What a phenominal actress


Just saw her in TH8. I was blown away by what an astonishing actress she is! I need to backtrack and watch her entire filmography.

That was my reaction as well. She is fantastic in Single White Female, Hudsucker Proxy, Last Exit to Brooklyn and Miami Blues. Her best performance is in a movie called Georgia though.

I like that she's not afraid to do slasher films (Eyes of a Stranger 1981) get torn in half (The Hitcher 1986) get nearly nekkid (Flesh + Blood 1985 and Sister Sister 1988) sing..SHE HAS A NICE VOICE!!!! (Girls of the White Orchid 1983 Georgia 1995 Hateful 8 and Anomalisa 2015), get spit on (Undercover 1987 and Hateful 8) get raped (Last Exit to Brooklyn 1990 and The King is Alive 2000) direct herself (The Anniversary Party 2001) get buried alive (Buried Alive LOL 1990) get her head cut off (In The Cut 2003)
Every movie JJL has ever been in is in is interesting; and I didn't even mention the most respected films (like Short Cuts, Hudsucker, Mrs Parker)
I love Diane Lane too but the movies Diane chose are…well…just saw Hardball…wow!!! what a loser a waste of Ms Lane
