Diana Danielle started acting at a young age with her first film being Idola. She then continued with smaller roles in TV shows and then quickly caught attention of bigshots in the industry, which wanted her to be in films. She was then proppled into superstardom by becoming a Movie Star. This Malaysian sweetheart has a reputation for being an over-achiever, but there's nothing wrong with challenging yourself if it helps make you better. Along with acting, she can also sing, and has one awesome voice for it as well!

She has studied abroad both in the United States, and in Australia to hone her skills and craft in the arts, and gain even more knowledge in the art of film.
