Woody Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, enjoyed a rare night out following the death of friend Diane Keaton.
Allen, 89, and Previn, 55, attended the opening night for the revival of Ragtime on Broadway in New York City on Thursday, October 16. The couple posed for photos while sitting in the audience at The Vivian Beaumont Theatre at Lincoln Center.
The musical was also attended by several other stars, including Rachel Zegler, Anna Wintour, Hillary Clinton, Ben Platt and Noah Galvin.
Allen and Previn’s outing comes nearly one week after Keaton’s family confirmed her death on Saturday, October 11. While no further details were given at the time, the family later confirmed to People that the Oscar winner died after suffering from pneumonia. She was 79.
In the wake of her death, many of Keaton’s friends and former costars paid tribute in honor of her memory. Allen, who worked with Keaton multiple times throughout his career, honored his longtime friend with a touching essay published via The Free Press.
Inside Diane Keaton's Friendship With Woody Allen: ‘Annie Hall’ and More
“It’s grammatically incorrect to say ‘most unique,’ but all rules of grammar, and I guess anything else, are suspended when talking about Diane Keaton,” the filmmaker wrote. “Unlike anyone the planet has experienced or is unlikely to ever see again, her face and laugh illuminated any space she entered.”
Allen recalled meeting Keaton while filming 1969’s Play It Again, Sam. While they were both “shy” at first, they formed a friendship after sharing lunch during rehearsal time.
“That was our first moment of personal contact,” he continued. “The upshot is that she was so charming, so beautiful, so magical, that I questioned my sanity. I thought: ‘Could I be in love so quickly?’

Allen starred as Alvy Singer while Keaton played the titular character, a role Allen wrote with her in mind. Annie Hall won four Oscars, including Keaton taking home best actress. Over the years, Allen confessed he only wanted to know what Keaton thought about his work.
“I never read a single review of my work and cared only what Keaton had to say about it,” he wrote via The Free Press. “If she liked it, I counted the film as an artistic success. If she was less than enthusiastic, I tried to use her criticism to re-edit and come away with something she felt better about.”
Allen shared that while Keaton is gone now, he will always remember her and the good times they shared.

“A few days ago, the world was a place that included Diane Keaton. Now it’s a world that does not. Hence, it’s a drearier world. Still, there are her movies. And her great laugh still echoes in my head,” he concluded.
In addition to having a close working relationship, Allen and Keaton previously dated in the ’70s. While things didn’t work out romantically, they remained close friends over the years.
Allen went on to marry Previn, who is the adopted daughter of his ex Mia Farrow, in 1997. Previn and Allen share two adopted daughters, Bechet and Manzie. Keaton, for her part, never married but adopted two sons, Dexter and Duke, later in life.
