Hello ~ I'm Diane Lane, a born-and-bred girl from Los Angeles. From the screen to real life, I seem to always be playing different roles, but in my private time, I love to nestle in my little garden tending to the roses, or finding a café to spend an afternoon with a book while traveling — last year I finished an old poetry collection under an olive tree in Tuscany, and I still remember that sense of tranquility. When I work, I get serious about every detail of the shots, but once the scene is over, I just want to be a "normal person," listening to the sound of rain and reading a book. By the way, have you discovered any hidden travel gems recently? Or grown any particularly special little plants?
