Diane Colleen Lane (born January 22, 1965) is an American actress and producer. Born and raised in New York City, Lane made her screen debut at age 14 in George Roy Hill's 1979 film A Little Romance. Laurence Olivier, who played a major supporting role in the film, called her "the new Grace Kelly". The two films that could have catapulted her to star status, Streets of Fire and The Cotton Club, were both commercial and critical failures, and her career languished as a result. After taking a break, Lane returned to acting to appear in The Big Town and Lady Beware, but did not make another big impression on a sizable audience until 1989's popular and critically acclaimed TV miniseries Lonesome Dove, for which she was nominated for an Emmy Award. It was not until 1999 that Lane earned further recognition for her role in A Walk on the Moon, and that was followed by her performance alongside George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg in the 2000 blockbuster The Perfect Storm. She was especially lauded and honored for the 2002 film Unfaithful, which earned her Satellite, New York Film Critics Circle, and National Society of Film Critics awards for Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama). Her performance in Unfaithful also garnered her Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for Best Actress. She was also highly lauded by critics for her performance in the immediately subsequent film Under the Tuscan Sun. For much of the rest of the decade, she alternately appeared as a lead actress in romantic films such as Must Love Dogs (2005) and Nights in Rodanthe (2008), and thrillers such as Fierce People (2005), Hollywoodland (2006), and Untraceable (2008). She has appeared in four films directed by Francis Ford Coppola: The Outsiders, Rumble Fish, The Cotton Club, and Jack. She has been in one film directed by his wife Eleanor Coppola: Paris Can Wait. She also played the recurring role of Martha Kent, the adoptive mother of Superman, in Man of Steel (2013) and appeared in subsequent films of the DC Extended Universe. Her most recent film is the 2020 neo-western Let Him Go.
In the fifth and most important film in this universe so far, the introduced heroes, along with others making their debuts, unite to stop the threat of Steppenwolf, forming the Justice League. Years ago, after a failure, Steppenwolf was banished from his home by his ruler, the powerful and feared Darkseid. As a chance for redemption, he sets out in search of the Anti-Life Equation to deliver to his nephew. This quest leads him to Earth, where he finds a Mother Box, ancient technology of the New Gods. Now Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern begin to deal with incidents involving this quest, appearances of pandemonium, and Steppenwolf himself. Realizing that this is a crisis they cannot handle alone and that the consequences of failure would be greater than ever, the four heroes unite by chance, but they are not the only ones. J'onn J'onz assumes the moniker of Martian Manhunter, inspired by Superman; Barry Allen, who has been acting as the Flash for nine years, joins the group to stop this terrible threat; and Shayera Hol, a woman with metallic wings, a club, and holes in her memory, known as Hawkgirl. Separately, the seven are great heroes, but together, they become legends. They become the Justice League. The beginning of the story of the greatest team of heroes the world has ever seen. After today, the world would never be the same.
