Diane Lane's forehead lines...

Are those real, or did they make her skin look really aged with make-up or something?

She looked really sun damaged, so I thought that maybe it was a fake effect made to match the real Pat Loud's appearance. But then afterward I caught part of the American Family show that was running on PBS, and realized that Pat Loud didn't have forehead lines like that.

I know this is a really superficial question, but I just can't put my finger on how they made her face look so "70's".

The hair, the clothes, the sunglasses, the 70s make-up shapes and colors.

I thought they did a really good makeup job on her, the only thing I noticed that was not spot on (just a tiny nitpik) is that Pat Loud never wore her hair parted and pulled back as Diane Lane wears it below, it was always pulled back without a part.

I though Tim Robbins looked amazing as Bill though.

Lane appeared sans eyeshadow most of the time, but I think there were a couple of scenes when she wore shimmering shadow applied all the way to her eyebrow. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the way women wore shadow in 1973. I recall it was more like this http://tinyurl.com/6cq7jv5

I wonder about the length of Tom Dekker's hair as Lance. All the photos I've seen (and the clip from Dick Cavett at the end of the film) show Lance with short hair and the PBS pics of Lance over the years show him with short hair until his 30s-40s, although it was still shorter than Dekker's hair in Cinema Verite.

Hi randommovies2002. I just checked "ON DEMAND" and thankfully this has just been loaded so I can rewatch it and check out the makeup. In the original series it did not look like Pat wore shimmering eyeshadow. It looks more like she wore black eyeliner.

In the original series Lance had much longer hair. But it was filmed in 1971 and did not air until 1973, so by then Lance had cut his hair and looks like he basically kept it short.

(It's really addicting watching this and comparing everything to the original series)

Ahh! Thank you for that! It's been puzzling me.

Hi randon.....Lance cut his hair after the reality show was filmed. If you get the chance to catch An American Family, you will see that he had almost shoulder length hair at the time, and even wore berets in his locks to keep it out of his face.

Here is a link to a PBS website that has a shortened version of An American Family. The 12 hour series is edited down to a 2 hour version. It does a good job of hitting the high points, and you get to see Lance's long hair. Enjoy!

gomez,

I think make-up had a lot to do with that.

Yes, she has some forehead lines in real life, as can be seen in some of the pictures in the link below (courtesy of my friend franck).

But she is still incredibly naturally beautiful. She is 46 years old, and has never been under the knife. Hopefully, she avoids the temptation to ever get plastic surgery. That's been a disaster for many women.

As they say, "If it ain't broke, why fix it."

I so agree with you joshua. Diane Lane is as naturally beautiful (even more) as Pat was and if she is 46 now that is how old Pat was when the series was made. I hope Diane never submits to surgery either. She has aged so beautifully. So she has a couple of lines. It means she has lived. I love her look and agree with your quote.

We need to have actresses that are role models for not being afraid to look and act their age. When I think of what Melanie Griffith, Cher, Meg Ryan, Faye Dunaway, even Catherine Deneuve have done to themselves it upsets me so. I also think Diane Keaton has held off having anything but I could be wrong. She might have "freshened up" recently but still looks great. Susan Sarandon was another actress who I would have sworn would never have done a thing, but I think she did have her eyes done, but still looks age appropriate. I can understand wanting to have bags under the eye removed, or your neck tightened if it makes you feel better, but not the blow up dolls that we have become used to. I would rather see Annette Bening in all her natural glory than the mutant that some of these actresses have become. And they don't look better or younger..they just look horrible and fake.

I read something in the Hollywood Reporter a few months ago that casting agents are getting requests from directors now for women who are natural and have not had huge breast implants and horrible face work. Hopefully that is a good sign. I just read of a woman who went to a Las Vegas butcher this week to have her a$$ lifted and died. I'd rather be alive and have my a$$. so sad.

Can't believe there is a subject line about Diane Lane's forehead lines. She's 46 yrs old for God's sakes & who cares?

Totally agree. I posted on The Kids Are All Right board that Annette Bening looks quite a bit older than Julianne Moore even though she is only a couple of years older than Julianne. But kudos to Bening for keeping her natural face, even one that is not aging as well as other women.

I'm currently watching Special Treatment, a 2010 movie with Isabelle Huppert. She looks completely natural and lovely and I'm astonished she was born in 1953.

I agree, Diane Lane is absolutely gorgeous and natural looking. If I look anywhere near that good at 46, I will be ecstatic!

[–] say_y 13 years ago

Same same. Gosh I'd take some forehead wrinkle over the crow's feet I'm starting to get and I'm half her age. I only pray my wrinkles are like my boobs, a sudden spurt only to never develop again.

No botox, I'd imagine;-)

Diane Lane is aging, and not using botox or plastic surgery to mask one thing. I think she's as beautiful as she ever was.
