Donna D'Errico Bio
Donna D’Errico is an American Playboy model, glamour model, and actress. She was born Donna Jeanette D’Errico on March 30, 1968, in Dothan, Alabama, United States. Her zodiac sign is Aries.
Donna D’Errico was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for September 1995. She was 27 when her pictorial, photographed by Richard Fegley, introduced her polished blond beauty and confident presence to a national audience. Her measurements were listed as 34-22-34, with blue eyes and blond hair.
Raised in Columbus, Georgia, Donna described her childhood as deeply sheltered. She spent 12 years in Catholic school, regularly attended church, and remained close to her parents and older sister Mary. Although she felt like an “ugly duckling” as a teenager, she had already developed an interest in acting through school plays and local lessons.
Before moving to Nevada, Donna managed a jewelry store in Columbus. In Las Vegas, she established her own limousine company and occasionally drove the company’s black stretch Lincoln Town Car herself. The work produced some memorable stories: couples sometimes became intimate behind the partition, while other passengers offered unusually generous tips.
Her route to Playboy began unexpectedly in a grocery store, where a talent scout approached her and suggested that she pose for the magazine. Donna initially dismissed the idea but later reconsidered. Her family supported the decision enthusiastically, and she travelled to Chicago for the shoot that would make her Miss September 1995.
Donna’s ambitions extended beyond modelling. She had wanted to become an actress since childhood, and her Playboy appearance quickly opened doors in television. After early appearances in series including Unhappily Ever After and Married… with Children, she joined the Baywatch franchise as Donna Marco. She appeared first in Baywatch Nights and then became a regular on Baywatch, playing the character from 1996 to 1998.
Her best-known film role came in the supernatural horror sequel Candyman: Day of the Dead in 1999. Donna played Caroline McKeever, an art-gallery owner whose family history connects her to the murderous legend of Candyman. She later appeared in productions including Intervention, Inconceivable, The Making of Plus One, and Frank and Penelope, while also working as a television host and appearing in reality and documentary programming.
Away from acting, Donna owned Zen Spa in Calabasas and became known for her animal-rights advocacy. She was married to Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx from 1996 until their divorce in 2007. She has two children, Rhyan D’Errico and Frankie Sixx.
Donna has also spoken openly about her Catholic faith and her long-standing fascination with the story of Noah’s Ark. In 2012, she travelled to Turkey and climbed Mount Ararat as part of an expedition searching for evidence connected to the biblical vessel. She suffered injuries during the climb but remained determined to continue investigating the subject.
From operating a Las Vegas limousine business to becoming a Playboy Playmate and one of the recognizable faces of Baywatch, Donna D’Errico built a career defined by independence, reinvention, and a persistent desire to pursue opportunities beyond modelling.
