THROUGH LOVE AND DEATH

Diane Keaton never wavered in her support for scandal-scarred Woody Allen

- 

Diane starred as the title character in Annie Hall opposite Woody, one of eight films they worked on together

ANNIE HALL star Diane Keaton went to her grave privately defending former costar and ex-lover Woody Allen against damning allegations he was a disgusting sex creep.

“Folks told Diane to just leave it alone, don’t stick your nose into this ugliness,” a friend says. “She took his denials at face value, and she didn’t give a damn about any blowback she would get.”

The Godfather actress, who died suddenly at age 79 on Oct. 11 after reports circulated she was privately struggling with her health, was notorious Allen’s partner on screen and off since the 1970s.
