Latin Times : Who is your role model ? Diana Laura : My role Model is Sophia Loren . I consider her an amazing actress and the epitome of sexiness . She is stylish , elegant , classy and sophisticated . She is so respected in the industry , she is a true lady ! But my biggest role model is any strong woman and life itself . I grew up in a very lonely household with just a mother and no family other than her so I was always admiring actresses , models , politicians and it was my escape . I believe women can do anything they want . We are strong and we can do it all ! What better inspiration than that ?
