Donna was an honors graduate of Reseda High School who married as a teenager and studied theater arts in college. A classmate's father was a photographer who suggested she pose for Playboy. That exposure led to roles in movies (see credits below). The marriage, which had been shaky for some time, eventually ended and Donna moved to France, where she made more films and posed for "Lui" magazine. On her return to the U.S., she worked as a Playboy stylist and then started her own photography business. 

Since the early Seventies, Donna has lived in Northern California, where she shares 20 acres with "a caboodle of poodles, two horses, a cat and a lot of weeds" and intersperses product photography assignments with custom catering.
