Our Dear Diane

What is there to say when we lose an icon? A legend? An unquestionable force of nature? Something about the fabulous Ms. Keaton felt eternal — her giggle, her strength, her knowing smile, her vulnerability, her comic timing… and of course her fashion.

Timeless

There are almost too many hits in the Diane Keaton collection — how can we choose between her power strut in that Leslie Gore number in First Wives Club? her lobster chase or post-tennis repartee in Annie Hall? her undeniable chemistry with her costars (somehow both Jack and Keanu in Something’s Gotta Give)? We could go on (have you seen The Godfather? Reds? Father of the Bride? Marvin’s Room? This woman had range!)… but instead we’ll leave you with this. The soft, the sweet, the connected Ms. Keaton. It’s certainly still a thrill. God we’ll miss her.

What a Week

Strange things are happening.. and it’s not just because it’s spooky season.

Now playing on a continuous loop until November 1st

L.A. had a rare thunderstorm this week, Kim Kardashian West hosted SNL, Diana the Musical exists (with a sassy gay AIDS patient and all), William Shatner is actually going to space, and Netflix’s Korean Hunger Games on steroids Squid Game is the most watched show of all time. It’s a lot to process for the Chair… and perhaps its time to sit back and give it a week to sink in. Did we also mention that Matthew McConaughey had to announce that he wasn’t running for Governor of Texas?

Nothing to see here

The Chair will be back next week to unpack the equally topsy turvy week we are sure to have. It can’t possibly get stranger right?

… or maybe I spoke too soon?
