English actress, best known for playing Denise Fox in the BBC Soap EastEnders and DC Eva Sharpe in The Bill.
A 2002 article described her as
"Tiny, but make no mistake, the petite 5ft 2in actress more than measures up in every other way," although on her agency website, they described her as 5'3".

I like being short. People don't expect big things and are surprised when they meet you.

@ Sandy Cowell - Absolutely, that is a very good and funny response!
Some of these men have (or had) a girlfriend/wife, some of these men have a sister. Do they respect them?
I have a hunch that Diane may be at least 5’2” in the above pic with Adam Woodyatt!

Just for a change, I’m watching The Bill.
Diane’s Eva has been laughing about the escapades of a flasher, and Roberta Taylor’s Gina tells her off. Then another woman comes in, possibly a policewoman, and she saw him and laughed.
That’s what you have to do, ladies: point at his object of pride and LYAO! Then he’s not so likely to do it again…..
It can be very upsetting for a young girl.
5ft2. 😄

I looked online for Denise’s EastEnders sister, Kim Fox, and found 5ft3 and 121 pounds. I thought she’d be less in height and more in weight.
The actress who plays her is Tameka Empson, and like Diane, she always looks her best too. I thought this week that Diane looked taller than Tameka, but there’s always the possibility that Diane was in high heels.
It’ll definitely be worth observing the two actresses next week……

It only dawned on me yesterday that Diane Parish has played TWO parts in the soap 'EastEnders', the first of which was that of a singer called Lola, starring in the late 90s. 🎶
When Diane returned, she had a far more prominent part, as a Mum and the wife of a dangerous, psychotic wife beater, who ended up in prison for murder. He was a religious obsessive, believing that he was always in the right.
I can't see more than 5ft2 - at most.

Looking at her when young, in Lovejoy, she looks five foot max, and extremely skinny. Cute though !

She is only slightly short!

I thought Diane might have been a bit smaller than this! She looks shorter than Shona McGarty, who is also listed as 5ft2; in fact she looks shorter than average for what seems to be a rather short cast, as seems to be quite commonplace on soaps as far as the womenfolk go!
