This is some information on Diane that I've gathered, I'll add as I find more.
Basic Bio:
Diane Neal was born on November 17, 1976 in Alexandria, Virginia, but grew up in Littleton, Colorado. She graduated high school at age 16 and was a pre-med major at a university in Hawaii. She left school when she was presented with modeling opportunities in New York City. She then studied biblical archaeology in Egypt and Israel because she “wanted to be Indiana Jones really badly.” She studied at the Atlantic Theater Company Acting School, and then landed her first acting jobs.
She has two sisters, Leigh, and an older sister Erin who died from leukemia. Her father is a district attorney in Denver, who is very happy that his daughter is playing an ADA. Her mother is a math teacher. She has green eyes and red hair (although at the present it is leaning toward blonde-ish), and is about 5'9". She is engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Irish model Marcus Fitzgerald. They are going to be married sometime in July 2005, in the Dominican Republic. The two bought and are currently re-finishing a house in New Jersey.
"They come to see our place which has windows covered up with garbage bags. You know, basically living in squalor," Neal says. "Then, they see me driving a 1999 Ford Escort and ask, 'Are you really a star on television?' But that's my normal life, which for me is, like the best. When you think about it, all the other stuff really doesn't matter."
