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.
