“You know, it’s a fun story for me because it was sort of a revenge moment,” Diane Lane told Jess Cagle and Julia Cunningham. “[Director] Adrian Lyne likes to do a lot of takes, and I can tell you some stories about that as well. Made my chiropractor rich hurting my neck in the kissing scene, but that’s another story. So, that train scene, we were bringing the train back to the starting point. We were done with our filming day. There was nothing left to film and it’s just me and the crew and Adrian and the camera and he said, ‘Well, we might as well roll. What do you got?’ And I said, ‘You’re gonna let me have just one take?’ I was so, yeah. It was revenge.”

Diane Lane Reveals Eddie Vedder Is a Big Fan

Additionally, Diane, who was recently nominated for an Emmy for her role in “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans,” revealed that Eddie Vedder is a fan of “Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains.”

“The coolest moment of my life was when Eddie Vedder said, ‘I’ve wanted to meet you since seeing you in that movie,’ and I just still, I haven’t recovered yet” the 59-year-old actress said. “I don’t think I ever need to recover from that moment. It was top top-drawer moment of my life. For sure. For sure, because if you can get ’em young, like I was talking to you before about the impressionability that, you know, when you’re young especially and actors and when you first consider other people’s points of view, other people’s experiences and it was so jarring and so empowering to see females of that young age be outrageous onstage live. I mean, and it was also a little traumatizing to have the entire crowd throw things at us and boo us off the stage as well.”
