Kip Gowans

Diana met Kip on the set for Oliver Twist. Despite Diana dressed in Dickensian clothes and dirt smeared all over her face, Kip took a liking to the 15 year-old Diana. Diana was attracted to his looks and confidence and she agreed to a date with him. He didn't take her to the cinema or for dinner, rather to Ruislip woods and as they lay on the grass battle ensued. Diana, still, in many ways admirably a virgin, fought off Kip's advances much to his disappointment. Despite this awkward date, they went on a second one which again turned out to be disasterous. Again they went to the woods and the same battle ensued.

Kip walked her back to the station muttering he'd see her around and that was the end of their brief romance. It had a profound affect on Diana, whom started to question herself and why she couldn't behave like whoever Kipp was to get with next. She wondered why she valued her virginity more than others around her and the whole ordeal certainly contributed to her growing up. Diana would wait for a long time for him to call again but he never did.

Kip ended up marrying Lee-Ann Remick and had a successful career as a director and producer.
