Diane Lane was born in New York City on January 22, 1965.

Lane made her screen debut at the age of 13 in George Roy Hill's "A Little Romance," starring opposite Sir Laurence Olivier.

Diane's mom was a Playboy centerfold in 1957 (Miss October), who was known as "Colleen Price."

In the 1980s Diane made a successful transition from child actor to adult roles. Her breakout performance was in "The Outsiders" in 1982.

She turned down roles in "Splash" and "Risky Business" to be in "Streets of Fire," which bombed at the box office.

Lane was nominated for her first Emmy in 1989 for her role in the TV mini series, "Lonesome Dove."

In the early 1980s, Lane dated actors Timothy Hutton, Christopher Atkins, Matt Dillon and later rock star Jon Bon Jovi.

Lane married actor Christopher Lambert in 1988, but they divorced in 1994.

Diane has one child, daughter Eleanor Jasmine Lambert, 17, with ex-husband Christopher Lambert.

Lane married actor Josh Brolin in 2004. They met at the premiere of "A Beautiful Mind" in 2001 and were later reintroduced to one another in 2002 at a party by Barbra Streisand.

In 1995 She admitted in Playboy that she has "a thing for really high thigh-boots. I have a cool collection! I love high heels."

Diane tried to pursue professional modeling as a teen but was told by Eileen Ford (of the Ford Modeling Agency) that her neck was "too short" to be a model.

Diane's dad died shortly before the release of "Unfaithful,"in which she received a Oscar nomination for her performance.

Lane was one of the later members of the "The Brat Pack," along with John Cusack.

Diane was hit in the eye with a tennis ball in 1980, which caused permanent pupil dilation.
