Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton weren’t just first wives together—they were also lifelong friends.
After Diane passed away on October 11th at 79 years old, Goldie Hawn posted a heartfelt message about her former *First Wives Club* co-star, admitting she wasn’t prepared for the loss.
Goldie Hawn shared in an Instagram post that she and Kurt Russell had playfully agreed to grow old together, and jokingly hoped to one day live with all their girlfriends.

Goldie Hawn fondly recalled how Diane Keaton captivated audiences, and reminisced about their time together on the set of *First Wives Club*. She described their days as filled with laughter and coffee in the makeup trailer, calling the entire experience a joyful and loving one.
And with countless roles in beloved movies, Diane’s legacy is one Goldie, 79, knows will live on.
She continued, “You’ve left such a beautiful, magical impression on us, full of bright memories. It’s so hard to say goodbye – there are no words to express how heartbroken we are. You always shied away from compliments, always so modest, but now… now I wish you’d tell me to ‘shut up’ just one more time, honey.”
As the 79-year-old put it, “There was, and will be, no one like you.”
Oh my gosh, when I heard about Diane, my heart just broke! And it wasn’t just me—Goldie Hawn was totally devastated too, and so was Bette Midler! Bette said Diane was absolutely brilliant, beautiful, and just…extraordinary. It’s just so sad, and we’re all still waiting to find out what happened. She was such a light, and I’m going to miss her so much. It feels like losing a piece of the First Wives Club family!
Bette shared on Instagram how deeply saddened she was by the loss. She described the star as incredibly funny, unique, and genuinely kind, without any of the typical rivalry you might expect from someone so famous. She emphasized that what people saw was truly the person she was, adding a wistful, ‘Oh, la, lala!’
Leonardo DiCaprio also paid tribute to Diane, remembering their early work together on the film *Marvin’s Room*.
