“She Said Goodbye Before Anyone Knew She Was Leaving…” — The Haunting Secret Diane Keaton Left Behind Weeks Before Her Death Sends Hollywood Into Shock — A Hidden Farewell Letter, Locked Away in an Ivory Envelope, Reveals the Chilling Premonition No One Saw Coming! It began quietly — canceled interviews, unanswered calls, and long, lonely afternoons spent sketching birds in her garden. But weeks before her sudden passing, Diane Keaton left behind a mysterious four-page handwritten letter, sealed in ivory paper and marked only: “To be opened when I’m go,ne.” When her family finally opened it, they were left speechless. One insider described the note as “beautiful… and absolutely chilling,” revealing words that seemed to predict her own death. Hollywood is still reeling — wondering how one of cinema’s brightest souls seemed to know her curtain was about to fall. Was it fate, faith, or something far more mysterious?
Graham, 58, took to Instagram on Monday, October 13, to share a snippet of a letter Keaton sent her in the years before her passing.
“Please don’t be a stranger. Please invite me to one of your dinners. And finally …. Please hug yourself in the morning, and remember to write your book, and don’t let yourself get anxious, you big winner you. Love, Di,” the letter read in part.
In the caption of the post, Graham reflected on her meaningful friendship with Keaton over the years, as well as the late actress’ massive influence.
“A few lines from a letter Diane Keaton wrote me years ago, when writing a book was just a dream of mine,” Graham captioned the post. “Her work as an actor was an inspiration to me. Her encouragement changed my life.” (Graham is an author many times over, publishing numerous books including 2022’s Have I Told You This Already?)
Keaton and Graham portrayed mom Daphne Wilder and daughter Maggie, respectively, in 2007’s Because I Said So alongside Mandy Moore, Gabriel Macht, Tom Everett Scott, Piper Perabo, Stephen Collins, Colin Ferguson and Tony Hale.
In the comments section of Graham’s post, fans shared their condolences and memories of Keaton.
“This is such a beautiful memory to have 
,” one person wrote, while another said, “It’s the people we meet along the way who help to shape our destiny 
.”
“How lucky you are to have this piece of her to treasure for eternity!” a third person wrote, while a fourth person said, “What a precious friend to have. Seems like she was an encourager to all.”
Keaton’s death was confirmed on Saturday, October 11, at age 79. A cause of death was not immediately announced, however, a friend of the star subsequently told People that Keaton’s health “declined very suddenly, which was heartbreaking for everyone who loved her.”
“In her final months, she was surrounded only by her closest family, who chose to keep things very private,” the friend told the outlet. “Even longtime friends weren’t fully aware of what was happening.”
Following the news of Keaton’s death, Because I Said So’s Moore, 41, also shared a tribute for her onscreen mother via Instagram.

“They say don’t meet your heros but I got to work with one of mine and even call her ‘mom’ for a few months. An honor of a lifetime,” Moore captioned two photos with Keaton via Instagram on Saturday. “What an incandescent human Di is and was. I am so sad she’s gone for all the reasons but also because it felt like she’d be here forever, dazzling us with her talent and charm (and her style, c’mon)!!! One of the very best to ever do it. All my love to her children and loved ones.”
Other stars who got to call Keaton “Mom” onscreen also shared tributes, including Emma Roberts. Roberts, 34, played Keaton’s daughter in 2023’s Maybe I Do.
“The absolute greatest,” Roberts wrote via her Instagram Stories along with a photo of Keaton. “So lucky to have worked with her love you Diane.”
