Diane Foster was born the youngest of six children in the state of 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 just as many 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 theatres' 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".

Diane went on to star in several productions including playing "Young Liza" in the Off-Broadway workshop, "The Liza Minnelli Tribute", and two different roles in the Off-Broadway production of “Six Goumbas and a Wannabe”. After gaining many accolades in theatre, Diane was ready to actively pursue film roles which led her finally 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 started working on "IOWA" shortly after Matt Farnsworth and her met. Matt had started writing a script and Diane was interested in producing the movie.They started a company, Full Fathom 5 LLC, and got to work. They spent so much time in Iowa filming life and locations, that they ended up cutting a documentary about the real life stories of meth addicts, "Poor Man's Dope". Since then, they have been all over the country speaking about the meth epidemic and their films. Diane's passion and work ethic have transcended her from chorus girl to film actress and producer. Her journey has further been enhanced by the birth of her two children and marriage to Mr. Farnsworth. Diane looks forward to making more films that people will be effected by.
