Portrayed by Shelley Long, Diane appeared as a show's main character up until its fifth season finale, "I Do, Adieu". She also appeared as a guest character in the series finale, "One for the Road", and in three episodes of the ''Cheers'' spin-off ''Frasier''. Throughout her time on the program, Diane has an on-off relationship with the womanizing bartender Sam Malone (Ted Danson) and a one-year relationship with Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer). ==Creation and casting== According to Shelley Long, Diane looks more intelligent than she really is. She uses books and academics to communicate with others, usually unsuccessfully. After a series of events which bring her scorn and ridicule, Diane realizes that she knows little about the real world and the bar, and must learn about the world without using books. Wendie Malick auditioned for the role of Diane; she later appeared in ''Frasier'' as Ronny Lawrence. Bess Armstrong was offered a role, but she turned it down. Long, Lisa Eichhorn, and Julia Duffy were the producers' top three considerations for the role. NBC executives praised test scenes between Long and Danson, so the creators chose Long. Julia Duffy later appeared as one of Diane's friends in "Any Friend of Diane's", a 1982 episode of ''Cheers''. When the character was conceived, Diane was to be an executive businesswoman who would have a "love-hate" relationship with ex-baseball payer Sam Malone (Ted Danson); their relationship was inspired by the romantic movies of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. Instead, she became a pretentious college student. When Long left the series in 1987, the producers reverted to the original concept for Diane to use with Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diane Chambers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
