Diana Ward, born of Italian parents, was an American citizen until she married Jock Manby-Colegrave, the British racing motorist, two years ago. She came to this country in 1935, sang at the Dorchester Hotel and played the Ethel Merman rôle in London in "Anything Goes". The following year she returned to New York to appear in the road show of the "Ziegfeld Follies".
During 1938 and 1939 she and her husband toured France, Egypt, Greece, and Italy, and returned only when war broke out. He joined the London Scottish, and she has been singing regularly in cabaret in London. She has starred in a number of radio successes.
