Hello Dianna Nation! Dianna starts her two-week long Café Carlyle Residency tonight (her third time at the legendary Manhattan nightclub), and for that occasion she did a great new interview with Broadway World. This interview gave us so much new and exciting information! For starters, Dianna will start shooting a new film right after her time at Café Carlyle. According to her, this is a psychological horror film that will began shooting next month in Austin.

Stay tuned for updates this coming week, as we will of course share any photos, videos or interviews related to Café Carlyle!

When Dianna Agron takes the stage at the Cafe Carlyle tomorrow night, it will be her third time to play the legendary Manhattan nightclub. A singing actress for almost as long as she has been a hotel-dweller, the innovative artist takes great pride and much joy in being a part of the re-opening of the nightclub where played such important artists as Barbara Cook, Elaine Stritch, and Bobby Short. Always taking great care to curate music for her shows that will create a musical experience for her devoted audiences, Ms. Agron has spent the last month meticulously lining up compositions that will give the people sitting in the seats out front that which she feels is most valuable at this time: joy.

Before taking those exciting first steps onto the stage tomorrow night, Dianna Agron took out a few minutes to take a call today from Broadway World Cabaret to discuss the importance of indie film making, the experience of watching New York City come back to life after the lockdown, and why her choice of music right now is songs that she took no part in creating.

We have the first official trailer for Dianna’s upcoming film As They Made Us! You can check it out below, along with an article about the film by USA Today. It looks really good, and thankfully we only have to wait another month before we can see it!

I have also updated our gallery with the first official still, promotional photo, film poster and several behind the scenes photos – big thanks to all our incredible followers on twitter who donated pics to us! And thanks once again to our friend Mike for some great enhancing work on several of the pics.

Mayim Bialik had no intention of directing a movie.

The “Big Bang Theory” star and “Jeopardy!” host began writing as a therapeutic exercise after her father, Barry, died in 2015. Seven years later, the result is “As They Made Us” (in theaters and on demand April 8), a mordantly funny family drama starring Dianna Agron (“Shiva Baby”) and two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman. The movie’s trailer is premiering exclusively on usatoday.com.

“I consider the whole thing this wonderful accident,” Bialik says. “There’s a very specific year of mourning that we do in traditional Judaism. After that year, I felt an urge that I’ve never felt before to start putting down in writing a lot of my experiences and memories of grief. And literally, I ended up with a screenplay. I’ve never written one before.”

“As They Made Us” follows the tightly wound Abigail (Agron), a newly divorced mother struggling to raise her two kids while looking after her father, Eugene (Hoffman), who suffers from a degenerative condition that makes it difficult for him to walk and move around. Even as Eugene’s mind and body fail, his wife, Barbara (Candice Bergen), remains firmly in denial, and lashes out at doctors and caregivers.

Bialik’s “Big Bang” co-star Simon Helberg plays Abigail’s estranged brother Nathan, whom she tries to reconnect with before their dad’s death. The film uses flashbacks to show how Eugene and Barbara’s tempestuous marriage, combined with Nathan’s teenage rebellion, led to the family’s present-day dysfunction.

Bialik, 46, shot “As They Made Us” in New Jersey last summer. She caught up with USA TODAY to chat about what inspired the movie, reuniting with Helberg and whether she’ll direct again. (Read the full interview with Mayim here)

What a weekend, Dianna nation! The 2022 Film Independent Spirit Awards were held in Santa Monica this Sunday (March 6, 2022), and it became a very succesful night for Dianna and her Shiva Baby team. The film won the John Cassavetes Award, an award given to the best feature made for under $500,000 (award is given to the writer, director, and producer of the film).

Dianna also presented the award for best editing, which confusingly seemed to be presented during a commercial break along with cinematography and best international film. If you want to read more about the controversial telecast decisions which elicited boos and confusion among the guests, Vanity Fair has a detailed piece over here. There you can also read about the other winners! For the fashion interested, Dianna wore a sparkly chocolate crop top and soaring stilettos, designed by Prada.

It’s a commercial break so everyone got up to mingle… and then, unexpectedly, Dianna Agron came out to present Best Editing during the break. (Very Oscars.) The winner is Joi McMillon for ZOLA (source)

There’s definitely not a lack of content from the night, as we have been blessed with almost 200 HQ photos from the event itself, a gorgeous portrait session and several videos! I have also made screen captures from all clips I could find, and added those to our gallery as well. You can find all the new video clips in our video archive, big thanks to our friend fellintodianna for the one of Dianna presenting (FYI – the red carpet video page contains two separate clips.)

No videos found.

I have sorted the photos into different albums for easier viewing, and you can find all the links below the previews. If you’d rather simply browse all new additions, the event/photoshoot pics starts from this page and the screen captures from here. In total there’s more than 700 new photos and screen caps added, and I hope to have even more in the coming days!

After almost a year, we finally have a new Dianna event! Utopia hosted a private celebration to celebrate Shiva Baby’s Spirit Award nominations last night, and Dianna attended the party with her co-stars. They all looked incredible! Unfortunately we only have 4 high quality photos from the event so far (please let us know if you come across any!), but Julian Ungano has blessed us with several photoshoot-like behind the scenes shots from the day.

I know I promised last year not to make a habit of adding behind-the-scenes pics to our photoshoot section, but these are once again way too stunning not to be added… And thanks to our amazing friend Mike, we also have a colorized version of one of the photos which he kindly edited and shared with us! You can find links to all the beautiful new photos below. Enjoy, Dianna nation!

I just came online to some exciting news, Dianna fans! Quiver has acquired Dianna’s upcoming film ‘As They Made Us‘ (originally ‘As Sick as They Made Us’), and it is set for release in theaters and on VOD on April 8. That means we get Dianna back on our big screens in just two months – make sure to save the date! You can read the Deadline exclusive below.

DEADLINE EXCLUSIVE: Quiver Distribution has acquired Mayim Bialik’s feature directorial debut As They Made Us, starring Diana Agron (Shiva Baby, Glee), Simon Helberg (Annette, The Big Bang Theory), Oscar nominee Candice Bergen (Let Them All Talk, Starting Over) and two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman (The Meyerowitz Stories, Rain Main), slating it for release in theaters and on VOD on April 8.

The dysfunctional family dramedy written and directed by the former Big Bang Theory star follows Abigail (Agron), a divorced mother of two, who is struggling to balance the dynamic forces within her dysfunctional family as she attempts to cultivate new love.

Justin Chu Cary (Blindspotting, Black Summer), Charlie Weber (After We Collided, How to Get Away with Murder) and Bialik’s Call Me Kat co-star Julian Gant round out the cast. Yale Productions’ Jordan Beckerman and Jordan Yale Levine produced with Anne Clements, Michael Day, Mark Maxey and the late Ash Christian, with Quiver Distribution Co-Presidents Berry Meyerowitz and Jeff Sackman exec producing. BondIt Media Capital served as the film’s financier, with Matthew Helderman and Luke Taylor exec producing for the company.

“We are thrilled to be able to share Mayim’s feature film debut with audiences,” said Meyerowitz and Sackman in a joint statement. “With a stellar cast in an intelligent and funny film, this relatable family story and Mayim’s touching script will surely hit home with viewers across many generations.”

“As a first-time director, it is nothing short of a dream to write for and direct a cast this accomplished, passionate, and intellectually committed to this film,” added Bialik. “As They Made Us is about a family’s tumultuous and hilarious journey from chaos to serenity. Making one’s first film is also that journey.”

Quiver Distribution is a film production, acquisition and distribution company founded by Meyerowitz and Sackman that recently acquired Kew Media Distribution’s library of 700 titles. It produced and this year will release Walter Hill’s Western Dead for a Dollar with Christoph Waltz, Willem Dafoe, and Rachel Brosnahan, and Neil LaBute’s Out of the Blue, with Diane Kruger, Ray Nicholson, Hank Azaria and Chase Sui Wonders.

Lawrence Greenberg negotiated the As They Made Us deal on behalf of Quiver, with Film Mode Entertainment’s Clay Epstein on behalf of the filmmakers.

Oh, how I’ve been dying to make this post – but finally, welcome back Dianna fans! Those of you who follow us on our twitter knows we were hacked again a while back, and I unfortunately lost huge parts of the website (our press archive, our video archives, quite a lot of graphics and all our layouts). I’ve finally managed to build back most, and re-coded our theme! I went for a dark look this time, which I hope you won’t mind. We’re still using the beautiful header my friend Nicole made us last year until Dianna does a new photoshoot, but everything else is different! I’ve also done a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure we won’t get hacked again. Please let me know if you come across any errors!

To make up for the downtime, I’ve uploaded some gorgeous outtakes to our gallery! These are exclusive to Dianna Agron Heaven, so please do not re-publish them elsewhere without a credit back to us. I absolutely love these, it’s always been one of my favorite Dianna looks. Our most dedicated visitors will probably notice that it’s the look she wore on the Dior Poison Girl launch in New York back in 2017, and the portraits were taken sometime during/before/following the event. Enjoy!
