The portrayal of a lesbian character going against conventional stereotypes in prime time television led to Alonso becoming a gay icon.

[2] As 7 Vidas was a show known for introducing current (mostly Spanish-related, but not exclusively) topics in a comedy key, the character of Diana dealt with issues such as same-sex marriage or adoption by same-sex couples (including a powerful speech in one episode against people who reject gay adoption).

[3] Another well-known role of Alonso is her successful portrayal of the fish Dory in the European Spanish-language version of the movie Finding Nemo,[4] for which she received rave reviews.
