Diane Keaton, who rose to fame for her iconic roles in beloved films such as *Annie Hall,* *The First Wives Club, *and many more, has died. She was 79.

The legendary actress died in California, PEOPLE reported on Saturday. Further details are not available at this time, and the outlet reported that a family spokesperson expressed her loved ones' desire for privacy at this time.

Keaton, born Diane Hall in 1946, made her movie debut in 1970's *Lovers and Other Strangers, *but her big break came when Francis Ford Coppola cast her as Kay Adams, the girlfriend of Al Pacino's Michael Corleone, in 1972's *The Godfather.*

The film was a massive success, winning Best Picture at the Oscars and going on to become a cultural phenomenon. Keaton reprised her role in 1974's *The Godfather Part II*, which was also a triumph and won Best Picture. She returned for 1990's *The Godfather Part III*, the final film of the trilogy.

However, Keaton is perhaps most known for her collaborations with director Woody Allen, appearing in the 1972 film version of *Play It Again, Sam*, 1973's *Sleeper* and 1975's* Love and Death*.**

In 1977, Keaton starred in Allen's *Annie Hall* as the title character, a character who cemented the actress's place as a style icon with a wardrobe that mimicked Keaton's own, full of menswear, vests, and structured trousers.
