In movies she was the archetypal sweetheart and wife. The only time she played a fallen woman, in From Here to Eternity, she won an Academy Award. Her work has lived on in saturation reruns of The Donna Reed Show and the classic It's a Wonderful Life.

    She was the greatest of the Greats ! hide show

    She and Lucille Ball were all time greats and always will! I grew up watching Donna Reed on TV. I have to say she is one of my favorite actresses of all time! So I can say that she will always be remembered! So as I bid farewell, I want to say, "thanks for the moments in classic TV." They are truly treasured !
