Donna Reed - biography

“What we look for in the school is unrealized potential.”

“I hope more people decide to become organ donors.”

“If nuclear power plants are safe, let the commerical insurance industry insure them.  Until these most expert judges of risk are willing to gamble with their money, I’m not willing to gamble with the health and safety of my family.”

“Forty pictures I was in, and all I remember is ‘What kind of bra will you be wearing today, honey?’ That was always the area of big decision - from the neck to the navel.”

“I’ve been involved with blood donation since the 1980s because there is a critical need.”

“When you handle yourself, use your head; when you handle others, use your heart.”
