Donna Loren
Donna Loren (born March 7, 1947) is an American singer and actress. A very prolific performer in the 1960s, starting while still attending Venice High School in western Los Angeles, she was the Dr Pepper spokesperson from 1963 to 1968, frequent vocalist on ABC-TV's ''Shindig'', and a cast member of the American International Pictures ''Beach Party'' movie series. Loren regularly performed live, and appeared on numerous variety and musical shows. She guest starred on episodic television series including ''Dr. Kildare'', ''Batman'', and ''The Monkees''. In 1968 she retired to marry and raise a family. She recorded again in the 1980s and ran her own fashion business ADASA Hawaii throughout the 1990-2000s. In 2009 Loren returned to performing, and her most recent releases include the album ''Love It Away'' (2010), the EP ''Donna Does Elvis in Hawaii'' (2010), and the critically acclaimed compilation ''These Are the Good Times: The Complete Capitol Recordings'' (2014). ==Early years== Loren was born in Boston, Massachusetts.〔(Donna Loren at The Internet Movie Database. )〕 Her mother Ruth and her adopted father Morey Zukor (Morris Zukovsky) are deceased.〔''Waterloo Sunday Courier'' 1967, April 30, p. 7 (TV Showtime).〕 Her adopted father, Morey, and uncle Louis Zukor were both animators. Her brothers are Alan Zukovsky and Rick Zukovsky. Loren performed in amateur talent shows from the early age of six and, in 1955, sang on a radio commercial for Meadow Gold Ice Cream appearing with Dick Beals, who was famous for playing the character of Speedy Alka Seltzer. In the same year, she was a frequent performer on the music radio series ''Sqeakin' Deacon'' with James Burton (whom she would work with many times throughout her career). By 1956, she was performing with The Moppets Group and also recorded a single "I Think It's Almost Christmas Time" (Fable).〔 On her tenth birthday, Loren appeared on ''The Mickey Mouse Club'' on the Friday "Talent Round-Up Day", performing the songs "I Didn't Know the Gun was Loaded" and "Pennies from Heaven".〔 Loren continued to perform and record through the late 1950s and early 1960s, with her songs released on Skylark and Ramada, as well as the American Publishing Company's new label Crest. Her first two efforts for that label, "Hands Off", written by Billy Page, arranged by his brother Gene Page, and Glen Campbell's "I'm So Lonely" were produced by Jimmy Bowen – another person who would play a significant role throughout Loren's career – and were recorded at Gold Star Studios.〔 It was also at Crest that she began to use the professional name Donna Loren, having previously recorded under the names of Donna Zukor (Morey's pen-name and Donna's legal name), Donna Dee, and Barbie Ames. On television, Loren appeared on ''Playhouse 90'' episode "In the Presence of Mine Enemies" (1960), featuring Robert Redford.〔
