Oscar-winning actress Diane Lane turns 59 today. The actress is a renowned name in the world of cinema. Her career not only serves as an inspiration to millions of people but the tales of her dedication to work are also why people admire her. Lane’s contribution to the film industry is indeed commendable. So, while she celebrates another year of her life, let’s recall her journey so far.
Not everyone has a great start, but the real star is the one who knows how to stand up again and start anew. Lane’s cinematic journey was also no less than a challenge as during the initial phase of her career, she saw many setbacks; but despite those, she chose to stand up again and returned with a blast.
Lane started her acting career at an early age. She was 14 when she made her debut with the 1979 film A Little Romance. The fate of her initial films seemed dark and her films faced consecutive disappointment both commercially and critically. But that couldn’t stop Lane from pursuing her acting career. After taking a break, Lane returned with the intention of establishing her name in the industry, and she even did so. Her role in the western miniseries Lonesome Dove not only earned her recognition but she also earned a Primetime Emmy Award nomination.
This was just the start of her journey towards fame as she continued being the recipient of great honors. However, the actress became a household name with her breakthrough performance in the 2002 film, Unfaithful. She garnered awards and nominations, including an Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress.

She continued to reach milestones with her notable performances and her collaboration with legendary director Francis Ford Coppola led to some cult films like The Outsiders (1983), and The Cotton Club (1984).
