Diana Lewis Biography
Born in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Lewis began her film career in All the King`s Horses (1934) and worked steadily over the next few years, usually in minor roles. Her more notable films included Gold Diggers in Paris (1938), Go West (1940) and Johnny Eager (1942).

She met the actor William Powell in 1940, married after a courtship of three weeks and retired from acting in 1943. The couple remained together until Powell`s death in 1984. Lewis died from pancreatic cancer in Rancho Mirage, California and was interred at Cathedral City`s Desert Memorial Park in Riverside County, California, alongside Powell, and William David Powell, his son from a previous marriage.

Lewis was an active supporter of women`s golf and the LPGA. The LPGA`s William and Mousie Powell Award is named in honor of the Powells.
