Donna Pescow (born March 24, 1954) is an American film and television actress and director. She is known for her co-starring roles as Annette in the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever, and Eileen Stevens in the Disney Channel sitcom Even Stevens.
Pescow was born in Brooklyn, New York, to a Jewish family. Her father owned and ran a newsstand in downtown NYC at Battery Place. Pescow attended Sheepshead Bay High School in Brooklyn, and studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. In approximately 1973, she had a leading role in an Off-Off Broadway musical entitled Poor Old Fool. It had a brief run, closing after just a few weeks.
In 1977, Pescow played Annette in the John Travolta film Saturday Night Fever. For this role, she had to relearn her Brooklyn accent (which she had significantly reduced for professional reasons). While her role, and the film, were huge successes, she later went on to appear in television roles for most of her career. For this role, she was the New York Film Critics' third place choice for their award for Best Supporting Actress.
