Diane Lane returns to the Coppola fold in Paris Can Wait, Eleanor Coppola's fiction-film debut, having previously made four films for Francis Ford Coppola. The Outsiders (1982) and Rumble Fish (1983) were based on the hugely successful S. E. Hinton novels. The Cotton Club (1984) was the first of three films with Richard Gere and she co-starred opposite Robin Williams in Jack (1996).

This fall, Lane will play 'Mme. Ranyevskaya' in The Roundabout Theatre Company's production of The Cherry Orchard - also a homecoming of sorts because she previously appeared in Joseph Papp's 1977 revival of the play. That same year, she was in Lincoln Center's Agamemnon as well as the original production of Elizabeth Swados' musical, Runaways.

The legendary La Mama Experimental Theatre served to launch the six-year-old tot's career. Her most recent stage work includes Lincoln Center's The Mystery of Love and Sex by Bathsheba Doran, and the Tennessee Williams' classic, Sweet Bird of Youth, at Chicago's Goodman Theatre.

Diane Lane made her film debut in A Little Romance, (1983) opposite Laurence Olivier. Just one year later she graced the cover of Time magazine and has since created an enduring cinema career, appearing in more than fifty features and numerous television productions. She received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for Unfaithful (2002), opposite Richard Gere, along with best actress citations from the New York Film Critics Circle and National Society of Film Critics. She was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for her work in A Walk on the Moon (1999), opposite Viggo Mortensen and enjoyed a SAG 'Best Ensemble' nomination as part of the cast of Trumbo in 2015.

She co-starred opposite superstars Robert Downey, Jr. in Chaplin (1992) and George Clooney in A Perfect Storm (2000). Her lengthy filmography also includes Under the Tuscan Sun (2003 - for which she was Golden Globe nominated), Nights in Rodanthe (2008), Hollywoodland (2006) and the canine- themed films, My Dog Skip (2000) and Must Love Dogs (2005). In the sports drama, Secretariat (2010), her focus was on a horse which became a Triple Crown winner.

Lane has received two Emmy nominations for her television work - for the miniseries Lonesome Dove (1988) and for Cinema Verite (2011), for her portrayal of Pat Loud, matriarch of the first American family to be the subject of a reality television show.

In addition to Paris Can Wait, her most recent pictures are the Watergate-themed thriller, Felt, opposite Liam Neeson, and a return to the screen as 'Martha Kent' in Justice League, third in the sequel of Man of Steel (2013) and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016).

Born in New York City on January 22, 1965, Diane split her growing-up years between Manhattan and Georgia. Her mother, Colleen Leigh Farrington, was a nightclub singer and her father, Burton Lane, a drama teacher who also served as her manager when she was young. She has one child, Eleanor Lambert, who appears in Paris Can Wait as the character's daughter.
