(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... high-powered executive who will do anything for ratings. Head of her TV network’s programming department, Diana is desperate for a new hot show, which will both shock and bait audiences with its deviant edge. Luckily, she is given Howard Beale, an old news anchor who becomes “mad as hell” on live TV, and attracts audiences everywhere.
Personality… hardboiled, unrelenting, and cold-hearted. Diana has very little interest in love and sexuality, instead preferring power through ratings, and the excitement of violence on live television. She uses people for their value to move herself up along the ladder.
