Greatly enjoyed your mod­est (in time) but sig­ni­fic­ant (in impact) con­tri­bu­tion to Whitechapel. Sublime non­sense but done with integ­rity and wit!! Should see more of you on TV

Hi Diana
I found your appear­ance in Band of Brothers quite sig­ni­fic­ant.
I am adapt­ing a book I wrote about a WWII RAF Squadron at the moment into a mini-series.
Hearing such a great English accent with­in the may­hem of the 501st really hit home.
I am also act­ing as tech­nic­al con­sult­ant on anoth­er WWII themed film, so please drop me a line.
Kind regards
Ian

I have just fin­ished watch­ing ‘Undeniable’ which I really enjoyed. Your screen daugh­ter Emma looked so much like you that I thought maybe you and Christine Bottomley might be mum and daugh­ter in real life? The resemb­lance was uncanny — great cast­ing!
Best regards

I just watched the epis­ode of Goodnight Sweetheart where you played the char­ac­ter Jayne Mansfield.

I love the part where you whis­per to Gary Sparrow that you are wear­ing stock­ings! Now I can­’t remove this fantasy out of my mind of you wear­ing these stock­ings.

Thanks for mak­ing a middle-aged man happy!

P.S. Just noticed the series is called Finding Jesus: Faith, Fact, Forgery. However, “Jesus Code” was ref­ered to on my screen as con­tinu­ing with the next epis­ode about Mary Magnalene. Mark

Diana, Just get­ting Midsomer Murders in the US via Netflix. Thought you were out­stand­ing in the Fisher King. I know 2004 was a while ago, but that is what is great about cinema, it lives on. I will look for more of your work. Best wishes.

Hi Lady Rose, just spot­ted what a fine act­ress you are in Father Brown and in all your oth­er act­ing roles — from an arm­chair crit­ic who may have called you Miss Rose in an earli­er com­ment.

Just saw you in Goodnight Sweetheart and you played a great seductress auc­tion­eer! How on earth could Gary refuse your charms rgds Fergal

Hi Diana, just watched Belgravia and was struck by the quiet class and beau­ti­ful enun­ci­ation and empathy of your par­ti­cip­a­tion. Feeling I knew the face I looked for you on cred­its as Duchess of Richmond — lo and behold, I did­n’t know you.
But I shall cer­tainly look out for you in future, both in past pro­duc­tions and those still to come. Do you get a heads-up when re-show­ings ( is there such a word?) are due?
Congratulations on a suc­cess­ful career
Francesca

Hi Diana,just seen you in an old Bergerac.You played a strange ol char­ac­ter in it,where you believed you was a witch from a pre­vi­ous life.i enjoyed your Performance.What was John nettles like to work with ? Regards Jason Mee

Good after­noon Diana and a very Happy Easter,

I hope you are mak­ing the most of the lock­down and stay­ing safe. I have to add that i just saw you in Goodnight Sweetheart and must admit i thought it was an amus­ing epis­ode and i think that you more than lived up to the char­ac­ters name­sake.

Enjoy this sunny day and please stay safe.

I remem­ber you from The Villagers, way back in the 70’s. Still as beau­ti­ful as ever!

Hi Diana, I have just watched Last Letter from your Lover. That last scene was beau­ti­fully acted and I cried. I hope you keep on work­ing and don’t retire. Thank you.

Hi Diana. I have just seen you in an Episode of Heatbeat. My hus­band imme­di­ately said you had played Wendy Mc Rae in the Villagers in South Africa. Could he be cor­rect.

Dear Ms Kent,

I am writ­ing to express my admir­a­tion for your amaz­ing por­tray­al in Poirot’s epis­ode Hunter’s Lodge. I was cap­tiv­ated by your per­form­ance and how you brought your char­ac­ter to life.

I have been a fan of Poirot since I was a kid, watch­ing the dubbed ver­sion on Iranian state TV twenty some­thing years ago. I still enjoy watch­ing one epis­ode per night, and tonight it was Hunter’s Lodge. I loved how you played the only woman in the plot, who turned out to be a crim­in­al (I know Agatha Christie’s meth­ods too!). I have stud­ied English lit­er­at­ure and I share your pas­sion for read­ing. I think it’s won­der­ful that you still main­tain a blog instead of using social media. You have such a unique voice and per­spect­ive that I always look for­ward to read­ing your posts. I hope that someday I will have the oppor­tun­ity to meet you in per­son, either in Iran or in England.

Thank you for tak­ing the time to read my let­ter. It would mean so much to me if you could send me an auto­graph or a reply. You are an inspir­a­tion to me and many oth­ers who appre­ci­ate your work.

Best regards,

Dear Diana,

I just wanted to express how much I enjoyed your char­ac­ter as Mrs. Lamb in Band of Brothers. As a dual cit­izen and former UK res­id­ent, I would likely have seen you in more recent pro­duc­tions.

However, you will remain in my heart as the lovely, hard-work­ing and oh-so-sexy British milf of my dreams...

I hope you are well.

My Best Wishes,

Peter

Dear Diana, I’m cur­rently binging on Midsomer Murders and just fin­ished “The Fisher King”, which reminded me of what a treas­ure you are. I’ve enjoyed so many of your per­form­ances through the years, and look for­ward to many more.
Yours truly, Bill.

Hi Diana,
I watched you in “Morlang” and you were superb. I hope to see you in many more films like “Morlang.”
