Dianne Dorman, author of PLAYBOY, CELEBRITIES & ME IN THE SWINGIN' 70S

Dianne Dorman got married and had her son after graduating from high school in Orange County, California.

She divorced, had a heartbreaking romance with an all-star California Angel baseball player, she struck out on her own and headed for Hollywood—despite advice from her friends to the contrary.

She happily spent the ’70s with the Playboy Modeling Agency, which opened a lot of doors, and sparked her interest in fashion.

Dianne eventually moved to Florida, where she opened the women’s trendy clothing boutique Nantucket Bay which later morphed into the eclectic boutique Di’s Dazzle.
