Donna Martin, Miss Congeniality Quiz

Answer: Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling was of course producer Aaron Spelling's daughter. She auditioned for the show using her full name, Victoria, and her mother's maiden name so that the casting crew wouldn't realize who she was. The character of Donna was not originally intended to become central to the plot, but she proved to be a fan favourite.

Answer: December 25

Donna first mentioned that she was born on Christmas Day in the second season episode "A Walsh Family Christmas". She said that no one ever remembered her birthday with all the hype of Christmas. In season four, when Dylan brought presents to Kelly and Donna at their apartment, he brought an extra gift for Donna, for her birthday.

Answer: Steve

Donna ended up going with Steve, because Brenda was going with Dylan and Kelly was going with Brandon, so her and Steve decided to go together. She was not interested in David at this point. Donna wore a dress that made it hard for her to dance, walk, or even sit in. Steve ignored her all night because he was upset that it was his birthday and Kelly hadn't remembered.

It was also the first birthday he had since he found out he was adopted.

Answer: playing the stock market

In the second season episode "Necessity is a Mother", Donna did really well on a school project in which they had to pick stocks. Encouraged by this, Steve convinced her to pool some money with him and hit the real stock market. One thing that convinced her to do so was that Kelly called her "dumb" for even considering the idea and Donna hated being called dumb.

She ended her stock market career after Steve called her dumb as well.

Answer: False

Donna and Brenda left for Paris in the third season episode "The Twins, The Trustee and The Very Big Trip". It was meant to be an opportunity to study abroad in an immersion program, but Donna was having trouble keeping up with everyone else. In "Sex, Lies and Volleyball/Photo Fini", Donna was 'discovered' by a photographer who offered her a two-year modelling contract.

She was going to stay in Paris to be a model, but quickly discovered that her photographer was not completely on the level. It was Brenda who met a boy, Rick, but she ultimately decided to return to Dylan in the States.

Answer: Most Creative

This was at the end of the third season, in the episode "Senior Poll". She also won the title of "Friendliest".

Answer: D'Shawn Hardell

D'Shawn Hardell was played by Cress Williams. He was a basketball star who was tutored in Sociology by Brandon. His friendship with Donna was first shown in the fourth season episode "Blind Spot", when she convinced him to pose for a calendar her sorority was creating.

In that same episode, she pretended to go on a date with him to make David jealous. At the beginning of the fifth season, Donna's mother did not approve of her friendship with D'Shawn.

Answer: False

Just about everyone else lived in the Walsh house at one point, after Jim and Cindy moved to Hong Kong at the end of the fifth season, but Donna was always at the beach apartment. Every time she and David broke up, it was he who left, not her.

Answer: weather girl

She takes the job in the seventh season episode "Phantom of C.U." Shortly after, she began receiving menacing phone calls and was stalked all over campus. She originally thought it was the doing of Garrett Slan, the man who had tried to rape her, but it ended up being the psychotic cameraman of the news show.

Answer: Kelly

Of course, it was Kelly, and Dylan was David's best man. Most of the original characters returned to Beverly Hills for Donna and David's wedding, except the Walsh family (though Brandon was shown on videotape). Kelly also caught the wedding bouquet, and got back together with Dylan to end the show's ten-year run.
