Diane Keaton’s legacy lives on.
Following The Family Stone actress’ death at the age of 79 on Oct. 11, there have been an outpouring of tributes for the Oscar winner, one of which was included in the episode of Saturday Night Live that aired the same day.
At the close of the episode, after host Amy Poehler said her goodnights and the credits rolled, a tribute card came on screen featuring a black and white photo of Diane alongside her name. In the photo, a younger Diane—dressed in her signature collared shirt and tie—looks cheekily off to the side, a crooked smile across her face.
Current SNL cast member Ashley Padilla, who once worked as Diane’s assistant prior to her time on the series, took to social media to remember their time together.
“Diane and I always made compilation videos of photos for her (absolutely iconic) Instagram,” she captioned an Oct. 12 picture montage, featuring photos of Diane throughout her life. “Usually anything she enjoyed at the time; houses, eyeballs, shoes, MEN, etc. We would sit on Pinterest for hours looking up great shots and then we would pick the perfect song to match whatever the theme was.”
