Donna, a true New York dame with a touch of old Hollywood glamour, was born and raised in New Jersey, yet embodies the essence of the city that never sleeps. Her affection for classic Hollywood films is rivaled only by her passion for The Special Olympics and a good foundation garment. She longs for the nostalgic era of rotary phones and the simple pleasure of not wearing white shoes after Labor Day.
Donna's journey in the entertainment industry began with summer stock, stand-up comedy, and USO shows in Germany and Italy, eventually transitioning to television and film.
With a certain je ne sais quoi, Donna embodies the archetype of a woman of a certain age: the esteemed Senator, the respected Judge, the accomplished CEO, the affluent matriarch with rebellious offspring, or the loyal assistant to a geriatric billionaire. Her on-screen presence is reminiscent of Eve Arden's Ida from the classic film "Mildred Pierce," starring the incomparable Joan Crawford.
On-screen, Donna has appeared in notable roles in "Girls" (2015),"Gotham" (2016),and "Law & Order: SVU" (2018). In her imagination, she is transported to a 1930s movie starring the dashing Clark Gable, accompanied by the iconic roar of the MGM lion.
