Donna was raised in Lorton, Virginia, where her father owned the local nightclub, "Hillbilly Heaven." She was working as a model and attending college when she landed her
first regular role on TV's Bosom Buddies (1980). While filming Dr. Detroit (1983), she met and
married co-star Dan Aykroyd. She has since fluctuated between TV and film
work, frequently appearing with her husband.
