    Donna Rusch Beisel is an American actress. A fun fact, before he became a star, she starred with Matthew McConaughey in a training film for Exxon Aviation. She graduated from the University of Houston with her Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio/TV/Film. She landed a job as a part-time Desk Assistant at the country's #1 All-News Radio Station, KTRH-740 AM, Houston. She quickly rose to become a Reporter, earning numerous local and statewide awards including "Best News Series in Texas" from UPI. After 3 years, she went to the smaller city of Beaumont, Texas to prime her TV reporting skills. Soon, she became the city's first female solo 10 o'clock weeknight News Anchor.

For 17 years, she worked primarily in commercials, voiceover and as a spokeswoman for Industrial Films and Web Content for clients such as ExxonMobil, Shell, Compaq Computers, Continental Airlines and Chevron.

    In 1995, she became host of Texas Today, a live daily morning show featuring Hollywood stars visiting the city, top chefs, book authors, and a live band. In 2000, her first TV movie role was as a Reporter in Mortelle Invasion (2000), directed by Tim Matheson, made famous by his Otter role in American College (1978). She also became known as "Renee Rusch", a traffic reporter on several radio stations and served time as a TV Traffic Anchor on both the NBC and CBS television affiliates.
