Diane has performed with San Francisco's longest running improve troupe, The National Theater of the Deranged, since 1981. In 1986, Diane overcame her fear of being alone on stage and embarked upon a successful stand-up comedy career which led to appearances on A&E's Evening at the Improv, Lifetime's Girls Night Out, and Comedy Central's Women Aloud, as well as her semi-finalist position on Starsearch 1995. In Diane's act, we meet several characters, some who have influenced Diane in her life and some who just moved into Diane looking for a voice. One of Diane's role models is Lucille Ball, because "she was so willing to be wacky and go out of her way not to look like anyone else when being funny. Lucille Ball would just go ahead and dive into a ridiculous situation and make it absolutely human so that anyone could relate to it. That's a great gift." Diane's appeared in several films including "Nine Months," "Copycat," "Angels in the Outfield," "Dreaming with the Fishes," "EDTV" and the soon to be released "Where the Money Is" with Paul Newman and Linda Fiorentino.
