Donna Smith

Playboy Playmate of The Month for March 1985

Donna Smith Bio

Donna Smith is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on March 15, 1960, in Portland, Oregon. Playboy named her its March 1985 Playmate at 24. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.

Smith has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 37-24-35.

Donna Smith arrived at the pages of Playboy with a family pedigree of glossy ambition: her sister is Penthouse Pet Natalie Smith, and the two sisters later shared a magazine cover and a joint pictorial—an unusual crossover that let Donna stand beside an already public sibling while staking out her own image.

Her early life reads like an apprenticeship in reinvention. She left home at 14 and made her way to Japan with a forged identity, learning the language and earning her keep by modeling by day and waiting tables by night. Those years abroad supplied an uncommon preparation for a model: cultural fluency, endurance, and the kind of street-smarts that work better on a set than in a press release.

Back in the United States she translated that experience into a steady run of magazine work beyond the centerfold. Donna appears in several Playboy special-edition publications and was featured in four of the brand’s video releases, moving between still photography and filmed performance without losing the immediacy that editors and photographers sought.

She also crossed briefly into narrative film, credited as the dancing woman in the indie drama Julien Donkey-Boy, a small turn that suggested interest in roles beyond posing. The arc of those choices—from foreign hotels and cocktail bars to glossy shoots and a screen cameo—keeps her Playboy story less like a single image than like a sequence of deliberate shifts, each one adding a new frame to an adaptable, workmanlike career.
