Keaton's performance in "Something's Gotta Give" earned her an Oscar nomination, and she went on to reunite with Reeves as presenters at the 2020 Academy Awards. This collaboration between two legendary actors is a testament to the enduring power of their craft and the bonds formed on set.
And this is the part most people miss...
The filmmaker behind "Something's Gotta Give," Nancy Meyers, also shared a heartfelt tribute to Keaton. In her Instagram post, Meyers described Keaton as a "giant" in the industry, a "brilliant actress" who fearlessly laid herself bare to tell our stories.
Meyers recalled Keaton's unique approach to emotional scenes, where she would spin in a goofy circle before a take, purposefully getting herself off-balance to shed any distractions and fully immerse herself in the moment.
"She was fearless, like nobody ever," Meyers wrote. "Her laugh could make your day, and knowing her and working with her changed my life."
In honor of Keaton's legacy, AMC Theatres is bringing back her iconic films, "Annie Hall" and "Something's Gotta Give," to 100 cinemas across the U.S.
