Bette Midler talks about Diane Keaton and what she will never forget
Bette Midler reflects on the loss of her friend and former co-star Diane Keaton.
The couple, who starred alongside Goldie Hawn in the film “The First Wives Club,” shared a genuine bond, Midler said.
“I met her a long, long time ago. A girlfriend introduced me to her. I’ve always adored her,” Midler told Andy Cohen during a Thursday episode of “Watch What Happens Live.”
“She was so unique, so special, so completely who she was,” he continued, describing her as “inimitable.”
“I used to go home and try to do that look that she had,” Midler confessed.

Midler described Keaton’s fashion sense as “dizzying” and added that “no one came close” to recreating it. She also said her friend had an “extraordinary personality.”
She continued by reminiscing about her time filming “The First Wives Club” with Keaton and Hawn, who Midler said made her “cry with laughter.”
“We had a lot on that show,” he said. “I think it was the most fun I’ve ever had.”
In a statement released Thursday, Keaton’s family revealed that the actor had died of pneumonia.
“The Keaton family is so 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,” the statement read.
