> [@GoodOmens](#): > > You misspelled “Lane.” Diane Lane is not _hot_. _Hot_ is entirely inadequate to describe her. The single greatest disproof of the existence of the gods of Olympus is the fact that her mere existence has not incited the jealous wrath of Aphrodite, and that Zeus has not ravished her in the form of a dragon. ---

The single greatest disproof of the existence of the gods of Olympus is the fact that her mere existence has not incited the jealous wrath of Aphrodite, and that Zeus has not ravished her in the form of a dragon. The only problem with Diane Lane (your description is absolutely correct) is that whenever I see her I remember her in “A Little Romance” - and I feel pervy. ---

Fortunately I have not seen this movie. I somehow remained ignorant of her charms until I saw Unfaithful in theaters. That was a very nice introduction. ---

Anyone recognize the hottie in [this picture](http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/11/77111-004-9E12C89A.jpg)with Ronald Colman (a little past _his_ prime)? It’s Shelley Winters! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-had-totally-forgotten-that-blank-was-hot/500862.md?page=4)
