Executive summary: A Walk on the Moon Diane Lane's father was an acting coach who despised "the Method", and her mother was a nightclub singer and Playboy centerfold. As she grew up in New York, John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands were frequent houseguests, but Lane's parents separated when she was still young, and during the ensuing years of custody dispute she was kidnapped and largely raised by her mother. She made her stage debut at the age of six. She toured Europe in stage productions before puberty, without either of her parents, tended to instead by her castmates. She was just weeks past her 13th birthday when she made her Broadway debut in The Cherry Orchard with Meryl Streep and Raul Julia.
Lane starred in her first film at 14, A Little Romance with Laurence Olivier and Broderick Crawford. The film landed her on the cover of Time, and co-star Olivier described her as "the next Grace Kelly". She later starred in the delightful Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains with Laura Dern and Christine Lahti. Lane's mother pilfered upwards of half a million dollars from her teenage earnings. Still, she earned enough in her early stardom that Lane became a millionaire on her 18th birthday.
She starred in a series of films for Francis Ford Coppola, including Rumble Fish and The Outsiders, both with Matt Dillon, and the large-scale flop The Cotton Club with Richard Gere. She turned down Splash, which instead made a star of Daryl Hannah, and Lane's own star faded with a few further flops, until TV's Lonesome Dove with Robert Duvall briefly reignited her career. She had a small role as Paulette Goddard in Chaplin with Robert Downey, Jr.
More recently, she scored a moderate hit in 2002 as the cheating wife in Unfaithful with Gere again, and she appeared as Superman George Reeves's lover in Hollywoodland. She has also had a successful late career as a mature leading lady in several romances, including A Walk on the Moon with Viggo Mortensen, Under the Tuscan Sun with Sandra Oh, and Must Love Dogs with John Cusack.
Lane was married to low-budget action star Christopher Lambert, and has custody of their daughter Eleanor. She married Josh Brolin in the summer of 2004, and he was arrested for spousal abuse four months later. She later claimed it was all a "misunderstanding".
