Diana Giddings was played by regular extra and [[stand-in]] [[Lorine Mendell]]. She was seen in many TNG episodes, in the [[TNG Season 1|first season]] usually wearing the skant uniform style and working in Engineering. Her name was never spoken in dialog (the script of {{TNG|The Outrageous Okona}} calls her "A well-endowed female crewmember"; in the script of {{TNG|Power Play}} she is called a "supernumerary"), but it was barely legible on her door sign. The ''[[Star Trek Encyclopedia]]'' gives her name as 'Dianna Giddings' but the sign on her door reads more like 'Diana'.

Appendices

Background information

Door label, Diana Giddings

The label on Giddings' door, from where the character is named

Diana Giddings was played by regular background actress and stand-in Lorine Mendell.

She was seen in many TNG episodes, in the first season usually wearing the skant uniform style and working in engineering. Her name was never spoken in dialogue – the script of "The Outrageous Okona" calls her "A well-endowed female crewmember"; in the script of "Power Play" she is called a "supernumerary" – but is given on her door sign in the former of those episodes. The Star Trek Encyclopedia incorrectly spells her name as "Dianna Giddings".
