Great Zanes
SPOTLIGHT
they're young, they're sexy, and, frankly, they don't know the first thing about fencing. But the Zane gang, actors all, are eager to leam. "I'm going to take fencing and ballroom dancing," says Chicagoborn Billy Zane, the musketeer in the middle, "because I want to be prepared for the time when they start demanding something from actors again." Not that Zane hasn't proved himself dangerous enough without foil and saber. So far, in fact, he's mostly played scary psycho roles—first as a minor thug in the Back to the Future films and then, memorably, as the shipboard killer in Dead Calm, the taut Philip Noyce thriller. That's his big sister, Lisa Zane (twenty-five, a year older than Billy), on the left; you may remember her as the femme fatale felled by Rob Lowe's lethal golf swing in Bad Influence. And on the right, meet Billy's wife, Lisa Collins; she's an actress, too, but so far she's spent most of her time languishing on cutting-room floors: "I'm a low-profile personality," she admits.
And now that you've got all that straight, you're probably wondering why we called the Zane gang together. Well, Billy's about to show up in the new David Puttnam film, Memphis Belle, and then he'll star in and direct a monster movie called Precarious. Lisa Zone's playing the title role in Tamara on the Los Angeles stage, and then she'll also be in Precarious. And Lisa Collins is modeling and hanging out with Billy, and, of course, she'll be in Precarious, too. Mostly, though, we called these Zanes together to look glamorous. Glamour is something they take very seriously.
