Diane Holland lived in Surrey. She was unmarried, and trained as a dancer before being given the part of snobbish Yvonne Stuart-Hargreaves in Hi-de-Hi! (1980) by her brother-in-law, Jimmy Perry. Jimmy, who co-wrote the holiday camp sitcom, married Diane's sister Gilda, and recognised her talent. At the peak of Hi-de-Hi!

Her later appearances included "The Nutcracker" in Covent Garden. Show less «
