The first reaction of many people when they saw this sentence was that Diane was talking about Alicia. But thinking about it, I don't think so.
Diane and Alicia have worked together for many years. Diane has always recognized Alicia’s ability and character. During the process of cooperation, they have become more and more sympathetic to each other. I don't think Diane ever considered Alicia a saint, she's always seen clearly the strengths and weaknesses of Alicia. In fact, I don't think any of the people around Alicia who have a deep understanding of her in the play really think that A is a saint. Most of them are ridiculed. This person A has her own arrogance and perseverance, as well as her own struggles and weaknesses.
Conversely, do you remember the appearance in previous seasons of a Nobel Peace Prize-winning liberal leader who was privately a repeat offender of sexual harassment; Diane's father, a well-respected justice, had been in the McCarthy era. Secretly inform, report that friends are communist. These are all role models that Diane really admires and respects from the bottom of their hearts, but they are torn apart by time and reality. How big is this blow to Diane? The former is what Will calls "Diane has no heroes"—Diane doesn't believe in heroes anymore; the latter, as everyone remembers, was how vulnerable Diane was in front of Kurt.
I'm not a roundworm in the screenwriter's stomach, and I'm not sure who this sentence refers to. Maybe it really means Alicia. But at least in my opinion, it is obvious that the latter category of people above is more suitable.
