DIANE LANE - SHORT NECK WRECKED LANE'S MODELLING DREAMS

SHORT NECK WRECKED LANE'S MODELLING DREAMS

Actress DIANE LANE's modelling career came to an end when she was just 12, after an agency hotshot decided her neck was too short. The actress' mother Colleen Farrington was a lingerie model, and the young beauty had hoped to follow in her catwalk footsteps, but it was not to be. And she found out the hard way, during a meeting with Eileen Ford, the legendary founder of the Ford Model Agency. She reveals, "Somebody convinced me I could pull it off, because I was tall. But I went to visit Eileen Ford and she told me my neck was too short. So that was that."
