I love her because she’s so honest with herself and us
She's an interesting and creative person (& caring sister).
She gives unconditional love. This is beautiful.
Diane is a beautiful person in so many ways .
She is a very unique person and she is one that you cannot put in a box and that's for sure write that down for the books.
Oh, wow! You know her personally?
I like how she accepts him and tries not to “fix” him. I think I’d like to read this book.
Me too
yep i noticed that too.When you do accept it's easier.
Happens. Happens. Happens. Happens. Very. Very. Very. Very. Nice. Nice. Goodness. Goodness. Great Thanks
Thanks for concluding it that way….I’m going to read it now too…

I just love Diane Keaton.. having lost both of my brothers, I wish her the most precious moments for the rest of her and her brothers lives. I miss my brothers so much. God Bless ❤️🙏
Bless you.
I'm very sorry for your loss. God Bless.
💔💔🤍🌼I am sorry for your loss.
So very sorry 😢
What a wonderful sister Diane is to her brother. They're a blessing to each other. The letter he wrote to her about her great performance in "Reds" was spot on and given his challenges, so very generous.
One of the classiest actress. I love Diane Keaton.
Thank you Diane for sharing your brothers story. My father and son both struggle from mental illness and people don't always understand. I try to be open about it in hopes it might help someone. You have the platform and you are using it for good...thank you!
Yeah its definitely hard to share that sort of info with people. I understand.
This is an amazing find, to see how close she is with her brother. She really developed a great heart through this.
THAT OUTFIT IS GIVING ME LIFE!!!!!!!!! GO Miss DIANE!!!!
My brother has schizophrenic disorder as well as another brother who has OCD and severe anxiety who has found success after going to boys town, it has been hard but I love my brothers and they always have my back, this was powerful for me and I’m glad that mental health is getting more of a light these days
When Diane cries, we all cry. Love you Diane 💙
There are a lot of people in this world that are like Randy. How lucky he is to have a family/ sister that have helped along the way of life.
Money helps. Most of us could never afford such treatment.
Diane Keaton, Linda Hamilton and Sally Field. No plastic surgeries, classy ladies and amazing actresses. National Treasures
She’s in a class by herself. One of the great pretenders. Her acting is amazing I truly enjoy all she’s in.
I hate what the poison does to the human being.,
No plastic surgeries because they are naturally beautiful. Honestly, stop being a dk. Most women are not born beautiful and men love to constantly comment on how we look. If you want to play your part, stop commenting on how women look and comparing us to each other.
They would still be wonderful actresses if they had plastic surgery as well.. The world isn't so black and white Dear.
@@SlimKeith11 I met Sally Field and yes, she had two face-lifts… It really does not matter, but I detest that people "claim" that certain celebrities have not had "work".. Marilyn Monroe is an example.. A "manufactured beauty"..
Linda Hamilton?
This made me cry. My brother's an unrepentant alcoholic too - it's hard not to become hateful and angry about it. Randy's very lucky to have a sister like Diane, what a loving and kind soul she is.
Tears! So many souls in the same realm!! I'm so touched by your totally unconditional love for him as your brother and as a person!
I’m wondering who is buying Diane Keaton”s brother the alcohol ? It doesn’t say that he has a job, so who is paying for the alcohol and contributing to his demise ?
@@lilybond6485 I don't think she said he was still drinking now. He drank as long as it was a choice he could control. It would be unconscionable for someone to give a dementia patient alcohol. I can only assume they did a medically supervised weaning off of the alcohol. It can be fatal to drink that much and suddenly stop.
@@dod2304 that is bullshit! You can come off poison at any time and get well. How can it be possible to do otherwise when you stop ingesting poison ☠️ and that’s what alcohol is in any amount. People have to question themselves every time they grab a glass or bottle containing any amount of alcohol. Stop the poison.
@@denisepaulsenful true ...very true.
I love her & how she is open yet private. She is like having a best friend that lives next door. I love how she has saved all of his letters & art she so loves him!💙
You are my hero Diane Keaton♥️ !!
In her autobiography she wrote she never got along with her baby sister, I guess she loved her brother more.
Mrs. Greene I hate to say I’ve not read it but it’s on my list to read. It’s crazy I was closer to one brother than the other not sure why & I feel bad because he brought it up once before he passed away. I wish I was a better sister to him not sure if being 8 yrs different was the problem. I think for me knowing my mother loved her boys.
@@dfagula I can understand that, it happens when there's more than two siblings, it didn't happen to me cause it was just me and my brother and we were close until he passed away.
Mrs. Greene I’m so sorry about your brother!
Ugh she’s everything 💕💕💕💕!!!!
Diane is a beautiful soul who has remained authentic and true to herself.
To those closest to her who have been a constant source of inspiration, strength and wisdom, have no doubt helped to mold and reveal her beauty that is more than skin deep.
Which are just some of the reasons why we love her so much as a person and an artist in her field. She will always be one of my most favorite actresses and insiteful people I would love to be in the company of whether it be on screen or in person.
Some of the most beautiful minds are the most tormented.
They are the thinkers ,..Love hard and care too much.
Agreed. I know that from personal experience
Alma Salazar yep. But i wouldn’t have myself any other way. Id rather be overfeeling than underfeeling
They are gifted, really... Just different, to the "normal"
Not something I talk about often, especially in public. I used to work in Hollywood as a make up artist. I was helping a friend on the set one day of a shoot that Diane Keaton was directing. During a break she sat down on the floor next to me she spoke to me as if we were old friends. She is so real, so kind, so good. One of my fondest Hollywood memories and I'm sure she doesn't even remember that short moment in time.
When my youngest brother was 18 he wanted to know what it was that was exactly wrong with our uncle - our mum's brother . My mum's never been able to be very open about him, but she explained that it was like Russell Crow's character in "A Beautiful Mind".
His schizophrenia and heroin addiction - which he overcame and I'm very proud of him for doing - was very hard on my mum and grandparents; my mum described the feeling of loving him and wanting to protect him , whilst also almost hating him at times.
I wish his life had been different. It makes me sad that he suffered so much in his 60 years. But I've come understand that there's only so much you can do. It must be so sad for Diane to see his alcoholism slowly killing him, but she seems to understand that it's probably the only way he can find a modicum of peace in such an un-quiet mind; because the illness has taken hold and it's never letting go, and somehow we have to be at peace with that.
So beautifully said 🙏
I have two siblings who are bipolar. It gets worse as they age and medication can only help so much. You just have to love them unconditionally. It’s not easy.
@@cynthiaann4465 God bless x
Have you ever heard of victims of psychiatry who are falsely diagnosed, and who are victims of Injustice, domestic violence, as well as religious and political persecution, but are NOT AT ALL MENTALLY ILL?
IT'S TORTURE AND SLOW ASSASSINATION, TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE MISDIAGNOSED VICTIM, AND HIS/HER LIFE...
Maybe the story of your brother is true as you think, but hundreds of thousands are not!
BE AWARE OF THE psychiatrists ABUSE AND PHARMACEUTIC LIES GOING ON, AND DON'T COLLABORATE AND DON'T ALLOW THAT HOOROR. HELP FIGHT AGAINST THAT NAZI, "WHICH HUNTING" NEW WAY OF INCARCERATING AND POLITICAL PERSECUTING SOMEONE. IT'S ALSO A FAVOURITE WAY OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE! DYSFUNCTIONAL EVIL NARCISSISTS GET RID OF THEIR BEST FAMILY MEMBER, a scape goat, by getting them destroyed like that.
Other times it's psychiatrists who "diagnose" of schizophrenic, people who simply have a political opinion they don't agree with. SIMPLY HORRIFIC.
I don't know about your brother, - although your story raises immediately some questions - but if you had the experience with someone who had real mental issues, you should be the first to want to accuse and be against the above explained serious ATROCIOUS violation of Human Rights and Civil Rights, who TORURE AND destroy mentally healthy people!!!
Please spread the word and the awareness. Thousands of the above described crimes are committed every day all over the world. I repeat: it is torture, and assassination for life (being tortured and slowly assassinated along all the decades the victim still lasts).
@@laylacooper1058 Read my comment to her please. Her story may be true. But I know many mentally healthy non addicted victims of psychiatric crimes. Please research the issue and raise the awareness. That is would be really beautiful: that you help stopping that which is the contemporary equivalent to the which hunting of the past.
I never knew this about her life. I have always admired her. It's very healthy for her to realize that there is NOTHING she can do, she is not responsible to save anyone, just cherish the time you have with those you love or care about.
I always loved Diane. I think she is so unique and so different from all the Hollywood celebrities,who all have a similar way of behaving and presenting themselves. She was never into that shallow, superficial, plastic persona of an actress. She alaways seems like a real, honest, sincere and down to earth human being, far away from fake star image and spot light.
She is extremely talented actress and a wonderful person. I love her originality and how she always stayed true to herself.
"It is sad to me, he had a difficult life". Painful words for anyone who truly loves someone suffering from severe mental illness.
Was it mental illness or alcoholism
@@MoonChild-po9du In my mind addiction, be it Alcohol or Drugs, mental illness is almost always at it's core.
@@MoonChild-po9du Kk
@@gerardquinn6637 depression is usually at its core
@@butterflymoon6368,
Depression IS a mental health issue or aka mental illness.
Diane is a wonderful sister, and so sweet to share her relationship with her brother all of us. Perhaps she is helping raise awareness for the need of tolerence for our family members and friends who struggle with mental stability. Mental illness is very real and is caused by a physical disability that has a varied spectrum. Loving and understanding by those who are blessed with greater stability is essential for the family's dignity. It's a hard journey that tests the family's values. Hopefully love and understanding will prevail like in Diane's family.
Dear Miss. Keaton, I am so happy you and your brother and your children have treasured time with your brother, (uncle) Randy. My son Parker walks through life with schizoaffective disorder and autism, and I fund him to be amazing, brillant, kind natured, and mischevious one great guy. Thank you for Love and understanding and compassion. Sincerey Parker"s mom
Diane is a wonderful person and Randy is so lucky 2 have her as his sister.
Moment 5:23 when something her brother wrote during the filming of 'Reds' hits Diane at her core...a very different interview than Keaton usually gives. And I LOVE it!!
"I should've been a better sister"
Is how i feel everyday. 😪 RIP BRO
Diane, you’re truly a BEAUTIFUL soul.🌸 God bless you, always.🌸
Mental illness is hard.... and real
He looks like an older Richard Chamberlain in that last picture. How fortunate to have a loving, non judgemental sister to love him unconditionally.
My brother was an alcoholic for about 50 years, his entire adult life. Listening to her describe her brother's life was paralleling my brother's journey. There was a brief moment of 6-8 months when he'd come out of the hospital and starting going to AA and it was a joyful time for those of us who cared about him to see him sober and happy. It was too short though and he fell back into the monster of drinking. In the end he was physically ill, being taken to the hospital over and over, alone in his house for weeks when he wouldn't answer the phone. It can be tough for those of us who don't have this addiction to really understand what an alcoholic is going through. Just stop, just stop, you're going to die if you don't stop means nothing to them. For many they can't stop until it kills them. Now my brother is in a small box on my lanai with the ocean, and the sun, and the trade winds to enjoy in peace.
Thank you Diane for speaking about mental illness. It is still such a Taboo subject.
Heart touching. So many of us are dealing with a family member who struggles. Non judgment helps all.
I never really understood what a drinking problem was, until I went away with someone on vacation who had a drinking problem. Then Bingo it hits you it's a problem because it's a problem for you. It's awful to have someone in your life who just drinks and wrecks precious moments and memories. You have to feel sorry for the family, I would not be able to live with that full time.
"wrecks precious moments and memories". TERRIFYING, I KNOW.
At one point one has to choose, and your own mental sanity and self preservation becomes the priority.
@@selmahare it is very hard...
Even worse when the alcoholic tells those closest to them that "yes, I drink, and YOU seem to have a problem with it" after ruining christmas yet again.
I absolutely love her and her sense of style and humor...
Very touched, as I sit here sobbing. Over many years, maybe 20 years, some people said that the stigma of mental illness is ‘finally’ lessening. It’s still being said but repeating something over & over does not make it so, as we all know.
The quiet and private people…I think their thoughts and feelings run very deep so it’s really something for Keaton to share this with us.
*the photo of her brother instantly made me think of Richard Chamberlain. Her brother is quite handsome.
Still such a huge amount of stigma
She is eternally youthful...such a funny vibrant young personality. Love Ms Keaton!
Love can make ANYONE beautiful. The magic elixir that can cause someone ready to let go of all the pain this life has to show and move through the veil, to stop, and think again of the little nuggets of sweetness that life has shown us through the years.
Love shows itself differently to different people. Some folks need to hear others say I love you. Some folks don't know how to say it. Some people give their lives every day to provide food and shelter because they love someone and their gift isn't even seen.
Just appreciate life and the people who share it with you. It's fragile.
Helen Patterson The book , The Five Love Languages covers this.
I never felt loved by my mother,,, her main love language was acts of service -if you asked her. She was a narcissist too, most likely.///////
I saw like a yin yang, here....
An over achiever/ underachiever.
But there was some sort of inability of Dianne to be completely egotistical which makes her so much more embraceable ,,, she almost is, or is, apologetic for her achievements. As though she steps outside of herself.
Her brother stepped all the way out.
Artistic temperaments?
Expressing differently.
There had to be some other pathology operating there.
I’d be interested in reading her book, though.
He is SO beautiful on the outside. I'm very sad that he was so tortured on the inside. Imagine how hard things are when dementia is a blessing.
Diane Keaton, has been and will always be a role model to me. Thank you for sharing yourself and your life with us!!
Diane is such a special human being. I was taken back by the photo of Randy. He reminded me of Richard Chamberlain.
Diane's love for her brother is really beautiful.
Her brother was very gifted.
I believe we choose our lessons each lifetime. This was the path he chose for lessons.
My feeling is they have had a very close relationship in past lives❤
I sister's unconditional love..amazing!
Diane Keaton is everything...the personality..her charisma...her humor...love her💕💗
Wow, such a sad story, and a contrast to Diane’s usually jolly persona. But, I’m glad to hear that they are doing well. Bless Diane and Randy!
Mrs Keaton is one of my favorite actresses of all times. She truly unique and I admire her for that.
There is no one quite like Diane Keaton. My husband and I love when we come across one of her romantic comedies on TV. SHE IS THE BEST!
This story deeply touched my heart and soul❤~Thank you for sharing the journey, Diane, that Randy and you have been on together in this uncertain lifetime!!
As a Sister whom has lost Siblings to both addiction and mental illness, truly do appreciate the heartfelt honesty in this story of navigating family, love, loss, heartache, and somehow still JOY in the end~BLESSings to you both🙏:)
Holly Fisher so sorry
Thank you beyond words, Mary, for your sweet compassion~It has been tough losing family members who are only in their young 30's💔~ yet there certainly is some PEACE in knowing both are
now completely healed and in a wonderful place, without all their struggles here on Earth🌠...
May God Richly Bless You and ALL Your Loved Ones in This Lifetime❣:)
My family did not mourn the death of my mentally ill relative. We mourned her life. It was at a time when people were placed in crowded, rat infested institutions where the mentally ill patients were mistreated. Now, we have medication. We need to talk about this more, even if it hurts to talk about it. Only then, will we see change for the better.
Yes, now they live out in the community with us and slowly poison the rest of their families. It’s a wonderful improvement. Oh, oh, and they live longer too, because of the great medications, which really only prolong the agony.
When in time are you speaking about?
@@manthony777 This was in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s. Unfortunately, I see many street people now who need mental health intervention.
@@malkaz9167 , I'm a child of the 50s. Perhaps, because I lived in NYC" I was aware of mental health facilities, inpatient and outpatient. I had a great aunt who lived in a state hospital.
@@pickles9440 also, with medication, some sort of "normality" is achieved and with it.....now we are allowing the mentally ill to breed. Ensuring that even more people will be beholden to meds.
Diane, my brothers and your brother are very much alike. My brother is a raging alcoholic and has mental illness. He also now has brain damage due to a freak accident and tries to use it as an excuse. It isn’t an accuse when he is smart enough to hide, sneak, manipulate, lie, steal, and do anything to get his next drink.
He is also the man in town neighbors whisper about. It’s sad. I feel your pain, along with your unconditional love for your brother. Love the addict, not the addiction.
Please take care of yourself. Prayers for you.
Your brother isn't "smart enough," he is living at a feral level. Compassion to you.
I am so sorry about you and your brother. I’m glad that after all you recounted, you still can love the addict. Best to you...
As hard as it is...these people canlive like this because somebody is paying their bills. Enablers. Sometimes the only good and right thing is to cut the addict off completely. For their and your good.
I too have such a brother. I can't even believe he is still alive. Al Anon family groups have supported me so greatly. If you haven't already, you might want to give them a try. Hang in there -- lots of love to you.
Everyone struggling with Substance Use Disorder should be so lucky as to have a family member like Ms. Keaton. What a wonderful human being.
Totally understand when Diane talks about becoming closer after the Dementia diagnosis. It's the same with my dad and me:(
my Mom and me. ♥
Thank you. Love Diane and her love of all. Sending love, light, peace, abundance and joy to all.
I’ve always loved Diane Keaton but didn’t know how much until I watched her speak about her brother. She apologized for crying, which tells me she really is a lovely person, inside and out.
Kathy agree, there is an incredible sweetness about her.
All those pictures and videos just show that life goes by fast and we should cherish our loved ones as much as we can!
Excellent, thank you for this important interview.
Diane Keaton, we love you ⚘
WONDERFUL interview. She is an icon and a remarkable insight into her sibling relationship.
I don't struggle, I struggle with others not knowing they have mental illnesses! I have my own safe way to be mentally sane.
What do you mean? Hard to understand your way of speaking.
Her work on “Reds” is unbelievable, some of the best acting I’ve ever seen, if not the very best. Do yourself a favor and watch this one, if you haven’t yet.
I love her! I've watched something's gotta give a lot! My fav! Also I have a son with mental illness it's so hard . He's done better but battles depression daily.
cindy127 we have that in our family as well. It’s tough.
It IS tough Cindy, no doubt. Keep going ❤
Diane’s Dad, Jack Hall, was an absolutely wonderful Civil Engineer! My husband worked at his company and really enjoyed his experience there.
What a nice interview - and her brother's writing is quite beautiful.
I like her a bunch, and i appreciate her speaking openly about her eating disorder history. It helped me with mine.
Diane looked aftet her mother and her brother. One of the most generous bosses and loving and generous on sets.my friend and my son told me.
But my favorite actress forever and a fashion icon.i grew up in orange co.
In the 50s and 60s .my husband said we had the life that minnesota kids dreamed of .Always at the beach.i love her .
This made me cry coz I am just like her brother and worst is that I am alone in this battle.
Loved this interview! 🌼❤️
Dang it...Diane Keaton is such beautiful lady in more ways than one. I just developed a little crush on her I think.
how wonderful you are Ms. Keaton to open up about this...
No one can take away that love you feel in your core for your sibling. Not even them.
She really loves him. ❤. He is so lucky to have a sister like her and she is a great person for lovin him like that
Diane thanks for sharing it helped. IAM retired and use to work with dementia they were my loves! So darling!
I m glad your sharing your family mental health. Thank you
Diane Keaton - what an interesting woman (and interesting life she's had.)
May we all be so fortunate to have someone to have someone love us as much as she loves him.
I love her style!
I just Love Diane! She is one of the Greats! Nothing negative can be said about her. Just look at all the glowing comments from everyone here! I hope she knows just how much her fans adore her.
Just Love Her!!! So real & going thru the dementia of her Brother Randy & looking for the positives.
She is and was always such a beautiful soul. I always loved her movies.
I'm 32 and I think she's still gorgeous.
Diane Keaton is one of those great people that touched our hearts and thoughts as she is such a beautiful person inside and out .
They call them mentally ill....but they are really sensitive souls with questions demanding answers. They feel the weight of the world on their shoulders....never content to just live life as "normal"....but always wanting everything to be alright with, not only themselves, but the world. This made me so sad for Diane, because I know how it feels to deal with this.
God bless you, Diane! He matters so much!!!! And yes, he is so beautiful.
Diane is a class act ... she is right every family has someone that struggles with addiction , mental illness and its very hard to help our love ones !!❤
Wow this was emotional. It made me cry
The pic she took IS beautiful: he is looking back, in his broken body, at unconditional love.
I have a younger sister and we are both in our 40s now. it's wonderful to have a sibling when you can remember the past but be present and look forward to the future
INSIGHTFUL ❤ Beautiful and Heartfelt, far more than meets the eye,
moments paid to cards past dealt, can make the heart to cry.
Yet honor paid to times well seen, is sanction to the mind;
with beauty near to softly lean, across what memories find.
How I'dlove to give her a big big hug! I adore Diane Keaton!
I had to look up her age: she's 74! What the hell, she sounds like she's in her 40s, at best
@@mrs.847 Keaton has famously NEVER had plastic surgery, she wants to "go out authentic".
@@mrs.847 Poor, bitter you.
@@SheilaR.08 I guess it's all in what you wanna believe. There's no proof she had surgery and no proof she didn't.
No plastic surgery either x
Maybe no plastic surgery, but injectables seems to be something that she’s had since she has so much volume and lack of wrinkles for her age.
Like Diane's brother, my sister was mentally ill and was diagnosed with stage 4 bc. She never went to the doctor and when she finally did this is what she was diagnosed with. She lived for a year and a half after the diagnosis. She was always a positive soul and I loved her very much and miss her always. I totally understand the feelings that Diane has because I too have them. I lost my sister on Valentine's Day 2012. She was a hippie love child and somehow picked her last day to prove it.
Diane also has two other sisters (that I remember anyway) Robin & Dory. I went to school with them (Santa Ana High School) and when I was pledging for a sorority there, I was taken to their house to clean their bedroom. When I realized I was in Diane's old bedroom as I looked around, I was in awe because to me, she was already "famous" and that is a cherished memory from my youth. 💜
Diane: You are and were the best sister Randy could ever have. I think your wishing you could have been "a better sister" translates (for me ) to, "I wish I could have stopped Randy's drinking. That never was and never will happen -- and it would not matter how much you wanted it not to be so. I am powerless over other people and the decisions that they make in their lives. I am in sober recovery for decades and my sister brought me into recovery, picked up again and is gone. Gone. Decades. Gone. I keep her in prayer but just like you -- I have a life and I have made a life understanding that my sister's life choices were her own and I have to respect her decisions while taking care of myself. And by the way, she never once asked me for my opinion about how she lived her life and it was never my job to offer one or try to "fix" her. Blessings ✨🧡✨
My brother has schizophrenia and know how devastating it was and is for him and the people who know him
I feel you, my sister has schizophrenia, too. Our mom passed away 7 years ago, and it has, been quite a journey for us.
Wonderful interview. Sensitively done.
Love her and I am so sorry about her brother~~🥰
I was leaving Gladstone’s Restaurant (the corner of Sunset Blvd and PCH) one night and as I walked past the hostess stand, my eyes locked with Diane Keaton’s - ( my brain said be cool, be cool and I smiled and kept walking)She was wearing this black flat hat (like in the interview) and a black coat with a big wide black belt and a full skirt. She looked like a star…she was my only celebrity encounter in 6 years living in SoCal
LoVeLy tribute for her, but also from her to her brother.
For me personally
Baby Boom movie was my first introduction to her finest n most pure acting
Diane Keaton such extraordinary human being ❤❤❤
He’s a very lucky brother.
I agree. She seems very maternal, protective, and nurturing.
. . . Yes , he is . Many , including myself have a sibling who just never call - no specific reason ... just do not make contact. I stopped being the one who made that call - a few of times a year
asking ... "How are you?"..."I'm fine"...
I cannot bide any form of pretence .
I've always loved her. It's just something about her
I've always liked. For a Hollywood celebrity she seems really down to earth.
