Who's the girl in the "Domino Dancing" video, and what can you tell me about her?
This
is probably the single most frequently asked question that I receive—asked
at least a dozen times over the past few years—so I figured it should go
near the top of the list.
The girl in the "Domino Dancing" video is named Donna Bottman. I understand that she was an aspiring actress and model. I'm afraid I know very little else for sure about her, although there are some indications that she may have established a subsequent career in the hotel/tourism industry in Puerto Rico—which, not so incidentally, is where the video was shot.
And, in case you're interested, the two young men who vie for her attention in the video are portrayed by David Boira and Adalberto Martinez.
