Diane Lane Wiki, Bio, Age, Net Worth, and Other Facts

Below is a compiled list of the most interesting facts about Diane Lane. Check it out!

Diane Lane was born on January 22, 1965, in New York. She is the daughter of acting coach Burton Eugene “Burt” Lane and nightclub singer/centerfold Colleen Farrington. Her parents’ families were both from the state of Georgia. Diane was acting from a very young age and made her stage debut at the age of six. Her work in such acclaimed theater productions as “The Cherry Orchard” and “Medea” led to her being called to Hollywood. She was 13 when she was cast by director George Roy Hill in his wonderful 1979 film A Little Romance (1979), opposite Sir Laurence Olivier. The film only did so-so commercially, but Olivier praised his young co-star, calling her the new Grace Kelly. After her well-received debut, Diane found herself on magazine covers all over the world, including “Time”, which declared her the “new young acting sensation”. However, things quietened down a bit when she found herself in such critical and financial flops as Touched by Love (1980), Cattle Annie and Little Britches (1981), Movie Madness (1982), Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains (1982) and, most unmemorably, Six Pack (1982), all of which failed to set her career on fire.
