Dona Speir Bio
Dona Speir is an American actress, glamour and nude model. Born Dona Linda Speir on February 7, 1964, in Norwalk, California, she has also been credited as Donna Hamilton. Playboy named her its March 1984 Playmate at 20. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.
Speir has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 37-24-35.
Speir became best known on screen as Donna Hamilton, the hard‑charging federal agent at the center of Andy Sidaris’ sun‑drenched action series. Over seven of Sidaris’ films she trafficked in paradisiacal shootouts and glossy stuntwork — titles that include Hard Ticket to Hawaii, Savage Beach, Picasso Trigger, Guns, Do or Die, Hard Hunted and Fit to Kill — performances that gave her a steady cult following among genre fans.
Before and alongside that run she worked steadily on television, turning up in guest parts on series such as Mike Hammer, Matt Houston, Knight Rider and Married… with Children. Those one‑off appearances kept her visible to mainstream audiences while the Sidaris pictures consolidated her persona as an action‑capable female lead.
Her screen presence also reaches beyond the beach‑bound action cycle. Speir appeared in indie fare like Click: The Calendar Girl Killer and took smaller roles in mainstream features including Dragnet, Mortuary Academy and Doin’ Time, maintaining an on‑camera presence through the late ’80s and into the ’90s.
In the 2000s she redirected her public life toward recovery work, becoming a motivational speaker, personal recovery coach and addiction interventionist with national credentials listed as NCRCI, NCRCII and NCIP. In 2019 she marked the 35th anniversary of her magazine feature with a media tour and the publication of a memoir, Naked Truth: The Fall and Rise of Dona Speir, tying together the two halves of a career that has ranged from genre cinema to hands‑on work with people in crisis.
