Although painfully shy as a child, Diora began her career in show business in Miami, Florida when she was just a few months old doing campaigns for Osh Kosh and Kmart.  By the time she was ten, her mother, in an effort to help her overcome the shyness, pushed her into theater. By high school, she had fallen in love with the trade and packed her bags for Los Angeles. 

While taking classes with the prestigious comedy troupe The Groundlings, Baird performed her obligatory out-of-work actor jobs, from catering, washing dishes, being a clown at children’s parties, and working construction. It was on one of the construction jobs, however, where she was discovered by her now-manager, and her world soon changed. Baird was selected to model for a Guess® campaign, from which the pictures can currently be seen on billboards and buses throughout the United States.

Baird beguilingly taunted audiences in her first studio feature appearance, New Line Cinema’s Wedding Crashers, in which she had a small cameo as one of Owen Wilson’s conquests in an opening sequence of the film. She then appeared on several episodes of UPN’s “South Beach” produced by Jennifer Lopez.

Baird can currently be seen in seen in the teen comedy Accepted, opposite Justin Long, Jonah Hill, and Blake Lively. She will next be seen in the ABC comedy “Big Day” in a recurring role opposite Marla Sokoloff and Wendie Malick. The series, chronicling the chaotic and hectic nature of wedding day events in a “24”-esque 1 hour = 1episode fashion, will debut later this year. Baird is also a voice of one of the Femme Fatales in the Scarface videogame, based on the famed Al Pacino feature, which is being released by Vivendi/Universal this October.

Baird’s previous film credits include Fifty Pills with Kristen Bell and the independent Hot Tamale with Carmen Electra and Jason Priestly that recently won the award for “Best Narrative Feature” at the Boston International Film Festival.

Filmography: 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, Accepted (2006), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Wedding Crashers,
