BIO - Diane Foster
Diane Foster was born the youngest of six children in suburban New Jersey. As long as she can remember, she was a performer.
Diane started dancing and singing at two and began acting in elementary school. With New York City being so close to her hometown, she
was able to afford all the opportunities the Big Apple had to offer. She trained extensively at various acting schools, and danced and sang with
many professional coaches and choreographers.
In high school, she was busy performing in several regional theatre company productions such as Follies and the world premiere of Children of Eden,
at the award-winning regional theatre, Papermill Playhouse. She studied at the theatre’s Conservatory for three years spending every day fine-tuning her craft.
During her last year of school, Diane was given the honor of winning Papermill Playhouse’s Rising Star Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Princess Winnifred in Once Upon a Mattress.
She was, coincidentally, nominated alongside a fellow Conservatory student, Anne Hathaway (Brokeback Mountain, The Devil wears Prada) for the same role at another school.
Diane went on to star in several productions including playing Young Liza in the Off-Broadway workshop, The Liza Minnelli Tribute. After gaining various theatre accolades,
Diane was ready to actively pursue film roles, necessitating a move to Los Angeles. Because of her background in New York theatre she was asked to perform for productions
such as The PussyCat Dolls variety show at the Roxy in Hollywood along with Christina Applegate, Charlize Theron, Brittany Murphy, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, and Carmen Electra.
Diane began working on Iowa shortly after she and Matt Farnsworth met. Matt had begun writing a script and Diane quickly became interested in producing the movie. Together, the pair founded a
company, Full Fathom 5 LLC, and got to work. They spent so much time in Iowa filming life and locations, they ended up cutting a documentary about the true life stories of meth addicts entitled Poor Man’s Dope.
Since then, Diane and Matt have traveled the country speaking about the meth epidemic and their films. Diane’s passion and work ethic have transformed her from chorus girl to film actress and producer.
Her journey has further been enhanced by her marriage to Mr. Farnsworth and the birth of their two children. Diane looks forward to making more films that will affect, entertain, and educate people.
