Dianne's most recent big-screen appearance was as
the sympathetic teacher Mrs. Witherspoon, in the
feature film A Lobster Tale (starring Colm Meaney,
Graham Greene and Alberta Watson). Television
appearances include the ABC movie-of-the-week
Nature Of The Beast, and series such as The Murdoch
Mysteries, Little Mosque On The Prairie, Queer As Folk,
This Is Wonderland, Canada: A People's History, The City,
Boogie's Diner, The Judge and Street Legal. Dianne has
had a great time working in TV Sketch Comedy as well.
Miss Leutonia in the Schmenge Brothers' Beauty
Pageant for SCTV, bizarre German wrestling manager
Nurse Pretzel and the equally frightening
"Vice"-Principal on CBC's Jonovision to name a few.
But some of the wildest, wackiest, goofiest and most
"out there" characters of her career have been
created for those 30 or 60-second snippets of
heightened reality - TV Commercials. They have often
helped to make a mortgage payment or two, and
certainly have given her some fun times.
