Diane Lane

Her big-screen debut opposite Sir Laurence Olivier in 1979’s A Little Romance landed Diane Lane on the cover of Time at the age of 14. Now, after having earned a 2002 Oscar nomination for her perfect stormy portrayal of an adulterous wife in Unfaithful, Francis Ford Coppola’s muse graces the pages of The Advocate. And who knows? After playing a case-hardened cybercop in the new thriller Untraceable -- and reteaming with cuckold Richard Gere in the upcoming romantic drama Nights of Rodanthe -- the 43-year-old Neutrogena ambassador might just become a bigger Hollywoodland icon than her mother-in-law.


Forget dogs! Gays must love Diane Lane. How conscious are you of that fan base?
Oh, I’m delighted to hear that, but I have to say I’m more aware of my husband’s. That appeal? I understand it. But I think I turn a blind eye to my own because I get embarrassed or I’m shy or I don’t take compliments well.

So Josh Brolin feels our love?
I can’t speak for him, but I know that there are plenty of guys that I’ve been around who have expressed if not glee for me, then envy of me.

I’ve had a crush on him since 1985’s Goonies. You too?
[Laughs] No. Actually, I was blessed to have no previous impressions of him aside from meeting him, which is a much healthier way to start a relationship. I finally saw Goonies after we had already been together for, like, a year. Then I became jealous that I didn’t meet him when I was 15 and got very upset over anybody he knew before me -- ever.

Your queer appeal certainly isn’t hurt by the fact that your stepmother-in-law, James Brolin’s wife, is Barbra Streisand.
Isn’t that hysterical? Who’d-a thunk?

What are the perks there?
Honestly, she’s just a very gracious, beneficent aunt and family member, and she’s just lovely in terms of having the ability to be the number 1 hostess.

As an ’80s child star, what was your wildest, most Lindsay Lohan moment -- aside from dating Jon Bon Jovi?
Oh, I thought that was absolutely, perfectly appropriate for me. I mean, my God, first of all, going out with somebody for five months is long when you’re 20. The fact that he was away and traveling on his tours was probably how we lasted so long -- kind of like my first marriage: When you see each other once a month, it’s easy to be romantic. But what was my craziest dysfunctional teenage moment? Honestly, I was so boring and uninteresting. And I loved it that way.
