Early Life
Diana Mary Fluck was born in Swindon, Wiltshire, on 23 October 1931, at the Haven Nursing Home. Her mother Winifred Maud Mary (Payne) was married to Albert Edward Sidney Fluck, but had a sexual relationship with their lodger, Gerald Lack. When Mary announced she was pregnant with Diana, she admitted she had no clear idea which of them was the father.
Educated at Colville House, like many children of the time Diana enjoyed the cinema; her heroines from age 8 onwards were the Hollywood sirens Veronica Lake, Lana Turner and Jean Harlow.
