Donnell was born in South Windham, Maine, where her father was superintendent at a boys' reformatory.[1] As a child, she adopted the nickname "Jeff" after the character in her favorite comic strip, Mutt and Jeff.[2][note 1][1] To avoid gender confusion, she was sometimes billed as "(Miss) Jeff Donnell."
Donnell was signed to a contract by Columbia Pictures while she was active with the Farragut Playhouse in New Hampshire, and she made her film debut in My Sister Eileen (1942).[3] She later had roles in some RKO films.
She was not a major star, but she did have a lengthy film and television career in various supporting roles, including the role of Gidget's mother Dorothy Lawrence in Gidget Goes Hawaiian and Gidget Goes to Rome.[3] She also played Hannah Marshall in the Gidget television series.[4]:391 She portrayed Mrs. Bennett in the TV series Julia,[4]:548 and in 1966 she made five appearances on Dr. Kildare as Evelyn Driscoll.
For three seasons, she portrayed George Gobel's wife, Alice, in The George Gobel Show (19541957) on NBC-TV,[4] and she played Ethel on the Matt Helm TV series.[4]:667

I did ask for someone else to post. In the meantime, I've had to get a new Hard-drive installed. That should stop my previous problems.
Know the face, but not a Dean Martin fan, so don't know him from there.
He looks a bit like Howard Keel, but I don't think it's him.
