What happens

Diane is a 1956 American historical drama film directed by David Miller and produced by Edwin H. Knopf for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). The film is a fictionalized account of the life of Diane de Poitiers, whose married name was the "Countess de Brézé". The film stars Lana Turner as Diane. The supporting cast includes Pedro Armendáriz, Roger Moore, Marisa Pavan, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Torin Thatcher, Taina Elg, John Lupton, Henry Daniell, Melville Cooper, and an early film appearance by Stuart Whitman. It was Turner's last film under her longtime MGM contract and thus marked another stage in the decline of the studio star system. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
