Diane Lane Back On Broadway As Leading Lady In 'The Cherry Orchard'
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Diane Lane spoke with 1010 WINS on Friday about her leading role in the Broadway play "The Cherry Orchard."
The play opened at the American Airlines Theatre on Sunday for a limited engagement, which is scheduled to run through December 4.
Lane stars as a woman who returns to her family's estate to stop its foreclosure.
"There's so much heart, and there's so much laughter, and there's so much crying, and there's so much you know analysis of human nature and people are making fun of each other throughout the show. There's just so many different points of view that are going on within the play," she said.
This isn't Lane's first time in the production. She was also in the play in 1977 when she was just 13 years old.
"I've always loved this play. Even when I was a child, it was memorizing. It's so worthy and timely I think to come to the stage now," she said.
Lane said she and her late father used to listen to 1010 WINS while he drove his taxi.
"We would be sitting there listening to the radio getting our news from your station," she said. "So it's all very -- it's like coming home, in every way possible."
She went on to make a name for herself on the big screen in movies like "Unfaithful," "The Outsiders," "The Cotton Club," "Under the Tuscan Sun" and "The Perfect Storm."
