"not only with dialogue (which she said word for word as written but managed to always make it sound improvised) but she could be funny sitting at a dinner table or just walking into a room."
"She went at it hard and then somehow made it funny. And I remember she would sometimes spin in a kind of goofy circle before a take to purposely get herself off balance or whatever she needed to shed so she could be in the moment."
"To hear her laughter before anything, before even meeting her, was just such a great omen. It was an auspicious beginning to a great relationship."
Diane Keaton died on Oct. 11 at age 79. Friends, collaborators, and former co-stars paid tribute and shared memories. Filmmaker Nancy Meyers described Keaton as like a sister and praised her ability to be both vulnerable and hilarious. Colleagues noted Keaton’s knack for delivering scripted dialogue as if improvised and her use of physical rituals, like spinning before a take, to access emotion. Meyers recalled Keaton’s cathartic sobs that blended pain and comedy. Cast members from Father of the Bride remembered Keaton’s distinctive laughter as an auspicious start to lasting relationships.
