There’s a new man in my life. No, it’s not what you think… I’m still happily married. But Hal is the man who revived Nancy Sinatra in the 90’s. He contacted me after seeing my video on YouTube and asked me when the photo of me was taken on the most recent homepage as of this past August. I told him 2000. Hal advised me strongly to update and refresh my home page so I hired the best photographer in Hawaii, Marc Arbeit (who is the go-to guy when celebrities come to Hawaii). In September, he flew over from Honolulu to the Big Island where I live. We spent the whole day together taking pictures at the beach in my little polkadot bikini; wearing all leopard with my vintage Mercedes “Betsy”, a 1970 280SE Coupe; in my livingroom standing by my refurbished 1877 Steinway piano; and the new photo on my current home page. I think it’s warm and inviti

REFRESHED & UPDATED

I take it you have some passion for vintage things. Certainly there are many good things from the past that we haven’t seen in a while and are worth seeing again. I have to say you fit that category Donna. Vintage or Classic aren’t the right words for you though. Timeless is more fitting.
I am glad that someone has convinced you to share a little more of yourself with your fan base. Your current photos are every bit as beautiful and appealing as your photos of the sixties. I hope that you will consider offering some of them through your website with your other photos.
You look so good I have to wonder why you removed yourself from the public eye for so long. But that’s my own selfish thought and what ever path has lead you here must have been your personal choice. Your return is most welcome though.
P.S. If you are ever in California and need a car for a photo shoot I have a restored 1969 Corvette Coupe I’d love to loan you.
Love the new homepage photo!! In fact all the pictures are just beautiful!! Donna, you look wonderful!
Donna,
The pictues are excellent and you belong in the spotlight I especially love the picture of you with your glasses over your hair when I opened up the email. I have always believed you would have been one of the biggest female actresses and recording stars if you stayed in the business. But being a mother, who can top that. Everyday I am on You Tube and I love “Shakin’ All Over,” “Goldfinger,” and 2 Songs from “Beach Blanket Bingo.” What more can I say!!!!!
saw the photo’s
what can I say
every guy envies
that bikini that day
heard the song
Only hurts when I cry
as a very uncool listener
wish for less music more lyric,you know why
thanks for being in touch
wish you well
