Diane Lane opens up about painful childhood memories: 'It’s always your mother, right?'

Hollywood icon Diane Lane opened up about painful childhood experiences she tapped into for her role in Ryan Murphy's 'Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.'

In a June profile for The Guardian, Lane discussed joining the experimental theatre group La MaMa in New York at 7 years old ("it definitely got me a seat in therapy"), performing Chekhov alongside Meryl Streep at 12, and how she ran away to Los Angeles at only 15, before being illegally whisked back to Georgia by her mother, who her father, the custody-holder at the time, then sued. The Swans chronicles the bitter falling out between Truman Capote and several post-war high-society New York socialites, who the In Cold Blood novelist allegedly used as models for characters in his scandalous unpublished novel, Answered Prayers. When a chapter of the book titled "La Côte Basque 1965" was published in a 1975 issue of Esquire, several public figures who could easily identify themselves in Capote's characters broke off contact and even swore revenge.
