The passing of a Hollywood legend has left a profound impact on her peers and fans alike. Bette Midler's heartfelt tribute to her friend Diane Keaton is a testament to a remarkable life.
Midler, a renowned actress herself, appeared on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' to reminisce about the iconic Diane Keaton, who passed away at 79. She described Keaton as 'inimitable,' a word that perfectly encapsulates the unique essence of this beloved star. But here's where it gets intriguing: Midler believes no one could imitate Keaton because she was so authentically herself.
On the set of the 1996 comedy 'First Wives Club,' Midler felt intimidated by Keaton's and co-star Goldie Hawn's extensive film experience. Yet, she was captivated by their storytelling, saying, 'I never laughed so hard in my life.'
Keaton's talent extended beyond acting. Midler admired her signature style, writing, and photography, calling her Instagram feed 'brilliant.' Keaton's books, which Midler describes as 'very moving,' offer a glimpse into her family life.
A true original, Keaton's absence leaves an irreplaceable void. Midler's Instagram tribute captures this, saying, 'She was hilarious, a complete original, and completely without guile.' And this is the part most people miss—Keaton's humility despite her stardom.
Goldie Hawn's Instagram tribute echoes this sentiment, highlighting Keaton's humility and the profound impact she had on the world. But was Keaton truly without any competitiveness? The question lingers, inviting fans to reflect on the complexities of a beloved star's personality.
The 'First Wives Club' will forever be a testament to Keaton's comedic genius, leaving audiences with laughter and tears, and a lasting impression of her inimitable talent.
