Deane was born Leslie Denise Lonon (the "s" in her first name being a typo by the hospital where she was born), in Corsicana, Texas. Aside from her big screen roles, Deane made guest appearances on such television shows as The Bronx Zoo, 21 Jump Street, Hunter, Freddy's Nightmares, Dynasty and Pacific Blue. She was also once a member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders squad, but was fired after six weeks for punching a choreographer.
