Donna developed early, physically: "Even the other girls in high school would stare at me in the locker room. I was called Jugs." Her mother was also full-breasted: "Dad was always trying to get me to pose for Playboy," Donna told her magazine interviewer. "She never did, so he suggested I try. and I made it!" Donna surprised her Playboy photographers by admitting, shyly, that she lacked sexual experience. She was immediately dubbed "the virgin Playmate." 

When she posed for Playboy, Donna was a real-estate agent. Now married and the mother of a son and daughter, both preschoolers, she has a part-time job doing financial spreadsheets for a cellular telephone company; as soon as her children are older, she hopes to return to her university to complete work on a degree in finance.
