Early years
Loren was born in Boston, Massachusetts. Her mother Ruth and her adoptive father Morey Zukor (Morris Zukovsky) are deceased. Morey and his brother, Louis, were animators. She has two younger brothers, Alan and Rick Zukovsky.
Loren performed in amateur talent shows from the early age of six and, in 1955, sang on a radio commercial for Meadow Gold Ice Cream appearing with Dick Beals, who was famous for playing the character of Speedy Alka Seltzer.
In the same year, she was a frequent performer on the music radio series Sqeakin' Deacon with James Burton, a musician with whom she would work many times throughout her career. By 1956, she was performing with The Moppets Group and also recorded a single "I Think It's Almost Christmas Time" (Fable).
On her tenth birthday, Loren filmed an appearance on The Mickey Mouse Club for the Friday "Talent Round-Up Day", performing the songs "I Didn't Know the Gun was Loaded" and "Pennies from Heaven".
Loren continued to perform and record through the late 1950s and early 1960s, with her songs released on Skylark and Ramada, as well as the American Publishing Company's new label Crest. Her first two efforts for that label, "Hands Off", written by Billy Page, arranged by his brother Gene Page, and Glen Campbell's "I'm So Lonely" were produced by Jimmy Bowen – another person who would play a significant role throughout Loren's career – and were recorded at Gold Star Studios. It was also at Crest that she began to use the professional name Donna Loren, having previously recorded under the names of Donna Zukor (Morey's pen-name and Donna's legal name), Donna Dee, and Barbie Ames. On television, Loren appeared on Playhouse 90 episode "In the Presence of Mine Enemies" (1960), featuring Robert Redford.
