- 2:44But it is, look, I'm not a gambling man, but if there was a line on this in
- 2:49Vegas, I'm willing to bet you have stories.
- 2:52We could probably do a podcast episode every day for the next year,
- 2:55and we probably couldn't get through all of the stories that you have from your
- 2:59storied historic career. Would I be wrong in saying that?
- 3:03Oh, no, I've been doing this quite a long time. So I do have a lot of stories,
- 3:11depending on what you want to talk about. We could probably write a biography.
- 3:16We'll have enough for a really good book, you think.
- 3:20Well, hopefully, you know, we'll do a script together.
- 3:23That'd be awesome. So listen, Donna, I was looking through all of your credits
- 3:27and look, we'll be here for days talking to,
- 3:30if we tried to talk about them all, but I just noticed there's a movie in here
- 3:34that is really close to the warm heart of my heart and that's My Science Project.
- 3:40Can you tell us what you remember about being in My Science Project?
- 3:43Well, actually, that was obviously in the early stages of my career,
- 3:51and I have a really small part in it.
- 3:54When I first started in the business, I did small parts in huge films.
- 4:00Right, sure, sure. So obviously, my science project is a huge film. Yeah.
- 4:05I remember I worked for numerous days on it, but I'm on screen for like a second,
- 4:15you know, playing a ghost. Right, right, right.
- 4:18But I had a great time. In those days,
- 4:23there were only the three television stations, and then I was in a lot of huge
- 4:31films, like I said, in small parts.
- 4:34But the sets were incredible, like Blade Runner or My Science Project.
- 4:41It was amazing because
- 4:44i was on set for
- 4:48new you know just for the small part for numerous days
- 4:51and it was it was really really
- 4:54exciting yeah incredible i
- 4:58can look i can only imagine we see we look at photos and we watch behind the
- 5:02scenes material but i can only imagine what it must have been like to stand
- 5:05on the blade runner set for argument's sake it's it must have been Was it as
- 5:11awe-inspiring as the photos and all the stuff that we've seen make out,
- 5:15or was it a completely different experience?
- 5:18No, it was completely awe-inspiring. Like my science project, it had an elaborate set,
- 5:26you know, and I played a ghost, but there were a bunch of, you know,
- 5:31a bunch of people who were around playing these different things like ghosts
- 5:36that disappear and all of that stuff. So that was exciting.
- 5:40I remember the set of Blade Runner the most because I worked on that for at least.
- 5:48Three weeks or a month they built a
- 5:51whole chinatown set at the
- 5:54studio and we worked nights and
- 5:57there was smoke going through and i mean
- 6:00it was a whole city that was built and so
- 6:03there were a million people there and that was
- 6:07that was just incredible and that was one of the first things
- 6:10that i did wow wow i
- 6:14remember being on set the day that
- 6:17daryl hannah stunt double did the
- 6:21you know the back oh right yeah yeah the back
- 6:24i mean you know just seeing the backwards flip was
- 6:27incredible but then doing this set it
- 6:30was just amazing i mean it was unbelievable
- 6:34being there really i felt so lucky wow and
- 6:37that's where you started that's where
- 6:40i started that's when you started right okay i kind
- 6:43of went like this it's like you know okay dawn what movie did you start off
- 6:48when you came oh blade runner you know it's a little movie you might have heard
- 6:51yeah 80s thing you know it was science fiction no one watches science fiction
- 6:57do they but yeah science fiction as you know.
- 7:01Yeah, well, it's absolutely incredible.
- 7:05Incredible. I just, the word incredible, when I think about you and I think
- 7:08about everything you've done, the word incredible just keeps popping into my
- 7:12head like a frog across a lily pad. It's, um.
- 7:16Well, in those days, I had dark hair, and so I was on every single television
- 7:24series that was like MacGyver or Bring Them Back Alive.
- 7:28But Magnum P.I. as well? Yeah, Magnum P.I.
- 7:31I played a snake dancer in that, but in the others, this was television,
- 7:38but I played a lot of prostitutes.
- 7:40You know, because they always had the Asian prostitutes and,
- 7:44you know, hanging around and, and, you know, doing things with the leads.
- 7:49So I did a lot of that and that was incredible too.
- 7:54Yeah. So you got to meet all the big names like Tom Selleck and,
- 7:59and all the, well, now to you with Tom, I didn't, I never met him.
- 8:07I got hired for this because they filmed in Hawaii, and snakes are out loud in Hawaii.
- 8:14We filmed snakes, so they have to do it here.
- 8:18And so I am a dancer, actually.
- 8:23And so I filmed with a snake, and the trainer was right off camera.
- 8:28And I did this whole dance with this huge snake, and I was really excited.
- 8:34I mean, you'll hear me say this so many times, but I thought that was my ticket to the big time.
- 8:41Okay, right. I mean, I thought that was going to make my career.
- 8:45I was really excited about it because it was a whole long dance with a snake.
- 8:50And then when I saw the show, I ended up being this huge billboard behind Magnum.
- 8:57He's sitting on the curb and I'm on this building.
- 9:00Oh, okay, wow. so my dance was cut but I mean.
- 9:05I stayed in it the girl stays in the picture yeah but it wasn't my dance and
- 9:11I wanted my dance to be in it well that was something you put all the effort
- 9:16into isn't it odd it's odd that,
- 9:19that seems to be a trend throughout an actor's
- 9:23life as you think that oh yeah this will
- 9:25be the role this will be the thing that will rocket me
- 9:28right up to the top of the mountain and you put all the heart and the effort
- 9:32in and it either gets cut or it gets changed or they you know or it just you
- 9:38know that's happened well you know we talked about my past and and they were
- 9:43really exciting huge films, and I had small parts in them.
- 9:47I did think that being Cleo the Snake Dancer was going to set my career on fire,
- 9:54but then I ended up with a poster.
- 9:57Then I went back and I got my MBA. I was the vice president of marketing and
- 10:03technology companies for a while.
- 10:06Then I came back and I started from the bottom.
- 10:11Things had completely changed when i came back
- 10:14there are all these indie films and you
- 10:17know the digital cameras anybody could be a filmmaker
- 10:20so i wanted to be on set as
- 10:23much as i could so i took everything when i was starting out again and i've
- 10:30been really really fortunate in maybe the last five years to have been involved
- 10:37in some really big projects that I'm proud of and,
- 10:44And I thought they were going to make my career.
- 10:47Right, right. And I think something just happened, you know?
- 10:50It's like with Bad President, with Eddie Griffin. Yes.
- 10:56I'm not one of the stars. It starred Eddie Griffin and Jeff Rector.
- 11:01But it's a great film. The director was Perum Gill.
- 11:05And I play one of Eddie's minions named Shame.
- 11:11And no, I'm Misery. And I got it through my great friend, Robert Amico.
- 11:17It's like he just called me up and he said, you know, I have a film with Eddie
- 11:21Griffin. And I'm going, oh my God, yeah, of course.
- 11:25So Robert played Shame, I played Misery, and Justin Shankarow,
- 11:31who's the one of Golden Globe, he was the voice of Arnold.
- 11:35I get them mixed up. I think it's Arnold in Hey Arnold.
- 11:41Anyway, he was one of the stars, the voiceover star, and he was a star in Picket Fences.
- 11:47So anyway, all three of us were Eddie's minions, and it was just a fantastic shoot.
- 11:53And the film is so funny. I hope that everyone will check it out.
- 11:58And we premiered at the Kong Film Festival. Wow.
- 12:04Stormy Daniels is in it, and Eddie is just fantastic. It was such—I think it was a two-week shoot.
- 12:12It was such a pleasure filming with him, and he's so talented.
- 12:17And he took the whole cast and crew to his show in Las Vegas.
- 12:22Awesome. It was fun filming. Yeah. But the movie—,
- 12:27if I don't say so myself, it's incredible. It's so hilarious,
- 12:31and it's built on facts even though Eddie plays the devil.
- 12:36The script was written by a journalist, and it followed Trump's first—the first
- 12:43time he ran for president.
- 12:45So there's some things, you know, it's obviously been—the The devil's been at it. Right.
- 12:53They took fat from what happened.
- 12:58So it's really what happened. Wow.
- 13:01And as I said, it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. But then COVID hit.
- 13:07It was supposed to go into AMC theaters.
- 13:10And it was supposed to be this huge film.
- 13:14And then, you know, once COVID hit, it's like there are no more films in theaters.
- 13:21You know, it just, it just kind of, I don't want to say died,
- 13:26but it didn't do what we all expected it to do.
- 13:29Right, right. It didn't get any momentum.
- 13:32Yeah, COVID lasted like two years. And so, but I do have to say it's coming
- 13:39back now. Awesome. It's like.
- 13:42I did this interview, like, I don't do very many interviews.
- 13:47You're like my second one in five years.
- 13:50I'm tremendously honored. But I did one at Damascus, like, a month ago,
- 13:54and he found that Bad President is top-zone streaming now. Oh, okay, wow.
- 14:01Yeah, so it's making a resurgence, so I'm really happy about that. It's great.
- 14:07Yeah, it's fantastic. It's always great to hear
- 14:09there were so many films that were derailed if you
- 14:12will because of covid so their releases have been staggered
- 14:17and films that were made you know three or
- 14:20four years ago are finally getting a chance to
- 14:23be appreciated because they were swept under the rug by you know all and sundry
- 14:27and it was yeah a sad strange time thank goodness hopefully we don't touch wood
- 14:35we don't have to get again you know yeah no i don't knock On wood, as they say.
- 14:41Yeah, and it was really a great film. I mean, it would, well,
- 14:45it's becoming a hit again, you know, thank goodness.
- 14:48And Parham saw that it's number one on streaming, so I saw a post that he made
- 14:55that there might be a bad president too. Wow.
- 14:59This is all speculation, but if there is, I hope that he brings me and Robert
- 15:05and, you know, Justin back. I
- 15:08mean, cause I would, I would just love to do that. That would be awesome.
- 15:12You spoke about, uh, when you re-entered the fray, the independent scene has
- 15:17definitely with the help of, of technology becoming so freewheeling.
- 15:22Do you agree that the, that independent cinema is, is on the verge of a revolution
- 15:27right now because of the easy access to technology and all those sorts of things?
- 15:32Well, when I came back, there was easy access, and this was like 10 years ago,
- 15:39because once they had the digital cameras, really, anybody could make a film.
- 15:45And so I started out doing films with people who are like eighth grade teachers.
- 15:52I mean, it's like when you go to
- 15:54the—I belong to Actor's Access and all of those. And this is 10 years ago.
- 16:01So there is something where they did casting in person.
- 16:05I forget the name of it because it's not, it doesn't exist anymore.
- 16:09But, you know, you don't, when you're trying out with these things,
- 16:13you don't really know the background of everybody.
- 16:17You just want to get the part. Right. Sure. Sure.
- 16:21And in those days I was desperate to get the part. Right.
- 16:24Yeah. So you're just, you're just focused on getting the role like so much about
- 16:28whether they were, whether they, whether they were fueled purely by passion
- 16:32or, or, or, you know, saddled experience was a different story.
- 16:37Yeah. You don't really know. And like, this is when I first came back after
- 16:43being in the technology section. So sure.
- 16:47I really didn't know anything about the industry. And so I'm lucky that I met a lot of great people.
- 16:55Jared Masters was a young filmmaker who put me in all of his films, and he was great.
- 17:01Dustin Forkerson put me in a lot of his films, and he was great.
- 17:06And so I did work with a lot of really good people.
- 17:11But that's because they kept using me when they found out that I could act.
- 17:15Because I have studied acting for years, you know, from the time. I mean.
- 17:22Yeah, I mean, you're no joke. Not only do you have the industry experience,
- 17:26but you can do Shakespeare and martial arts.
- 17:29Well, yeah, I started doing martial arts for filming, you know,
- 17:34because I wanted to do action films.
- 17:37There's a movie idea for you, Kung Fu Shakespeare. There you go.
- 17:41Well, that would be good. There you go. You can play like an action version of Juliet.
- 17:47Okay. All right.
- 17:50Well, you know, about five years ago, it became really important to me.
- 17:57I started thinking about my legacy, you know, which is why I was so honored
- 18:01to win the Living Legend Award, but I wanted to do good films.
- 18:06I really wanted to be remembered as a good actress Because when you've been
- 18:11in this field for so long, you know, and it's like, I think if you've seen my resume,
- 18:19I was in like over a hundred pageants.
- 18:22And I was really lucky to have placed or won all of them because you get really
- 18:29good once you start. I'm obviously very obsessive.
- 18:32So, you know, it's like I was very successful. Not at all.
- 18:37Yes. You know, after a while...
- 18:42It's the work that matters. I started studying at South Coast Rep with Matthew
- 18:48Arkin, who is Ellen Arkin's son.
- 18:52I've taken lessons my whole life. I started with Stanislavski.
- 18:58Then at South Coast Rep, it's playhouse. It's the number one playhouse on the West Coast.
- 19:07I learned the Uta Hagen method. And I had to learn, like, I learned Cat on a
- 19:14Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams.
- 19:17I did Macbeth. I did Lady Macbeth's monologue.
- 19:21And Carol Foreman helped me a lot with that. She's a Shakespeare teacher.
- 19:26But I started wanting to just, I mean, it's like, as you get older, you don't care about,
- 19:34the outside stuff anymore. I love awards, obviously, because I keep submitting
- 19:40my films, but I'm not a really social person.
- 19:46To me, it's always been the work. It's been the education, the work, all of that stuff.
- 19:54That's when I started doing Shakespeare.
- 19:58I'm really lucky to who have started working with Craig and Rena,
- 20:05and you know who they are.
- 20:07Yeah, Craig's the one. Craig Rills, yeah, Craig is, well, you interviewed Craig,
- 20:12so you know him. Craig is an American Airlines pilot.
- 20:15His uncle is Steve Rillsback. Yeah. And he lives a few streets over from me in Huntington Beach.
- 20:22Okay. And then my best friend is Dr.
- 20:26Rena Walsinger, and I met her years ago. I took her class at Golden West College,
- 20:33which is down the street.
- 20:34I took a Final Cut Pro class with her.
- 20:37And she lives just one street over.
- 20:40So, I mean, she just became my best friend. She is amazing.
- 20:46I mean, she's done so many things that, I mean, she puts me to shame.
- 20:52That's a tall order. That's a tall order, Donna.
- 20:56But she developed some device for the heart. Well, I mean, you know,
- 21:01I mean, she's, and now she teaches AI. Wow.
- 21:06And she's on the Grammy board. Wow. I mean, she's so humble.
- 21:10You wouldn't know all of this stuff. Yeah, yeah.
- 21:14I'm so lucky to be working with Craig and Rina. Oh. Because.
- 21:19Yeah, the job was an incredible little job.
- 21:23Oh, thank you so much, and thank you for your great review on it,
- 21:27and thank you for interviewing Craig, because Craig deserves so much credit
- 21:33for everything for my career.
- 21:36It's like he's done, every time I have to learn something hard,
- 21:41like he's done a film of My Lady Macbeth monologue, he did a film of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
- 21:48We did a film a few years ago called Down and Out in Vampire Hills,
- 21:54and that's a horror comedy.
- 21:58And it turned out really good, but it was a short film, and it won tons of awards,
- 22:06and we're really proud of it. And it was written by Dr.
- 22:10Heather Joseph Witham, and she is Rena's sister.
- 22:16And she is currently, I had to write it out there, write it so I could remember.
- 22:21But she's currently the History Channel on a show called The Truth Is Out There.
- 22:26Wow. She's a teacher, but she teaches mythology, and she's a vampire expert.
- 22:32So she wrote the script to Down and Out in Vampire Hills, and she got the story idea for the job.
- 22:40But Craig wrote the script. Wow. Incredible.
- 22:45There's that what again incredible we have our own film company here and we've
- 22:53done short films so far which can't get distribution so our plan is to do a feature film.
- 23:03But for that, I mean, you know how much work goes into that.
- 23:08Oh, yeah, yes. We're going to have to raise money for it, you know,
- 23:12because I've been really lucky that I have a lot of friends and they'll come
- 23:16and work for me or work with me, you know.
- 23:19And it's like we all live in Huntington Beach, so we have all these sets.
- 23:24And so we could make our short films on a low budget.
- 23:29Sure. But we want our featured film to, you know, obviously get picked up and
- 23:35distributed and be good.
- 23:37So we're going to need a budget for that.
- 23:40We're going to need a script, you know.
- 23:43Well, I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy. Yeah, I know.
- 23:47Yeah. So, since we've done a lot of sci-fi and vampire, I think that's probably
- 23:56what we want to go with. That's awesome.
- 24:01There's nothing wrong with sci-fi and vampires, or better still, both together.
- 24:08Yeah, no, so, I mean, it's right up your alley. Yeah.
- 24:13Dawna, you don't have to sell me. I'm on board with anything you want to do.
- 24:18It'll just be my task to commit it to the finest screenplay ever offered an
- 24:22actress such as yourself.
- 24:25Well, you know, Craig, you know, so, and Craig is a perfectionist.
- 24:29I mean, it's like any, anything that he's going to film is going to be great.
- 24:34It was we filmed my lady mcbeth monologue
- 24:38over in the hills and there was like
- 24:41fog rolling in i mean it was in it
- 24:44was an incredible background i'm going craig do you really want me to go over
- 24:49there in public and do this lady mcbeth monologue you know because people were
- 24:55it's a there's a park around it right people were walking around and stuff and
- 24:59he goes oh yeah i think it'll be good.
- 25:02So, I mean, the film,
- 25:05It was really great. His idea was great. Yeah.
- 25:09Well, I mean, look, if you were doing Shakespeare in the Park, I'd stop to watch.
- 25:15I'd throw down a blanket and sit there and watch the whole thing.
- 25:19Well, you know, that would be so hard, though, to do a complete Shakespeare.
- 25:25Oh, sure. I'm doing right now, or next Friday, actually, I'm doing something
- 25:32called Shakespeare on the Rocks. Okay.
- 25:35It's at the American Legion, the Hollywood American Legion post.
- 25:39And I have friends who are veterans who are there and they were doing this Shakespeare thing.
- 25:46And Lejeune, Lejeune from the job. Okay, cool.
- 25:49So is it on stage or is this a film? Is this on stage?
- 25:53It's going to be on stage. On stage, okay. Yeah, so I was supposed to be doing
- 25:58a film with Gregory Hattonaka in December and it got postponed.
- 26:03So Lejean told me about this Shakespeare thing, and I thought,
- 26:07oh, you know, I want to be a part of that.
- 26:10And I was hoping I could do my Macbeth, you know, because since I already memorized it. Yeah, yeah.
- 26:18But I got a sonnet 23.
- 26:23Okay, wow. It has been one of the hardest things in the world.
- 26:29I mean, sonnets are like poems.
- 26:32You know, they're not like a play.
- 26:35Like with Macbeth, there's all this drama built in, and you know the story and
- 26:40all of that. But this sonnet.
- 26:44Just a bunch of words, and so it's like a different language.
- 26:49You have to memorize all of these words, and then you have to put visualization into each line.
- 26:58I started this three weeks ago, and it has taken all of my time to get this sonnet right.
- 27:05But this wonderful lady named Nancy, who is an English teacher,
- 27:11She helped me this week, helped me with the visualization, and I finally have it right.
- 27:17Yeah. I think that's the key to Shakespeare. Well, certainly learning Shakespeare
- 27:21is, because you can chew on the words, but back when I crept the boards in my youth.
- 27:33The key i found to learning shakespeare was to
- 27:36simply to translate what he was
- 27:39what his meaning was in in the text
- 27:42yeah when you break when you break it down
- 27:45when you take the the flowery nature of the
- 27:47text away and just go well he means this right yeah
- 27:51so it's very easy to learn dialogue as long as you have the
- 27:53the mental the meaning of of
- 27:56what you're saying because sometimes it's like you
- 27:59say speaking a different language you don't really
- 28:03understand what that particular enunciation
- 28:06of the words but if you understand the meaning it's
- 28:10very easy to learn those lines and then to deliver them because you know what
- 28:13you're really saying even though you're not saying it that way you know yeah
- 28:18you know it's like i i believe in education and so it's like i did all my homework
- 28:25on this, I knew what he was talking about,
- 28:27but it was still hard.
- 28:30Oh, no doubt. Because the lines...
- 28:34In Macbeth, it was just straightforward. But in the sonnet, the lines are just different.
- 28:43So you have to do a different, with me anyway, I had to do a different visualization for each phrase.
- 28:53And so Nancy helped me a lot with that.
- 28:56I mean, one of my visualizations is a shark. Because I'm scared of the sharks.
- 29:03And people have been having all these shark attacks, unfortunately,
- 29:07you know, so, so anyway, that's taken all my time, but I do,
- 29:12I have something that I want to tell you that I can't really talk about. I get it.
- 29:18I got contacted this week by a casting director on backstage,
- 29:24and she contacted me for this amazing project.
- 29:30And I can't talk about it because, you know, But it's amazing.
- 29:36It's an amazing project.
- 29:38But, you know, this, I'm hoping that this will be my big break. Oh, okay.
- 29:44I don't want to, I don't want to. I know what you're saying.
- 29:47You're saying that all these years later, it wasn't Blade Runner, it's this, right?
- 29:53I hope so. But, you know, it's like, I mean, I just read the script is absolutely amazing.
- 30:00Wow. You know, and the people involved are amazing.
- 30:04Wow. The type of people that you dream about. Like, you know,
- 30:10my uncle is Tak Fujimoto. Yeah.
- 30:13Okay. We're talking in that territory where we're getting up into the high.
- 30:17Yes, well, the casting director is amazing.
- 30:23So anyway, I can't talk about it, but I'm really excited.
- 30:29Yeah, so like I said, you know, I never... Hang on, we wait with eager anticipation now.
- 30:36I mean, it's like waiting for Moses to come back down with the Ten Commandments.
- 30:41Yeah, I'm just hoping everything goes according to plan. Yes,
- 30:47the movie gods smile upon everything, and it all sort of just falls together nice.
- 30:52Yes, yes. So, I mean, I'm so excited about that.
- 31:00I've told you before, and it's another thing I can't really verify,
- 31:06but I may be going to South Korea in May because a new studio is being set up.
- 31:18I'm involved with this studio that is setting up a new division based in Korea.
- 31:28Anyway, it's going to be a family thing. So I may get to go and represent Hollywood there.
- 31:36I'm so excited because I think I told you, do you know who BTS is?
- 31:43They're a south korean boy band
- 31:46but they're like they've taken over the world they're coming
- 31:49back for their world tour wow and the youngest
- 31:53there are seven members the youngest member is named
- 31:55jungkook and so i do a lot of music videos and two years ago maybe three years
- 32:02ago uh the casting director johnny buckley contacted me and said he needed someone
- 32:09who could cry so so it was you know it's all this big secret on music videos.
- 32:16If they're big people, they never tell you who the star is. You know, they just show up.
- 32:21So it was Universal Studios, and I showed up, and I was in the last scene of
- 32:31Jungkook's music video, Seven.
- 32:33What? And it's gotten like 50 million views now.
- 32:38I'm in the last scene with the casket with Lotto.
- 32:43Okay. okay and at the you
- 32:46know it's like i'm not really i do a lot of music
- 32:49videos but i'm not really a music person so at the time i didn't know who lotto
- 32:55was and i didn't know who joan cook was either myself you know so after i saw
- 33:01the video i became like bts's biggest fan you know but it's too late.
- 33:13I never approached stars.
- 33:17I'm very shy, and I know they don't want to be approached on the set.
- 33:24I would have been really excited at seeing them if I had known who they were. Yeah.
- 33:30But now, I'm a BTS fan, so I'm really excited about this South Korea trip,
- 33:37and I hope it happens. That's awesome.
