"Donna De Seta began her professional life as an actress and performer. Working off Broadway in musical theatre earning rave reviews in "Dames At Sea" and "Uninvited Guests". In regional theatre she worked in dramatic roles with the most prestigious and respected actors in the American theatre. This training and the discipline required have remained invaluable assets in all her professional endeavours.
She began the journey to becoming the respected casting director she is today when she took a "temporary" position at Stewart Models one of the most important agencies of it's time. She eventually became the Executive Vice President of the four corporations under the Stewart umbrella.
She left Stewart to open her own business as a casting director and quickly won the confidence of directors, producers, choreographers and creative heads. Many of them remain loyal clients to this day.
She has been involved in the casting of over 40 theatrically released films. In theatre she has cast for such giants as Harold Prince and Andrew Lloyd Weber.
Her reputation as a casting director is unparalleled."
