Diana Morgan (born September 21, 1951 in Chicago, Illinois) is an actress and former television news personality in Hampton Roads, Virginia.
[edit] Television news
Diana began her career on television stints in Evansville, Indiana, Nashville, Tennessee and Champaign, Illinois before her arrival at Portsmouth, Virginia's WAVY-TV in January, 1981. During this time, WAVY started a slow but steady climb out of the basement of the then called Tidewater-area television news wars. Morgan, who was first teamed with Bob Grip and later Terry Zahn, became one of the most watchable news anchors in the 1980s, eventually leading WAVY to the number one news spot in the area. Morgan was the highest paid anchor in the area, with her salary reaching the six-figure range, which was unheard of in the 1980s.
Diana eventually left WAVY during 1989 and arrived at WCIX in Miami. Diana started there as weekend anchor/reporter but eventually became weekday evening anchor.
[edit] Acting
After a four year stay in South Florida and a contract dispute, Diana left the station and South Florida for good. She then began taking theatre and acting lessons to fulfill a life long dream to become an actress. Diana did local theatre for a time in her hometown Chicago. Then she packed up and headed west to Hollywood to pursue her dream full-time.
Diana, mostly cast as a news reporter/anchor in movie and television roles, has appeared on The Young and the Restless, Days of our Lives and The Bold and the Beautiful. She has also done roles on television programs such as Babylon 5 and The West Wing. In Babylon 5, she played the recurring role of Alison Higgins, the anchor for ISN News. In the movies, Diana did cameos in Eraser, Billboard Dad and Titanic where her voice as a news anchor is prominent in the opening credits.
