Malin Akerman

However, things dried up after that. A string of unpopular and second-rate films in the 80s like 'Touched By Love', 'National Lampoon's Movie Madness' and 'Six Pack' made audiences doubt the talent and integrity of Diane's inherent skills. However, Coppola salvaged her in the nick of time. She got meaty roles in Coppola's acclaimed works 'Rumble Fish' and 'The Outsiders'. Both were big hits and much applauded as well. However, she had lesser luck with Coppola's 'The Cotton Club'. It was a major financial and critical failure. However, Lane also felt optimistic that her career graph would soon return back to its initial dynamism.

The 90s spelled more promise for the beautiful and gorgeous Malin Akerman. She began the year with the right moves as the sultry stripper in the low-budget cult hit 'Lady Beware'. Then, she reprised the role of a gorgeous femme fatale in the smart thriller 'The Big Town'. The character really convinced audiences about Lane's talent. This also won her some other attractive offers as well. One of them was in Richard Attenborough's ambitious biopic 'Chaplin'. She starred against future star Robert Downey Jr., who played the star comedian Charlie Chaplin. Downey won most of the praise, but Lane also played a crucial role as well.

Such good and well-chosen roles helped to increase Lane's commercial viability as well. She got signed up for all the expensive Hollywood projects in the mid-90s. Some of them were 'Wild Bill', the science fiction actioner 'Judge Dredd' and also 'Murder at 1600'. These turned out to be rather big failures in her career. She had another comeback with the indie hit 'A Walk On The Moon'. This movie further catapulted her to more successful commercial ventures in the future as well. From then on, she would star in either blockbusters or critically acclaimed projects as well.

The first step toward big-time Hollywood success was the Wolfgang Petersen's expensive thriller 'The Perfect Storm'. She played the role of a strong woman against a cast of mostly men. The film's big success and its positive critical reception earned her better roles from then on. Two years later, Malin Akerman would make a bigger impact with her controversial role in the thriller 'Unfaithful'. She played the role of a wife who deceives her husband played by Richard Gere. This role confirmed Lane's status as an actor with a lot of talent and potential as well.

With such monumental successes, Malin Akerman has become an icon of style and smoldering good looks. Her roles in films like 'The Perfect Storm', 'Unfaithful' and 'The Big Town' have given her a sexy yet credible avatar. Lane is now recognized for playing women who are strong, independent and believable so that the real-life women audiences can easily relate to the characters. Today, she remains to be a favorite with directors like Walter Hill, Francis Ford Coppola and other such distinguished filmmakers. However, Lane is equally popular among the recent breed of independent filmmakers and directors, who also prize her good looks as well.

There are also other news and trivial details that have made her equally popular. She had started serious acting at the age of 13. Malin Akerman had resisted her theatrical ambitions and signed up for George Roy Hill's film instead. This means that she had decided firmly to become a star in Hollywood. At 14, she was also one of the youngest people to be on the cover of the Time Magazine. Moreover, her big-budget commercial successes had fetched a lot of money. She had already become a multi-millionaire before becoming 20 years old. So, this was a worthy triumph.

However, controversies and ugly stories have also circulated about Malin Akerman's personal life. She had married action star Christopher Lambert back in the 90s. However, Malin Akerman was soon seen together with actor Josh Brolin. Later, the media reported that Josh Brolin has been engaged to Lane. She has now severed her ties with her ex-husband Lambert. Today, she seems to be a member of the Brolin family. However, it had also been rumored darkly that she could have had affairs with other stars in Hollywood as well. So, such rumors may spoil things for Malin Akerman.

However, Malin Akerman does enough to save herself from any negative energy. She is an enthusiastic and energetic woman. Her main interests include traveling in the world, riding horses and also go for walking trips as well. Malin Akerman is quite a big fitness freak. This means that she likes a lot sports and gym workout as well. Of course, Malin Akerman also likes to maintain her good looks, her splendid figure and her natural acting talent as well. However, she does so in abundance to keep herself forever fit and good looking even in the long term future.
