Team Something's Gotta Give's tribute to Diane Keaton

Recently, Keanu Reeves paid a heartfelt tribute to the late actress with whom he worked in Something's Gotta Give. The actor told The Hollywood Reporter, “I had the wonderful opportunity to work with her, and she was a very special artist and person. Very unique and just what a wonderful artist.”

Nancy Meyers helmed the film and it was released in 2003. Paying tribute to Keaton, Meyers wrote a heartfelt note on social media. She started her post with, “As a movie lover, I’m with you all — we have lost a giant. A brilliant actress who time and again laid herself bare to tell our stories. As a woman, I lost a friend of almost 40 years — at times over those years, she felt like a sister because we shared so many truly memorable experiences. As a filmmaker, I’ve lost a connection with an actress that one can only dream of.”She continued, “When I needed her to cry in scene after scene in Something’s Gotta Give, 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.”“She was fearless, she was like nobody ever, she was born to be a movie star, her laugh could make your day, and for me, knowing her and working with her — changed my life. Thank you, Di. I’ll miss you forever," added Meyers.
