Diane Washburn (born May 10, 1932) is a former fashion model for Rose Marie Reid, Roos Brothers and Lily Ann (among others) as well as appearing in ads for Chevrolet and taking the cover of Life Magazine in 1953. Most notable as California's 1953 National Vintage Queen, Washburn is also the wife of late Broadway actor Jack Washburn. Early life Diane was born in San Francisco, California, and grew up in Marin County where she was the daughter of famed Marin County District Attorney A.E. Bagshaw and Audrey Van Tassel. She attended Dominican Convent under the Sisters of San Rafael for her elementary education followed by Marin Junior College where she obtained her degree in Interior Design. She also was a member of the prestigious Ballet School of Marin County. Diane's father, Albert E. Bagshaw was best known for the role he played in the 1935 San Quentin State Prison breakout where "four inmates, convicted killers and kidnappers, headed up to the house of Warden James B. Holohan. There Holohan was savagely beaten and knocked unconscious by one Rudolph Straight for tying to call for help. The warden had been lunching with staff and parole board members, and the convicts with four .45 caliber pistols ordered the members of the board to take off their clothes. Dressed as civilians the men then kidnapped the board and two guards in a big Studebaker, and headed up ten miles past San Rafael. In his book The San Quentin Story, which in 1937 would become a film starring Humphrey Bogart, Clinton T. Duffy, assistant to Warden Holohan and future San Quentin Warden, describes the event. ‘Indeed, every road in a fifty mile radius was soon swarming with police cars, and it seemed inevitable that someone would be killed,’ recants Duffy. One of the criminals, Alexander MacKay, ‘turned sharply off the road, but he couldn’t control the car and it plowed into a ditch.’ The escapees then ‘scrambled for grass cover, and…took refuge inside a barn just as the first of the pursuing posses arrived.’ MacKay and the others ‘dropped their weapons and prepared to surrender, but Straight was beyond all reason. He strutted out of the barn with a gun in each hand, and was shot through the head by District Attorney Albert Bagshaw of San Rafael.'"--The San Quentin Story, Clinton T.
