Donna W. Scott, a native of North Carolina, attended the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro where she majored in dance and
communication. At a young age, Donna began competing in beauty
pageants, accumulating numerous titles and made her state proud when
she was crowned Miss North Carolina, USA. At the same time, she became
a favorite of advertising agencies and did numerous television
commercials, making her film debut at 18 in Rich Hall's Vanishing America (1986).
Moving to New York, Donna became a successful model and studied acting at HB Studios. Her life changed when she landed a role in the blockbuster film Jours de tonnerre (1990) starring Tom Cruise and Robert Duvall. She later married the director, Tony Scott.
Donna's versatility as an actor is apparent with diverse roles in MGM's Get Shorty (Stars et truands) (1995), Dark Breed (1996), a comedic turn in Austin Powers (1997), Ennemi d'État (1998), La Main qui tue (1999), the Indy film Beat Boys Beat Girls (2003), the action-thriller Domino (2005), and the upcoming Disney film Déjà vu (2006).
On television, Donna had recurring roles as "Tamara Van Zant" on Nash Bridges (1996) and "Lieutenant Grace" on Spécial O.P.S. Force (1997). Television guest starring roles include Les Experts (2000), Tracey Takes On... (1996) and Washington Police (2000). Currently, she can be seen in The N's new teen-oriented drama South of Nowhere (2005).
Donna works tirelessly for several charitable organizations and was delighted to lend her support to Sojourn Services for Battered Women and Break the Cycle by appearing in VDAY West LA's benefit production of Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues.
Donna's greatest joy is being a mom to twin 6-year-old boys Max and Frank.
