Donahue Silvis

While in college at Marquette University, on scholarship, I played football. Then I moved to California, where I attended the renowned Pasadena Playhouse Drama School, where classmates were Dustin Hoffman, Ruth Buzzy, and Gene Hickman. As a member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), I worked in movies as an actor and screenwriter. Most notable was my part in the movie Lady in Cement, where I had a scene with Frank Sinatra and Dan Blocker. Later, I finished college when I graduated from Florida Atlantic University, majoring in film studies and creative writing. I’ve written seven novels, eight screenplays, and one illustrated children's book. Now retired, I continue writing and promoting my novels and screenplays while residing in Naples, Florida.
