Bonnie Jones(I)

Bonnie spent 10 years in NYC working as a professional dancer, model, and actress. She studied with Wynn Handman and Lee Strasberg, worked in little theater around NYC, and appeared as Sondi in the Broadway show, "Once For The Asking." Moving to Hollywood she appeared in television, but stopped acting around 1974. Her last appearances were in M*A*S*H, produced by her husband, former kid actor turned director-producer, Gene Reynolds. Rather than acting, Bonnie applied herself to writing. Her books were written under the name Bonnie Jones Reynolds. After her divorce from Gene Reynolds in 1976, Bonnie returned home to the family farm in Clinton, New York. There, in 1991, she founded an animal and nature sanctuary, Spring Farm CARES. Fundraising for Spring Farm CARES, over a 10-year period, Bonnie directed some 20 plays and shows, including those that starred old Hollywood friends Werner Klemperer, Bill Christopher, and Robert Donner. She also produced and directed a brief run of "St. Hugo of Central Park" off-Broadway in NYC. Bonnie continues as President and Executive Director of Spring Farm CARES, and of late has involved herself heavily in fighting the introduction of hydrofracking into NY State. A tabloid newspaper, The Flowback, is written and published by Bonnie.
