Hollywood legend Diane Keaton, best known for her iconic roles in Annie Hall and The Godfather, among others, has passed away at the age of 79. Her death has left everyone in grief and mourning.

Health struggles revealed by Diane Keaton
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times in 2015, Diane Keaton opened up about her cancer diagnosis at the age of 21. Reportedly, she shared that having skin cancer was in her family history. She stated, "It's a family history. I remember my Auntie Martha had skin cancer so bad that she had to remove her nose. My father had basal skin cancer, and my brother had it. It’s tricky with this skin cancer. That’s why you’ve got to put the sunblock on."
The actress mentioned that she didn’t do any research and just didn’t care. She said, "Back in my 20s, I didn’t pay attention much. I didn’t research and didn’t really care, and that was stupid because it’s dogged me my entire adult life, even recently. I didn’t start sun care until my 40s."

During The Dr Oz Show, Diane spoke about her struggle with bulimia, an eating disorder. She said, “My typical dinner was a bucket of chicken, several orders of fries with blue cheese and ketchup, a couple of TV dinners, a quart of soda, pounds of candy, a whole cake and three banana cream pies. All I did was feed my hunger, and I am an addict. It's true. I'm an addict in recovery. I'll always be an addict. I have an addictive nature.”
