Diane Keaton to get special tribute in theatres after death

Diane Keaton, AMC Theatres is honouring the late star with a special tribute, bringing two of her most beloved films, Annie Hall and Something’s Gotta Give, back to the big screen. 

Variety confirmed that both movies will play in 100 theaters across the U.S. for one week, starting Friday.

The tribute follows Keaton’s passing on Oct. 11 in Los Angeles. The Oscar-winning actress was 79 and had been rushed from her home to the hospital before her death.

Annie Hall, the 1977 romantic comedy that defined a generation, earned Keaton her first Academy Award and solidified her as one of Hollywood’s most distinctive talents. 

Starring alongside longtime collaborator Woody Allen, Keaton portrayed the free-spirited Annie Hall in the film’s introspective look at love, memory, and heartbreak.

The performance remains one of the most celebrated in cinema history.

More than two decades later, Keaton delivered another career highlight in Nancy Meyers’ 2003 hit Something’s Gotta Give, which brought her a fourth Oscar nomination for Best Actress. 

The romantic comedy, co-starring Jack Nicholson, followed the unexpected love story between an older bachelor and his younger girlfriend’s mother, played with Keaton’s signature charm and warmth. 

The movie became a global success, earning $265 million worldwide on an $80 million budget.

Throughout her career, Keaton earned four Oscar nominations, winning for Annie Hall and being recognized again for her performances in Reds (1982), Marvin’s Room (1997), and Something’s Gotta Give (2003). 

She also left her mark on iconic films such as The Godfather, Father of the Bride, and Baby Boom.

Following the news of her death, heartfelt tributes from Hollywood poured in.

Woody Allen, her co-star and collaborator, wrote in an essay for The Free Press, “It’s grammatically incorrect to say ‘most unique,’ but all rules of grammar, and I guess anything else, are suspended when talking about Diane Keaton. Unlike anyone the planet has experienced or is unlikely to ever see again, her face and laugh illuminated any space she entered.”

The upcoming week-long theatrical release gives fans a chance to revisit Keaton’s timeless performances, a fitting celebration of an actress whose talent, individuality, and spirit continue to shine long after her passing.
