Stuntwoman, stunt coordinator, and actress Donna Garrett was born Donna Lee Funk on November 17, 1942 in Santa Ana, California. Garrett grew up in suburban Los Angeles and attended L.A. Valley Junior College as a physical education major. Donna met her husband Ralph Garrett at a rehearsal for the acrobatic square dance troupe Homer Garrett's Why-Not Twirlers in 1961; the couple got married three years later in 1964. She began performing stunts in movies in the mid-1960's. Among the notable actresses that Garrett has doubled for are Raquel Welch, Jacqueline Bisset, Angie Dickinson, Barbra Streisand, and Ali MacGraw.
