"When I met Keaton for an interview in 2014, she was sporting her trademark look: a bowler hat, tinted glasses and oversized clothes. "Clothing that actually hides the body," she half-joked. "There's a lot to hide in my case, so I'm the only remaining person on Earth with this particular look." Keaton was really something of a fashionista, inspiring generations of women with her unconventional lifestyle. Onscreen, she was known for playing endearing, unique and sometimes eccentric characters."
"She was also upfront about some of her insecurities; she fretted about aging, her hair thinning, her eyes drooping. But Keaton told me that later in life, she had finally come to accept that all flaws are beautiful. "I feel that wrong can be right. It can be right in a lot of ways," she said. "So all those things that you're disappointed with in yourself can work for you.""
