In addition to her status as a cinema legend, Diane was instantly recognizable as a fashion icon thanks to her signature style of androgynous attire—and she never got tired of her trademark aesthetic.
“I still love a turtleneck, a hat and a jacket,” she told Women’s Wear Daily in August 2024. “I think I focus more on wearing suits daily than ever before.”
But at the root of Diane’s success was her incomparable onscreen talent. Later in her career, she earned further critical praise for her performances in big-screen favorites like Father of the Bride, Something’s Gotta Give and The Family Stone.
In her final years, Diane continued to work steadily, having last appeared in the 2024 comedy Summer Camp alongside Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard and Eugene Levy. In fact, she insisted on keeping active, both personally and professionally.
“I never understood the idea that you’re supposed to mellow as you get older,” she told AARP in 2012. “Slowing down isn’t something I relate to at all. The goal is to continue in good and bad, all of it.”
