I do not recall how I first found her, but we spoke on the phone then I went to Hawaii and spent a lovely and enlightening day with her. She is sharp, and her memories were clear and insightful. Nothing interesting was left on the cutting room floor; everything she shared made it into the book.
In many ways I think Diane was the most important supporting character in the book, as she was Homer's only co-worker, the only person with insights into what he did
and how he did it given that he was making it up as he went and she was Homer's guinea pig (both in front of the camera and during the lessons he gave her as barter for her modeling).
Hard to imagine Homer's book--or mine--without her.
