Career: Lane began acting professionally at the age of six at the La MaMa Experimental Theater Club in New York. At 13 she turned down a role in Runaways on Broadway to make her feature film debut opposite Laurence Olivier in A Little Romance. A year later, she appeared on the cover of Time magazine, which declared her one of Hollywood's 'Whiz Kids.' One of the few child actors to make a successful transition into adult roles, Lane proved a hit with audiences in the back-to-back cult films The Outsiders and Rumble Fish. Streets of Fire (she turned down Splash and Risky Business for this film) and The Cotton Club, were both commercial and critical failures, and her career languished as a result. After The Cotton Club, Lane dropped out of the movie business and lived with her mother in Georgia. Lane returned to the business to make The Big Town and Lady Beware, but it was not until 1989's popular and critically acclaimed TV miniseries Lonesome Dove that people really took notice. For the past 20 years she has been one of Hollywood's most acclaimed actresses. She has starred in three hugely successful films with Richard Gere, including Nights in Rodanthe. More recent notable projects include Under the Tuscan Sun, Cinema Verite and Man of Steel.

Career: Costner believed his break would come in 1983's The Big Chill - but he was cut from the final film. However, director Lawrence Kasdan cast him in Silverado, which boosted his career. His first major leading role arrived in 1987 in The Untouchables. Since then he has picked up a Best Director Oscar for Dances with Wolves, and had box-office hits with The Bodyguard, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Field of Dreams and JFK. He has struggled to find successful projects in recent years, but Open Range in 2003, which he starred in as well as directing and producing, was a return to form. He won a 2012 Emmy Award for his role in miniseries Hatfields & McCoys. He's also appeared in Mr Brooks, The Guardian and Man of Steel.

Career: A frequent collaborator with Mike Leigh, Manville has appeared in a number of his films, including Secrets & Lies (1996), Topsy-Turvy (1999), All or Nothing (2002), Vera Drake (2004), Another Year (2010) and Mr Turner (2014). In 2011, she starred in Mike Leigh's play Grief at the National Theatre. Her other stage roles include His Dark Materials, The Alchemist, All About My Mother, Her Naked Skin, Six Degrees of Separation, and Ghosts, for which she won an Olivier Award. On the small screen, Manville has starred in David Copperfield, The Cazalets, North & South, and Cranford. More recently, she has appeared in Mayday, Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond, and River.
