Fans have also flooded the Internet with their favorite moments from Keaton’s oeuvre, including scenes in annie hall (1977), something’s Gotta Give (2003), and First Wives Club (1996).

Pointing to the actress’ penchant for layering her clothes, Streep says: “Diane Keaton, arguably the most self-covering person in the history of clothing, is also a transparent woman.
“There is no one who is more exposed, more vulnerable and willing to show herself inside and out than Dianne.”
