Diane Holland (28 February 1930〔(Diane Holland ) IMDb〕 – 24 January 2009) was a British actress best known for playing Yvonne Stuart-Hargreaves in ''Hi-de-Hi!'' from 1980 to 1988. She was unmarried and trained as a dancer before being given the part of Yvonne Stewart-Hargreaves in ''Hi-de-Hi!'' (1980) by her brother-in-law, Jimmy Perry. Jimmy, who co-wrote ''Hi-de-hi!'', married Diane's sister Gilda, and saw Diane's talent. She also played the recurring role of Sarah Maynard in ''Crossroads'' from 1964-70. At the peak of ''Hi-de-Hi!'' in the 1980s, Diane received a letter from British troops in the Falklands and it "just snowballed". She became a Forces' sweetheart.〔(Diane Holland: actress on television show Hi-de-Hi! ) The Times〕 Following ''Hi-de-Hi!'', in 1990, she appeared in Central Television's comedy ''The Upper Hand''.
