The film referred to in the article was the Arthur Penn film, 'Mickey One,' starring Warren Beatty. Photograph caption dated April 23, 1964 partially reads, "Donna Michelle pictured in varied activities during a quiet day at home in Woodland Hills...At left, she cracks some books to prepare for her night classes at Pierce College." The article partially reads, "But how did she win a film role with such slight experience? 'Indirectly, by being the Playboy Magazine Playmate last December,' she smiled...'Playboy learned that Penn was filming the picture in Chicago,' she went on, 'and urged a number of its girls to try out for parts. I was picked.'"; See images #00117691 through #00117693 for all photos in this series.
