A Faulkner novel would provide little fodder for the legend that is Dianne Cage, homemaker, wife, television personality, columnist. The stories about her exploits are known from Wisner to Winnfield, and there are few anywhere in northern Louisiana who haven’t at least heard the name. Just ask, and you’ll immediately hear myths before truth.
Larger than life, thanks in part to 30 years on KNOE-TV, she’s used to gossip and tall tales. To her credit, Dianne shrugs when it comes to the numerous stories and when she’s pressed to tell “the true story.”
“How can you tell something that didn’t happen?” she told BayouLife. “Like Chuck Ryan says, ‘No one knows for sure but you.’”
But you already know the public stories–even if you don’t. The real story, the true story, is more moving, more emotional and more powerful than anything you think you know.
