promoting a youthful glow.

Quinoa, rich in riboflavin, can help boost skin elasticity and is beneficial for those struggling with acne. Its low glycemic index means it doesn’t cause drastic blood sugar spikes, making it a safe choice for diabetics.

This superfood is a powerhouse of iron, helping in the battle against iron-deficiency anaemia. It’s also rich in antioxidants that support heart health and protect various organs.

Quinoa also contains a reasonable amount of omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart health. And, it offers a range of nutrients, including folate, manganese, thiamine, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium.

Though it may be a bit pricier than other grains, you can easily find it in the supermarket, among other grains and rice options. Asda offers a 300g pack of quinoa for £2.97, which works out to about 29p per 30g uncooked serving.
