Diane Keaton
Star of Annie Hall and The Godfather.
La-Di-Da!
She was great value in a couple of Woody Allen comedies in the 70s, Sleeper and Love and Death. Happy memories as a kid laughing that those flicks.
RIP.
Underrated as an actress I feel. She was very good in the Godfather films and her acting in the courtroom scene in Godfather 2 was brilliant and without saying a word.
