Donna Rusch

Donna Rusch was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Her first memory of wanting to be an actress was watching Mary Ann after school in reruns of Gilligan's Island (1964). She took her first acting class in middle school and while attending South Houston High School, split her time between cheerleading and starring in plays such as "Wait Until Dark", "A Company of Wayward Saints", "MacBeth and "Little Women". Donna graduated from the University of Houston with her Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio/TV/Film. She landed a job as a part-time Desk Assistant at the country's #1 All-News Radio Station, KTRH-740 AM, Houston. She quickly rose to become a Reporter, earning numerous local and statewide awards including "Best News Series in Texas" from UPI. After 3 years, Donna went to the smaller city of Beaumont, Texas to prime her television reporting skills. Soon she became the city's first female solo 10'clock weeknight News Anchor. But after nearly 4 years, her love of acting won out. Donna mov
