Diane Amos: Lesbian Mother

Diane Amos grew up as the daughter of two lesbians, but to hear her tell it this was a mighty fine way to grow up. And as an actress best known as TV's Pine Sol lady, though you may not know her by name, she has certainly wound up in the right track.

She has been appearing in their commercials for many years now. But she has also had a long career in show business outside of those ads, including being a standup comic and even a stage show named "Balancing Act" that she performs for packed audiences in San Francisco.

Amos says of her mother, "When I was 10 years old, we went to a Marian Anderson concert. My mom wanted to meet her, so we went backstage past all these doors that said 'No entrance,' 'No entrance,' 'No entrance,' and finally got to her dressing room. The bodyguard said, 'No, you cannot come in,' but Marian Anderson saw us. She was so amazed we got that far she invited us in, and we sat in her dressing room and talked for a while."
