Donna Morrell Gafford was born in California but Texas bound as quickly as possible. She met her husband of 42 years at this time and have raised 3 successful adults and 3 grandchildren in their hometown, Snyder, Texas. Growing up as a rabid tv and movie fan, Donna thought every child wanted to be an actress. Not realizing that acting was a possibility in life, she became a nurse but realized that nursing wasn't her calling. Becoming a hairdresser for the next 10 years was satisfying but still not her life's calling. After starting a family, Donna was introduced to a research and development company that changed her family's lives.Success in this new health and wellness venture allowed time and financial freedom which included travel and familial pursuits. 14 years later, after turning 60, Donna still had that burning desire to act. The moral of her life story is this: it's NEVER too late to pursue your dreams. The same drive that made her a successful small business woman, Donna used to pursue acting.Finding a coach, auditioning for short films, having an agent, has thrust Donna to a comfortable start in acting. Living in rural West Texas has been her biggest challenge. The road to Austin and Dallas has stayed hot with her travel. The most exciting aspect of this wonderful venture, is that "life truly is like a box of chocolates"! Eat all the different kinds of candy, to see what's in them. Pursuing this crazy acting life has been a grand adventure. Such a wonderful adventure! Show less «
