Minna Brighton
- Actress
- Producer
Born in Ottawa, Canada, Minna is an actor who like most of the experienced ones, realized that making one's own films is entirely more fun. She is a partner in a production house out of Raleigh, NC, called Cult Cinema. They specialize in horror features, and are in post production on their second feature.
She was bitten by the acting bug at age 4, working on her first commercial for Crest Toothpaste and the Canadian Dental Association. After that, Minna dove into the world of theatre and television headfirst. This was coupled with years of dance training and teaching of her beloved Highland Dance. "Fifteen", also known as "Hillside", with Van Wilder and The Proposal star Ryan Reynolds, was Minna's first foray onto set. After many years in musical theatre, with such roles as "Miss Adalaide" in Guys and Dolls, and the title role in "Johnny Belinda", her favourite to date, this Canadian headed to Hollywood.
Along with her Art Director husband, David Robert Donatucci, who makes video games for a living, they called California home for over 15 years, until Covid brought them closer to home to care for their loved ones and create home base in Canada once again.
Aside from acting, her other love is traveling. She has thus far explored three continents, and is looking forward to adventuring on her fourth and even fifth as soon as she can.
