Background

Dr. Diane Fairfax is a medical doctor and research liaison for the Foundation in Los Angeles, California.


During the events of X: The Man with X-Ray Eyes (1963) played by Diana Van der Vlis

Dr. James Xavier is showing Dr. Fairfax a series of x-rays and asking her what her diagnosis is. He tells her about wavelengths that the human eye doesn't see. He then explains his experiment is to sensitize the eye so it can see radiation. Dr. Fairfax tells him she is there to see the progress of his research, and he complains the Foundation he is getting his money from wouldn't understand his research. Dr. Xavier then takes Dr. Fairfax into his lab and drops a few eye drops into the eyes of a Capuchin monkey. They test the eyesight of the monkey, who is able to see through a cloth and three colored pieces of paper. Afterwards, the monkey screams out and then dies. They do an autopsy of the monkey and learn it died of shock. Later, Dr. Fairfax tells Dr. Xavier that she started working for the Foundation so she could support some of the more radical experiments. She asks what the purpose of his experiment is and he tells her so that doctors can see through their patients and give mnore accurate diagnosis. She then tells him that the Foundation wants him to report on his findings the next day. Dr. Fairfax and Dr. Sam Brant represent Dr. Xavier at the meeting of the Foundation and Dr. Brant tells them Dr. Xavier has been unconscious since the experiment he did to himself last night. He and Dr. Fairfax try to explain the importance of Dr. Xavier's work, but Mr. Bowhead cuts his funding. Later, Dr. Xavier goes outside and Dr. Fairfax takes him to a party. He flirts with Dr. Fairfax and then a former student of Dr. Xavier asks Dr. Fairfax to dance. Eventually Dr. Xavier leaves with Dr. Fairfax. Dr. Brant and Dr. Fairfax take Dr. Xavier to Dr. Brant's office and his eyes are tested again. Dr. Xavier and Dr. Brant argue about Dr. Xavier continuing his experiment and as Dr. Brant tries to use a sedative on him, Dr. Xavier pushes him out the window and Dr. Brant falls to his death. Dr. Xavier then runs away. Eventually Dr. Fairfax finds Dr. Xavier and tells him she took up her practice again and she found him from tracking him down when her patients came to her knowing their diseases. She convinces him to leave with her, but as they try to leave, Crane tells Dr. Xavier that he knows he is wanted for the murder of Dr. Brant and threatens to go to the police if he leaves. Dr. Xavier pushes Crane aside and Crane runs after him screaming murderer. Dr. Xavier and Dr. Fairfax drive to Las Vegas. They walk into a casino and Dr. Xavier wins some tokens at a slot machine. He then sits down and wins money in Blackjack. Eventually the Croupier comes over and tells Dr. Xavier the table is closed. After Dr. Xavier tells the other patrons what to play, Dr. Fairfax convinces Dr. Xavier to leave. As they are leaving, the Croupier and a security guard stop Dr. Xavier and as Dr. Xavier pulls away, his sun glasses fall off revealing his deformed eyes. Dr. Xavier runs off and steals a car. Dr. Fairfax and two police officers enter a Revival tent they followed Dr. Xavier to, and Dr. Xavier exclaims that he can see to the center of the Universe and at the center is an eye looking back at them. The Revival Preacher tells him he sees the Devil and the Revival Preacher tells him a hymn of Saint Matthew about plucking out the eye that offends you. Dr. Xavier then drops his head and plucks out his own eyes.
