Actor Born: September 18, 1915 in Asbury Park, NJ Death: January 1, 1997 Biography:The daughter of vaudevillians, "Diana Lewis" made her screen debut as bird-brained preteen Miss Dunk in "W.C. Fields"' "It's a Gift" (1934), disrupting Fields' early-morning slumber with her inane, top-at-the-lung questions. She then quit acting to attend high school, but by 1939 was back before the cameras, this time as an MGM contractee. Her best-known role at Metro was as the antiseptic heroine in the "Marx Brothers" '"Go West" (1940). Known to her friends as "Mousie," Lewis began losing interest in pursuing a film career when, in 1940, she married MGM star "William Powell". Retiring from the screen in 1943, Diana Lewis happily devoted herself to her marriage and social obligations; she remained Mrs. William Powell until her husband's death in 1984. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
