Meeting Diane Lane at the Secretariat World Premiere
On September 30th, Erica, our assistant extraordinaire here at 5 Minutes for Mom, and I attended the Secretariat World Premiere in Hollywood. We had the honor of interviewing Diane Lane at the party afterwards where we grabbed this quick shot.
It was an incredible experience and we both LOVED the movie. (You can read more about the film in my Secretariat review and interview with Secretariat Director, Randall Wallace.)
Secretariat is a must see for sure! I will be going again this weekend to see it with my son.
Diane was stunning and when she casually sat down in a chair at our table for our interview I was momentarily frozen with the realization that Diane Lane was sitting in front of me! And yet, while we chatted about motherhood and movie-making, I quickly forgot I was talking to a movie star. I was simply talking to a fellow mom with whom I could visit all night!
Thank you Diane for taking the time to talk to us at the end of an exhausting day. It was a meeting I will never forget!
Secretariat opened in theaters on October, 8th, 2010.You can also find Secretariat on Facebook at: Facebook.com/Secretariat and follow Secretariat on Twitter at: Twitter.com/SecretariatFilm.

Wow! She’s even more stunning than I realized (as are you!)
Yes – she is SO beautiful! And soooo tiny!!! I did not like the shot of me, but good grief, it is with Diane Lane! I had to post it even if I didn’t like the angle of my face! LOL
WOW! That is very exciting you guys. LOVE the pic!
Thanks! – It was SUPER fun and exciting!
Oh how exciting! I can’t wait to see the movie – was supposed to attend a screening last week but couldn’t make it. Hopefully will be able to sometime soon!

That is so exciting! I can’t imagine being that close to, let alone talk to, someone that famous. I think it would take me a few minutes to get ahold of myself. I have seen the previews for the movie and it looks like one I want to see. The picture is impressive. You all look stunning!

Everyone looks gorgeous. I keep hearing fabulous things about this movie. I think we will have to make sure to see it soon.
I have long thought she is one of the most naturally beautiful women in show business. And I love that she always appears so gracious and ladylike and feminine – like an old-school star. What a fun opportunity for you guys!
I’m sitting in awe at the fact that my son is old enough to be starting the college prep test process… Off for his first PSAT’s this a.m.

That’s amazing! The movie also looks as if it’s a good one.
How exciting! I love Diane Lane! My all-time favorite movie is “Under the Tuscan Sun” in which she plays the leading lady.
How exciting that you got to go to the premiere and interview her!
Diane Lane is as talented as she is beautiful. And Randall Wallace is one of my favorite directors, so now I know I’ll want to see this movie!
How exciting!!

is when I met Ann-Margret (and the cast of Army WIves)… and she was a wonderful NORMAL person!
Wow! How lucky are you? You look stunning by the way.
This looks really fun! What a great opportunity!
That is fantastic. I love Diane Lane and can’t wait to see the movie.
Very cool to get to meet her and experience the Hollywood event.
How cool that you just chatted away and didn’t get star struck. She is gorgeous and you can see the kindness she exudes. What a great person to meet. That’s awesome!!
What a wonderful experience, I’ve always liked Diane Lane and it’s great to know how down to earth she is and that she’s as lovely inside as outside.
What a cool experience! Great blog!
How very cool! All three of you look fabulous.
Thanks for the link-ups
I love Diane Lane!!
