Full Dian Parkinson Biography
Dian Parkinson (born Dianna Lynn Batts on November 30, 1944 in Jacksonville, North Carolina) is a former American model on The Price Is Right.
In 1965, while living in Falls Church, Virginia, she won the Miss District of Columbia USA title and competed as Diana Batts in the Miss USA 1965 pageant, where she placed fourth runner-up. She went on to represent the United States in the international Miss World contest, and was first runner-up to Lesley Langley of the United Kingdom. Also, she won the 1965 Miss World USA contest.
She travelled during 1965 with the Bob Hope USO Show including performances in Viet-Nam during late December 1965. Mr. Hope inaccurately presented her as Miss USA.
Dianna Batts aka Dian Parkinson from 1975 to 1993 was a Barker's Beauty model on the U.S. television show The Price Is Right, frequently appearing in the "Price Is Right Department Store" Showcase as the elevator operator, as well as becoming the favored model amongst male viewers for operating the Bump game. Her 18-year tenure on TPIR was among the longest of any of the models.
Dian left the show in 1993, "To pursue other interests", as Bob Barker announced during her final appearance. At the time, there were rumors, particularly in the tabloids, that Dian had left the show because of an ongoing feud with model Janice Pennington.
She was the cover girl of Playboy in December 1991 and May 1993, appearing in nude pictorials in both issues. |
