Donna Reed Trivia
|
- The woman on the cover of Rush's 'Permanent Waves' album is modeled after her.
- In the scene from "It's a Wonderful Life" where she and James Stewart throw rocks at the old Granville house, director Frank Capra had originally planned to use a double in Donna's place to throw the rock. Miss Reed, however, was an accomplished baseball player in high school and threw very well, as evidenced by her toss in the movie.
- Despite her association with the squeaky-clean and conservative 1950s, Reed became an anti-nuclear activist and anti-Vietnam protester. She also founded the group Another Mother for Peace.
- Children: Penny, Tony, Timothy, and Mary.
- Learned of her firing from "Dallas" from a reporter while on a vacation to Paris. She was in the process of suing the shows producers before her death in January, 1986.
