At 40, Diane Lane remains stunning. She instantly captured my attention in Under the Tuscan Sun, her first film which I had ever seen. The first thing which struck me were her eyes. Pools of deep vulnerability, wisdom, hope and surrender taking in the wonders of creation. Her smile warm and pliant, yet sad, as though unpracticed...inviting a caress and a long smoldering kiss to release her repressed joy. Her hair seems to have a consciousness of its own, with each gossamer strand self-aware, knowing where to fall on her face and shoulders like glistening water from an ancient fountain that slakes the thirst for beauty for all who would drink from it. Diane is emotive, totally feminine. A woman who emits sensuality in waves. A woman who makes a man thrilled he is a man.
Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yet even without eyes one could feel the glowing warmth, and love of life which gives her such resplendence. And which makes her performances in her films so captivating.
