In his first public position, after her death, his former partner and his partner, actress Diane Kiton, went by Woody Allen.

Quiton died last Saturday at the age of 79.

The 89 -year -old director, with whom the Oscar -winning actress had collaborated with eight films, published a moving text on The Free Press, expressing his pain.

“It is grammatically mistaken to say” more unique “, but all the rules of grammar – and perhaps anything else – do not apply when you talk about Diane Quiton. It was unique, like no other man on this planet. Her face and laughter illuminated every space where she was going, “she wrote.

Allen and Quiton met in 1969, when she was on audition for the play “Play it Again, Sam”.

Her interpretation gave her a nomination for a Tony Award, and then the two developed a relationship and a friendship that lasted for decades.

“I never read the reviews for my work. I was just caught up with what Diane had to say. If she liked it, I considered the work of artistic success. If not, I was trying to work it again until it was satisfied. “

Their collaboration took off with the film “Annie Hall” in 1977, which gave Quito to the Oscar for a female role and is considered one of the most iconic works in American cinema.

“Until a few days ago, people were a place that included Diane Quiton. Now it’s not anymore. And that makes him more hazy, “the director added. “Fortunately, there are her films – and her laughter that still echoes in my head.”

Quiton died on October 11 at her home in California.

According to TMZ, Los Angeles authorities received a call for an urgent medical incident on Saturday morning. The actress was taken to the hospital, where her death was found.

A source who spoke to People said that Allen was “overwhelmed, overwhelmed and completely unprepared” by the news, as she did not know about deteriorating her health.

“She was always grateful for her friendship and support. He appreciated her deeply. “

Quiton and Allen had maintained a close relationship throughout their lives, despite the fact that their bond ended decades ago.

In addition to “Annie Hall”, they collaborated on films such as “Love and Death” in 1975 and “Manhattan” in 1979.
