MORE VITAL STATS & FACTS ABOUT DIANE CHAMBERS  

• Ever since she was a child Diane dreamed of being a ballerina and later in life while at Cheers she auditioned to be a ballerina (with disastrous results).

• In high school, Diane was voted the girl most likely to marry into old money. She lost her virginity at age nineteen. In college, Diane belonged to the Phi Epsilon Delta sorority. Her course load included 26 units of psychology [she’s a Skinnerian Behaviorist] and a bowling course that satisfied her Phys Ed requirement.

• To keep her company, Diane collected a number of stuffed animals including Mr. Jammers, a giraffe; Freddy Frogbottom, a toad; Mr. Buzzer, a bee; Gary Gorilla [who hates Mr. Jammers] and her favorite puppet Brian the Lion. The remains of Brian were turned in rag that Diane used to wipe the bar at Cheers.

• Diane also had a real cat named Elizabeth Barrett Browning (after her favorite poet). When her cat died Diane went into a deep depression. And speaking of depression, Diane once spent a lengthy stay at Goldenbrook Psychiatric Hospital. Diane was allergic to dogs especially Frasier Crane’s dog Pavlov. When exposed she talked in a high-pitched nasal voice.

• When upset Diane gets a facial tic that causes a twitch on the right-hand side of her face. It almost ruined her chances in the ‘45th Annual Miss Boston Barmaid Competition but she won based on beauty, perkiness and congeniality. To stop the twitch, Diane meditates.

• Prior to Cheers, Diane worked as a salesclerk at the 3rd Eye Bookstore; a checkout clerk at Hurley's Market; and a substitute teacher at Boston University.

• For a time, Diane's was stalked by a crazed ex-murderer called Andy Andy who was released from psychiatric hospital. The experience gave her strange nightmares. 

• Diane's father wanted Diane to marry so he placed a clause in his will (as a motivational factor) that if she did not get married within ten years of his death, then all of his money would be forfeited from both Diane and her mother. One day before the ten years expired, Helen shows up and informs Diane of the will's condition. Diane tired to find a ready-made husband, but didn't meet the deadline. Fortunately, the family chauffeur who had been stealing money from the family for years, proposed marriage to Helen and she was back on the road to wealth.

• And finally, while everyone at Cheers calls bar regular Mr. Peterson "Norm," the prim and proper Diana calls him "Norman."
