Diana Laura Noris has made a name for herself by mastering a diverse set of skills. Actress, artist, model, spokesperson, author, columnist, animal activist, advocate: these are just a few of this Puerto Rican beauty’s many talents. Reporter Denise Smith from Most Fashion Magazine spoke with the Renaissance woman about her love of animals, life’s art in Miami, and making her colorful mark with vigor.

 

Experiencing the best of both worlds, Diana Laura considers Puerto Rico and Argentina home. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, her mother’s family lives in Mendoza, Argentina, from where this starlet’s culture and essence stem. Shortly after turning down an offer from the Mendoza National Ballet, she began work on the Spanish soap opera, Tiempo de Vivir.  The schedule proved exhausting for the budding young actress. She worked long hours and missed a great deal of school. Her time on the popular soap opera, with its repetitive scenes and long days, would ultimately become an amazing learning experience. Diana attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. She also attended The Stella Adler Acting Studio where she acquired the tools to become a better actress. Learning alongside people who are extremely talented can be difficult and intimidating but Diana soon thrived. After landing several modeling jobs, Diana Laura’s life would drastically change direction. At the age of 22, Diana Laura picked up everything and moved to Miami Florida with about two hundred dollars in her pocket. Although the transition was difficult, she says she would not have had it any other way. Other missing the Puerto Rican food, the actress is very happy living and thriving in Miami Florida. When we spoke to the seasoned actress about her thoughts on the audition process she was brutally honest. Auditioning, however tedious, is the bread and butter for an actor. “Sometimes you can suck, sometimes you feel like Meryl Streep.” She goes on to say, “The more you audition, the better you get, and if you can’t deal with rejection this is not the career for you.”

 

Don Juan Ponce de Leon: The True Discovery of Florida, currently in pre-production, is a project near and dear to the Latin-born Diana. Featuring an important ancestor to her culture, this documentary will detail the arrival of Ponce de Leon to the Floridian beaches through the coast of Melbourne Florida.

When mentioning her precious cats, Hefner, Delilah, and Alexander Petrovsky, the animal lover laughs, “I adore animals more than humans.” When this lovable Latina finds time to relax, she likes to hit the gym. “Two hours of cardio and 30 minutes of weights, usually six days a week.” Her love for the beach has her frequenting the picturesque Miami shoreline.
