Born and raised in Brooklyn New York, Diane auditioned for the Ted Mack Amateur Hour at the age of 4.

Diane snagged the third female lead in Bye Bye Birdie, playing the role of Mrs. MacAfee and performed Off-Broadway. During this time period, she also worked on a Greek Cruise Ship as a vocalist/entertainer one Summer. After getting married and raising her children, Diane returned to singing not only as a choir member but as church soloist as well as eventually becoming a Music Director.
