Diamond Donner was an early 20th-century theatre actor.
Personal life
From Boston, Diamond Donner was the daughter of Gustav Theodore[1] and Louella Donner.[2] She was a 1901 alumnus of Wellesley College.[1] In August 1906, Donner had her mother committed to Ardendale Sanitarium in Cos Cob, Connecticut; when the older woman escaped on September 6 and was not recommitted, Donner traveled to Greenwich, Connecticut on September 10 to request adjudication on the matter.[2]
Career
An aspiring stage actor since childhood, after graduating from Wellesley, she began her acting career as a chorus girl in The Prince of Pilsen. According to The Minneapolis Journal, Donner looked so much like the famous actor Ethel Barrymore, she was frequently called the other woman's name.[1] In 1913, Donner's performance of Mimi in Carmen was described as one of the most significant triumphs of the season by the Daily Sentinel.[3]
