Woody Allen has spoken publicly for the first time following the death of his longtime muse and former partner, Diane Keaton, who sadly died on Saturday at the age of 79.
The 89-year-old director, who met Keaton in the late 1960s before their romance turned into a lifelong friendship, wrote an emotional tribute in The Free Press on Sunday.
“It’s grammatically incorrect to say ‘most unique,’ but all rules of grammar and I suppose everything else are suspended when talking about Diane Keaton,” Allen wrote. “Unlike anyone the planet has experienced or is unlikely to ever see again, her face and laugh illuminated any space she entered.”
Allen and Keaton’s connection began in 1969 when she auditioned for his Broadway play Play It Again, Sam. She landed the part, earning a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress and marking the start of a creative partnership that would define both of their careers.
