Diahnne Abbott in 1984. 
Diahnne Abbott (born January 1, 1945), sometimes credited as Diahnne Eugenia Abbott or Diahnne Déa, is an American actress and singer. Abbott played supporting roles in films of the 1970s and 1980s, including Taxi Driver. Abbott was married to actor Robert De Niro. They had a son together, Raphael, named after the hotel in Rome where he was conceived, and De Niro adopted Drena, Abbott's daughter from a previous marriage. (Drena De Niro has appeared in her father's movies Showtime, Wag the Dog and City by the Sea.) De Niro and Abbott divorced in 1988.
Abbott has a cameo in the film New York, New York, in which she sings Fats Waller's classic torch song, "Honeysuckle Rose".
She also played the object of Robert De Niro's affections in Scorsese's 1983 film, The King of Comedy, as well as roles in the television series Crime Story (character of Sonia) and the film Jo, Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling (Mother). She is the cousin of singer Gregory Abbott, known for his 1986 song "Shake You Down". She is also Greogory Abbott's cousin he's the fine sexy singer back in the day who sang Shake You Down.

I'm not sure, probably is but keeps a very low profile. Her cousin in my opinion, kind of fell into the "one hit wonder" category.

He's fine I did a piece on him at the old site and I since added him on the Favorite Old School Photo page he was looked at more times then most artist I put there. He has his own web site as well and he did manage to save his money he's a smart business man.
Check out his site Bev. www.gregoryabbott.com/
