Diane Keaton’s daughter debuts tattoo in honor of late actor on her 80th birthday



Diane Keaton was honored by her children on what would have been her 80th birthday.

Nearly three months after the beloved actor’s death, her daughter, Dexter Keaton, 30, revealed that the siblings got tattoos dedicated to their late mom.

Dexter’s Instagram post shared Monday featured a picture of her and Duke, 26, showing off their new ink on their arms.

Dexter’s tattoo says, “La Di Da,” a line from Diane’s 1977 movie “Annie Hall.” Dexter’s tattoo says, “Weird Old World,” another reference to the same film.

The post also featured a photo of Diane and Dexter wrapping their arms around each other while looking at a body of water from a cliff.

“I miss you, mom 💔🕊️,” Dexter wrote in her caption.

She also thanked Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Winter Stone “for my forever reminder of my wonderful mom.”

Diane’s close pal, Sarah Paulson, got her own tattoo from the same artist dedicated to the late actress on Diane’s birthday. The tattoo says “DK” — Diane’s initials — and is on Paulson’s wrist.

“You would have been 80 today,” Paulson, 51, wrote on Instagram. “Too many deep feelings to put here… I was the luckiest person in the world to have traveled, laughed so hard we cried, watched a million and one movies, really cried, and eaten French fries with you. You. You. Wondrous, singular, YOU. I will miss you till the end of time.”

Paulson also mentioned Stone, writing, “Thank you @winterstone for my forever reminder, of one of my forever people.”

Diane died of pneumonia on Oct. 11. She was 79.

“The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support they have received these past few days on behalf of their beloved Diane, who passed away from pneumonia on October 11,” read a statement from Diane’s family.

The Oscar winner, who was never married, adopted her two children in her 50s and raised them as a single mom.

She once told Ladies Home Journal that “motherhood was not an urge I couldn’t resist.”

“It was more like a thought I’d been thinking for a very long time,” Diane shared. “So I plunged in.”

Both Dexter and Duke have stayed out of the spotlight over the years, though they did publicly support their mother at her Hand & Footprint Ceremony in 2022.

At the event, Diane was asked what it meant to have her kids there, and she replied: “Everything. I love them.”

In 2007, the “Father of the Bride” actress told People of her children, “They have no interest in what I do, which I think is very healthy. We live a relatively normal — well, sort of normal — life.”
