- In all her roles, ranging from "Truck Stop Women", "The First Nudie Musical", "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie", "Tom Waits for No One", and others, as opposed to auditioning for these parts like other actresses, Donna was always sought-out because of her background as a dancer.
- Body model for the sexy cartoon dancing girl in Tom Waits 1979 animated video for "The One That Got Away".
- Ex-wife of Ted Bessell.
- She is the only character of all the strippers in "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" to have a last name. Her character's full name is "Margo Donnar". The reason director John Cassavetes made her last name "Donnar" (which, when spoken, sounds like her real first name, Donna) is because in one scene Ben Gazzara refers to "Margo" as "Donna".
- Best remembered by John Cassavetes fans as the feisty and opinionated redheaded dancer, Margo, in Cassavetes's arguably best feature, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie.
