Who is Diane Lane?

Diane Lane was born in 1965 in New York City, to a Playboy centrefold known as Colleen Price and a drama coach who also drove cab, Burton Eugene Lane. Lane was raised by her father after her parents divorced while she was still a baby. Later in life while moving in with her mom, she met her maternal grandmother, a Pentecostal preacher. Diane was mesmerized by her grandmother’s theatricality and fell in love with acting from this point on. At the age of six, Diane was acting with the experimental theatre group called La Mama, in New York City. She worked with Sir Laurence Olivier in A Little Romance. Diane was just thirteen at this time. Diane is one of the best-known child actors who made the successful transition to adult roles. 1989 brought with it much success for Lane in her starring role in the popular and critically acclaimed TV miniseries called Lonesome Dove. This actress may be best defined as lonesome-in-love since she has had a failed marriage to both actors’ Christopher Lambert and Josh Brolin. The second marriage did not go on for very long before police were called to settle a domestic altercation between the couple. This actress may be acting out from her lack of mothering as a baby but let us hope that her career and her life in general features a very happy ending.
