“We agreed to grow old together, and one day, maybe live together with all our girlfriends.

Well, we never got to live together, but we did grow older together. Who knows… maybe in the next life. Shine your fairy dust up there, girlfriend.” Goldie Hawn on Diane Keaton death. When news broke of Diane Keaton’s passing, Hollywood seemed to pause — as if one of its brightest, most singular lights had quietly dimmed. Among those most deeply shaken was Goldie Hawn, her dear friend and co-star from The First Wives Club. Hawn’s tribute was not just a farewell; it was a love letter — tender, poetic, and filled with the kind of raw emotion that only years of laughter, shared mornings, and mutual understanding can create.

“Diane, we aren’t ready to lose you,” Hawn wrote, her words trembling with affection. “You’ve left us with a trail of fairy dust, filled with particles of light and memories beyond imagination.” It was a fitting description for Keaton — a woman who seemed to live in her own glowing orbit, equal parts grace and eccentric charm. Hawn continued, recalling how Diane never liked praise — “so humble,” she said, “but now you can’t tell me to ‘shut up,’ honey.” That mix of humor and heart was exactly how their friendship had always sounded — two free spirits teasing each other through time. Their bond had been born in 1996, on the set of The First Wives Club.

Along with Bette Midler, they created one of the most iconic trios in film history — fierce, funny, and deeply human. But behind the cameras, their connection ran deeper. Hawn reminisced about those mornings on set, when they would gather in the makeup trailer with coffee, sharing jokes, confessions, and bursts of laughter that often delayed the start of filming. “It was a roller coaster of love,” she said — not always perfect, but always real.
