Fiona was an actress and costume designer known for her works on Descenso del pias de la noche (1974), Ensayos (1978) and The Ray Bradbury Theatre (1985). The Mexican actor never got to really know his mother in person as she died in 1982 after a traffic collision that claimed her life when her son was only two. It is said that it was Fiona who made sure her son would be immersed in the film industry but after she passed; her husband further reinforced the importance of theatre and arts in Diego’s life.
Despite losing his mother at such a young age, Diego claims he felt close to her while he was growing up. He says he used to talk to her at night from his dreams, he knew what she looked like. The Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (2004) actor further attributed some of these experiences to his love for Star Wars as a kid, the movie franchise made him believe in the supernatural force and according to him, it made him close to his late mother.
