Lane was born in New York City on January 22, 1965 to acting coach Burt Lane and Playboy centerfold Colleen Farrington. Primarily raised by her father after her parents’ divorce, Lane pursued professional acting as a child, and received critical acclaim for productions of Chekov’s “The Cherry Orchard” and Euripides’ “Medea” at New York’s La Mama Experimental Theatre. Her film debut came in 1979 opposite Sir Laurence Olivier in “A Little Romance”, and the next year saw her grace the cover of Time Magazine. Lane went on to star in a string of box office failures including “Cattle Annie and Little Britches” before Francis Ford Coppola rescued her career with his complementary teen films “The Outsiders” and “Rumble Fish”. Both films were mild hits, and have since become cult classics, but Lane’s career stumbled again with the failures of the rock-n-roll opus “Streets of Fire” and Coppola’s overwrought “The Cotton Club”......click title page to read and view more.
