Vyvyan Enid Donner (December 26, 1895 – June 27, 1965)[1][2][3] was an American fashion editor, film director, screenwriter, theatrical costume designer and caricaturist, perhaps best remembered for narrating numerous Movietone newsreels.
On December 26, 1895, Vyvyan Enid Donner was born in New York City, the only child of Herman Montague and Emma Adelaide Donner (née Wilkins).[1][4] Raised in Brooklyn, Donner attended St. Catherine's Hall and later Adelphi Academy before studying briefly with Ethel Traphagen at Cooper Union[5] and George Bridgman at the Art Students' League.[6] She staged the Movietone newsreel women's fashion sequences for many years.[7]
