Correction.
Like celebfan said Diane’s profile should be linked to Josh Brolin’s as they were married. Or are the links on the pages only created when the celebrities have had children together? If so, I guess disregard this.
She was married to Josh Brolin, who’s also listed on this site.
She looks like she’s having an orgasm in that pic, and those dilated pupils are really helping. :)
Her eyes look green/hazel
no native american????? i know a lot of people claim to be part native, but i would actually believe her if she claimed it. she looks like she could have some distant native american, just look at her eyes.
