Early Life
Diane Colleen Lane was born on January 22, 1965, in New York City. She was born into a family with strong roots in the entertainment world. Her mother, Colleen Leigh Farrington, sang in nightclubs and posed for "Playboy" magazine during her prime in the 1950s. Her father, Burton Eugene Lane, was a respected drama coach who ran acting workshops in Manhattan before teaching humanities at City College. That being said, her parents split up when Diane was just a few weeks old, and her mother gained primary custody.
When Diane's mother relocated to Georgia, her father assumed primary custody when she was six years old. She then lived in hotels with him and rode with him in his taxi (a part-time job for Burton). However, her time with her father was relatively short-lived as well, and at the age of 15, she flew to Los Angeles and declared herself an independent adult. By this point, she was already somewhat established in the acting world.
Having realized that her actions were somewhat reckless, Diane soon moved back to New York – although she still refused to go home. Instead, she stayed with a friend's family and paid them rent. By the early '80s, she was back in high school. To add yet another twist to the story, her mother showed up and kidnapped her before she could graduate. She was then whisked away to Georgia, and it was only after a lengthy court battle that her father was able to bring her back to New York. This incident soured Lane's relationship with her mother, and they didn't speak to one another for several years.
