Born in Seattle, Washington to Filipino immigrants, Donnabella Mortel grew up doing just about everything: sports, dancing, art, modeling etc. She attended Seattle University, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. in Criminal Justice specializing in Forensic Psychology and a B.A. in Humanities. Working in a law office and getting prepared for law school while dancing for the NBA’s Seattle Supersonics (which ceased to exist in 2008, putting Donnabella Mortel’s well-kept age near 30 I reckon), Donnabella Mortel decided to try scratching her acting itch. She’s got a lot of credits under her belt—I first spotted her on Showtime’s Ray Donovan—and is trying to get a music career off the ground as well.
