About Me:
Darcy Donavan has made her mark as a multi-talented performer: acting, singing, and dancing, and finding success in all three areas. Darcy was born to young teenage parents in Miami, Florida. They divorced when she was two years old. Things were tough for Darcy's single mother who moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and struggled with raising Darcy on her own, at times working two to three jobs to make ends meet. Like a flower in the desert, Darcy still thrived at school, where her affinity for music and acting first showed while she was a member of the drama club and the church choir.
Darcy landed her first major acting role at the age of 8 in a national commercial where she beat out over 500 other kids. From that moment on, Darcy knew where her destiny lay. She also used her talent to help others around her by performing at children's hospitals, as well as raising money for many charities in her hometown of Nashville.
Darcy's young mother remarried and unfortunately became a victim of domestic violence. Darcy witnessed violence against her mother and was also abused by her then stepfather. Her mother went into hiding, and Darcy went to live with her grandparents. In her grandparents' home, she finally felt safe and her musical aspirations blossomed. Her grandfather, Joseph Mancini, bought her first guitar and microphone after seeing his granddaughter's growing talent. Due to his encouragement, Darcy won a Battle of the Bands against 500 contestants. Darcy was again devastated several years later, when her grandfather passed away due to cancer. In the acting and music he had shared with her, she found an escape from the trauma of his death.
Darcy continued to thrive and won numerous talent and beauty competitions, including a stint as Ms. Nashville, Tennessee. A well-known agent cast her in several national films, television shows and commercials. Around this time she began her singing career, touring with several name artists around the United States. Darcy's first album broke platinum status in Canada and gained worldwide exposure.
With her career growing, she moved to Los Angeles, where she appeared in several top films such as "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind", "Showtime" with Robert Deniro and Eddie Murphy and "Tomcats" with Jerry O'Connell and Shannon Elizabeth. Darcy also won roles in television shows such as NBC's "My Name is Earl", NBC's "Las Vegas" with James Caan and ABC's soap opera "Passions." She played the role of "Sherry" in the blockbuster comedy "Anchorman," starring Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate.
During this time Darcy's singing career also exploded with an album titled "Distraction," garnering over 20 million listens to date. Songs from "Distraction" gained international press and one eclipsed the competition as the number one ring tone download in the United States on major cell phone networks in 2010.
Darcy has been lauded for her charitable work for domestic violence awareness, a cause close to her heart due to her own personal experiences, and was given an award by the Los Angeles city council for speaking out on this issue. She has also supported public school programs that are battling tight budgets nationwide.
Apart from her reputation as a performer in several fields, many know Darcy as a savvy entrepreneur and writer. She continues her successful acting career, to craft her music, as well as, co-producing and writing two feature films in Los Angeles, CA. Even though she has worked very hard to achieve her successes, anyone can always hear her giving thanks to God, her mother and her grandfather for where she is today.

Interests:
www.twitter.com/darcydonavanwww.myspace.com/darcydonavanmusicWow, that is a pretty broad spectrum. Interests, I have many. I love people. I love to watch how and why people do certain things. I love to help people and make them feel good about themselves.I also love the art of business, (don't let the blonde hair and boobs fool ya, when it comes to business matters).heheheI am the owner of a growing production company in Los Angeles, so being in the entertainment industry helps me to help those around me. I get to help other celebrities, famous directors and artists and creative people in general with their careers. I also like to help other up and comers get their dreams as well.I make movies, films, do post-production, and music and travel the world. Not bad for a good ole Southern Gal.I am also a BIG water person. I love the ocean and love to scuba dive and swim and just love water period. My bath time is like a spiritual experience, I will sit in the bath and read and pray sometimes for hours or put some candles on and just meditate or listen to some jazz music. I am a big goofball who likes to make people laugh and I always wanted to be a comedian. I think the entire universe needs alot more laughter. I am a pretty passionate and deep person. If I feel strongly on something then I definitely will tell you, I don't care who you are. I am definitely not a kiss ass. I owe everything I have to God because I had a really hard life growing up and he was always there for me, especially when I felt I could not go on. I realized that God is like a coach getting you ready for the BIG GAME DAY and putting you through tests in life. He doesn't want you to fail he wants you to go from the minor leagues to the major leagues in life. He has always been a great coach through good times and bad and will continue to be.www.myspace.com/officialdarcydonavanwww.darcydonavan.comwww.imdb.com/name/nm1261965/www.cdbaby.com/darcydonavan
Music:
I love all kinds of music, from rock to pop, hip hip and country although most of the stuff that's out right now pretty much just sounds the same.UGHHHHHHH!!! When it's all said and done though, I'm an EIGHTIES GIRL!! Yep,love them eighties, YEE HAWW!!!! I think the music in that time era was so happy and fun. It just seems like everything playing on the radio is either sad,depressing,or makes you want to get up and wring someone's neck. LOL Anyway, music is my love. I have been singing and performing since I was in diapers and its in my blood. I think people are all born for certain things and I feel like performing is what I was born to do. I want everyone when they come to my shows to have fun and feel good when they leave. I also want to donate and help raise awareness to certain charities that I support with my music being the catalyst.
