Dianne Foster is a Canadian actress of Ukrainian descent who began her career at the age of 13 in a stage adaptation of James Barrie's What Every Woman Knows. At fourteen, she began a radio career and subsequently moved to Toronto and became one of Canada's top radio stars. For a holiday in 1951, she traveled to London, England, where she met and later married Andrew Allen, drama supervisor for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. In London that same year, she appeared onstage in Agatha Christie's The Hollow and Orson Welles's Othello. In March 1952, her husband returned to Canada while she stayed in London to honour her five-year contract with a British film company.
