Diz White Biography
British-born Diz White is a book author, speaker, actress and comedy playwright who divides her time between Hollywood and the Cotswolds, the most beautiful part of England.
Diz White is a sought-after keynote speaker for women's groups, corporate entertainments, fundraising events, book clubs and numerous other organizations. Her performance skills from her comedic acting and writing background enhance the subject matter of her talks, providing them with a lighthearted and amusing framework.
Diz received a New York Critics Drama Desk Award for her role in El Grande de Coca-Cola (after its two year run in New York) which she conceived and co-wrote. She also starred in the comedy special adaptation of this show when it was televised by HBO. Among numerous roles and guest appearances in television and film including Star Trek Next Generation with Patrick Stewart, Diz White conceived, co-wrote and starred in the play Bullshot Crummond. It was televised as a comedy special by Showtime and garnered Diz an Ace Cable Award nomination. Following this Diz co-wrote the screenplay for the major motion picture Bullshot, in which she starred with Billy Connolly. This was produced by ex-Beatle George Harrison's HandMade Films.
Both of her plays, El Grande de Coca-Cola and Bullshot Crummond have now become comedy classics and are performed all over the world through Samuel French Play Scripts licensing.
After a successful career as an actress and playwright in the U.S.A., Diz's roots pulled her back to England where she bought a cottage in the Cotswolds. Her passion for this gorgeous region inspired her to write her Cotswolds series of books and she has now given over fifty talks in both the U.S.A. and Europe based on them.
The enormous following for the Downton Abbey television series has made one of Diz's talks, based on her book More Cotswolds Memoirs: Creating the Perfect Cottage and Discovering Downton Abbey in the Cotswolds, very popular.
In this talk the Downton Abbey film locations in the Cotswolds are identified and their architectural history explored along with other historic sites of this region. There is even more interest being generated in this topic now that a feature film of Downton Abbey is in production.
Before becoming an actress Diz graduated from The Central St. Martins School of Art in London and her study of architectural history illuminates and informs her descriptions of the Downton Abbey historic film locations. She also applies this knowledge to her meticulous research on the architectural history content in her talks focusing on the rich past that is a feature of the Cotswolds region. Woven into Diz's talks are many amusing anecdotes of the entertaining journey the author embarked upon as she searched for and purchased a 17th Century cottage in this halcyon area of England. Synopsis of Diz White’s first book in the series Cotswolds Memoir: Discovering a Beautiful Region of Britain on a Quest to Buy a 17th Century Cottage.
An English actress and comedy writer returns from Hollywood to her homeland to buy a cottage in the Cotswolds, the most beautiful part of Britain. Her exciting search turns into a laugh-out-loud, good life, foodie, meet the eccentric locals, cliff-hanging, explore the idyllic, historic Cotswolds fun read as she finds the sense of community lacking in her urban existence and decides ‘It doesn’t get much better than this.
Amazon consistently ranks Diz's series of Cotswolds books in their top ten Best Selling Travel Books. Her humor and the subject matter of her books are often compared to travel, humor author Bill Bryson – particularly 'Notes from a Small Island.’

However, they are more interesting and in some cases mysterious than all the usual, classic sites. With slides and video clips Diz transports the audience on an adventure, back through time, to discover the rich hidden history of this ancient region and, in addition, weaves into her talk amusing anecdotes of her journey as a writer and actress.
Gorgeous behind-the-scenes photos and video clips illustrate the film locations for almost all of the interior scenes in Downton Abbey - Highclere Castle in the English countryside. This talk, by British-born author and actress Diz White is of interest, not only to Downton Abbey fans but to all history buffs who wish to learn about English Castles. Diz explores Highclere Castle's history going back to its very beginnings in the 12th Century, and moving on to the fascinating story of the castle's owner in Victorian times, the 5th Earl of Carnarvon who discovered the tomb of Tutankhamen with Howard Carter. Diz continues right up to the castle's present day use as a location for the Downton Abbey television series. The history of Highclere is more like an adventure story with its fascinating twists and exciting turns and features rare photos of the castle's interior that are not generally available.

Diz invites her audience to armchair travel her with her on her hilarious roller-coaster adventure as she scrambles between Hollywood taking every showbiz job available, no matter how amusingly inappropriate, and the Cotswolds searching for a bargain and meeting numerous eccentric country characters along the way. Her husband's gorgeous colour slides and video clips make this a trip to remember especially after Diz encounters some cliff-hanging twists that finally lead to the satisfaction of a hard won prize.
