Part of Lifetime’s heretofore successful efforts to grow their demographic, “Diva” chronicles the life of fashion model Deb, who becomes trapped inside the body of the plus-sized Jane. Levering comes from a lifetime of performance and makes drawing sympathy look easy even while playing antagonist to Jane, creating an effective push and pull for her audience. The natural blonde dishes to Icon about her show’s moral base, her own self image and what may be in store come the September 25th “Diva” season finale.
