Donna was one of television's best-dressed women in the late '50s/early
'60s during her 8-year tenure on the small screen. She was class and
female dignity personified, whether she was wearing an everday housedress
or all dolled up in a sparking evening gown. Even when she replaced
Barbara Bel Geddes on Dallas nearly two decades later, Donna
still possessed a keen fashion sense, and made the character more
glamorous, (no offense to Barbara's fans) though she will never be
thought of as the definitive "Miss Ellie." Below is a cut-out
doll from one of the Donna Reed paper doll books in my
collection.

You may have to wait a few moments until Donna decides on the perfect
ensemble.
