Yes, Donna Reed was very beautiful and so talented. I find myself getting up in the morning to watch "The Donna Reed Show" on MeTV. It is a great show...a classic.

I was born in Denison, lived in Vail. My entire family has loved Donna always. She's my favorite too. I have had the opportunity to be in touch with Patty Petersen and Wm Paul Petersen. They're both so Great and Kind Also. I will be in Denison Memorial Day as I get up there as much as I can. I always think of Donna Reed and what a Wonderful Woman she was.

Donna Reed Show Decades Binge, all this weekend on "DECADES" TV. She was so beautiful.

[@MetalForLife1970]

What a beauty! Stunning!

[@kitsch590]

Easily the most luminous movie star. I've probably seen It's a Wonderful life 50 plus times because of her and Jimmy Stewart.

Donna was one of those stars that just had IT. She was beautiful and sweet faced but also sharp and really talented. Those qualities are almost non existent with today's stars, at least a good amount of them. She was just watchable and people would watch a show or movie she was in just because she was in it. That rare quality of star that owns the camera and can get people to watch anything they're in just because of their presence she shared along with the likes of Jimmy Stewart, Denzel Washington, James Garner, Robert Urich, Betty White, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood, Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Cosby, Angela Lansbury and Sidney Poitier. That it factor is what makes someone a true star.

[@kitsch590]

@kendallrivers1119 my favorite scene was that improvised honeymoon. wow.

absolute beauty. stunning what a beautiful women

[@wolfie8748]

What a beauty , hard to find women like these today..

[@Celluloidwatcher]

One of my all-time favorite TV moms. Donna Reed and Father Knows Best's Jane Wyatt are my top two. They were beautiful, authoritative (when they had to be), and sweet. It's a pity that TV moms are not cut from that kind of cloth these days. While they didn't represent every mother in every way, at least they gave us impressions that was mostly favorable and extended our memories, not lessen them.

[@kendallrivers1119]

Don't forget Claire Huxtable who brought those qualities those two tv moms had to the 1980s and of course the iconic June Cleaver.

[@tanmaxwell4599]

She was a fighter - who had a pretty face you couldn't resist. R.I.P. Dee

[@MsFanmail]

Its a wonderful life the best movie ever made !

[@Jantv81]

Donna and myself have something in common. We were both born on farms, in the midwest, both of us strived to be the best. And high school could be challenging.

[@bonniebester606]

My Grandmas Cousin. My Gma grew up on a Farm in Iowa too but when the Depression hit hard instead of being sent to Hollywood...she was sent to be a live-in-maid at 8! Sad even though they taught her a lot and were kind. She was very Pretty and very Perfectionistic too!

[@BrianandChristine1210]

That's a really neat thing for you to have a famous relative.

[@bonniebester606]

@@BrianandChristine1210 thank you...

[@janderson2000]

Absolutely. The definition of dream girl.

[@berlinsaintclair9100]

Sooooo beautiful! I just LOVED watching her show in syndication as a little girl. I can't believe Mickey Rooney had her *facepalm*

[@velveetaslingshot]

Absolutely gorgeous. Donna Reed in IAWL is my dream girl.

[@donaldleroy6502]

If I'd been a judge for that beauty contest I would have given her my vote, I'm sure there were other pretty girls but not of her caliber

[@duckduckgroose9517]

We need more women like her in this modern world

[@jeffreyallen9626]

I always loved this woman so classy so true to herself an honest and caring person everybodys mom and friend someone with traditional values that you could always believe in rip sweet angel!🙏❤🌹😘

[@kendallrivers1119]

One of the most iconic tv moms ever along with June Cleaver, Claire Huxtable, Margaret Anderson, Marion Cunnigham, Morticia Addams, Lily Munster and Florida Evans. She was also unbelievably beautiful and wholesome. Women in the modern age seem to lack that natural beauty, femininity and glamour alot of women back then just embodied.

[@lookingjust987654321]

She was the most genteel, amazing and beautiful western euro type woman, ever. (Sorry I'm part middle eastern and slightly prefer 'exotic' overall..)

[@robertbeacham6286]

Donna Reed was a beautiful lady !! Unfortunately , she died of Breast Cancer back in 1986 . She was 65 years old .

[@2IP1IS]

She's my "Somewhere In Time" girl: the one person I'd go back in time to be with.

[@mia.2857]

SHE WAS IN TOP 5 THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IN HOOLYWOOD.

[@bonniebester606]

My Nickname when l was young was Bonnie Belle ❤

[@undisclosed3863]

My Mom dated Donna's brother for awhile. Bill? Maybe? My Mom was from Harlan which is about 30 miles south of Denison. I'm not sure how they met but my Mom has a lot of fun telling the story of how she was at the Mullenger house one day when Donna was actually on the phone from Hollywood and talking to the family. She didn't talk to her but that was a big deal. This would have been in the 40's.

In 1970 I remember her calling M*A*S*H a cop out because it took place in Korea and not Viet Nam. Very strong opinions.
