Donna's hair

[Elizabeth B.]

In the Donna Reed Show, is that Donna's real hair or is she wearing a wig? Her hair seems different in the last few seasons than it did in the first few.

Also, what is the deal with that one episode where she had REALLY short hair? It was the episode where Alex's old friend Biff the football player visits, to do some business in town. Was that her real hair or a wig?

Hi,

In the Biff episode. I think that was Donna's hair. Up in a bun. The 1965-66. I think Donna's hair stunk. I remember my mom saying was she sick or something. I think that was a wig. I wonder the real story. Because Donna had beautiful hair. Especially when she had the bleach jobs!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. There's nothing like Donna's helmet hairdo from the later seasons of the show. I understand that Donna's helmet, along with Marlo Thomas' flip from "That Girl", is directly responsible for the depletion of a huge portion of the ozone layer.
