Conférences
Des théâtres comme le Paramount aux lignes de croisière comme le Crystal, les présentations de Diane sur le cinéma, l'écriture de scénarios et l'histoire de l'art divertissent et éclairent un large éventail de publics.
Ses conférences l'ont amenée à parcourir la moitié du monde, des États-Unis à l'Europe, en passant par l'Asie, le Moyen-Orient, le Pacifique Sud, l'Australie et l'Amérique du Sud. Diane aime particulièrement rencontrer des gens et partager des pensées, échanger des idées.
