Emergency dispatch audio reveals actress’s final moments
The 911 dispatch audio obtained by TMZ painted a heartbreaking picture of Keaton’s final hours.
“Rescue 19, person down,” the dispatcher announced in the early morning hours of Saturday, October 11th.
The Los Angeles Fire Department transported the legendary actress to a local hospital, but it was too late.
Keaton’s family confirmed to People magazine that the 79-year-old actress had passed away after what friends described as a rapid health decline.
“She declined very suddenly, which was heartbreaking for everyone who loved her,” a close friend told the outlet. “It was so unexpected, especially for someone with such strength and spirit.”
The friend revealed that Keaton’s inner circle had kept her condition private in her final months.
“In her final months, she was surrounded only by her closest family, who chose to keep things very private,” the friend explained. “Even longtime friends weren’t fully aware of what was happening.”
Close friends noticed dramatic weight loss in final weeks
Grammy and Oscar-winning songwriter Carole Bayer Sager, who co-wrote Keaton’s single “First Christmas,” shared details about her last visit with the actress just weeks before her death.
“I saw her two or three weeks ago, and she was very thin,” Sager told People magazine. “She had lost so much weight.”
Sager explained that Keaton had been dealing with damage to her home from the Los Angeles wildfires.
“She had to go to Palm Springs because her house had been damaged inside [from the L.A. wildfires], and they had to clean everything,” Sager continued. “She was down there for a while, and when she came back, I was kind of stunned by how much weight she’d lost.”
Despite her declining health, Sager remembered Keaton’s spirit remaining intact.
“She was a magic light for everyone,” Sager said. “I just loved her. She was so special, she just lit up a room with her energy. She was happy and upbeat and taking photographs of everything she saw. She was completely creative; she never stopped creating.”
Another friend emphasized that Keaton maintained her trademark humor even in her final days.
“She was funny right up until the end,” the friend told People. “She lived exactly how she wanted to, which was on her own terms, surrounded by the people and things she really loved.”
Hollywood legends pay tribute to an irreplaceable star
The outpouring of love from Keaton’s former co-stars and fellow celebrities showed just how deeply she touched the entertainment industry.
Steve Martin, who played Keaton’s on-screen husband in “Father of the Bride” and its sequel, shared a perfect example of her quick wit by posting a screenshot from a 2021 interview.
When Martin Short asked, “Who’s sexier? Me or Steve Martin?” Keaton’s response was classic: “I mean, you’re both idiots.”
“Don’t know who first posted this, but it sums up our delightful relationship with Diane,” Martin wrote.
Kimberly Williams-Paisley, who played their daughter in the “Father of the Bride” films, commented, “I can absolutely hear her saying that.”
Williams-Paisley also shared her own tribute: “Diane, working with you will always be one of the highlights of my life. You are one of a kind, and it was thrilling to be in your orbit for a time.”
First Wives Club co-star remembers beloved friend
Bette Midler, who starred alongside Keaton in the 1996 hit “The First Wives Club,” honored her co-star with a heartfelt tribute.
“The brilliant, beautiful, extraordinary Diane Keaton has died,” Midler wrote. “I cannot tell you how unbearably sad this makes me.”
Midler praised Keaton’s authentic character.
“She was hilarious, a complete original, and completely without guile, or any of the competitiveness one would have expected from such a star,” Midler added. “What you saw was who she was.”
Look, Diane Keaton represented something special in Hollywood – an era when stars had genuine personality and weren’t manufactured by committees.
For folks who grew up watching her movies, she felt like family.
From “Annie Hall” to “Father of the Bride,” Keaton had this gift for making audiences feel like they were watching a real person, not just an actress playing a part.
Her quick wit and natural charm came through in every performance, which is why these tributes from her co-stars ring so true.
The fact that even her longtime friends didn’t know how sick she was shows you the kind of person Keaton was – private, dignified, and determined to live life on her own terms right until the end.
Hollywood has lost more than just a talented actress.
They’ve lost someone who reminded everyone why they fell in love with movies in the first place.
