Donna Moss
Donnatella "Donna" Moss is a fictional character played by Janel Moloney on the television serial drama The West Wing. Donna is a recurring character during the first season, although she appears in every episode, making her a de facto regular. She becomes part of the regular cast the beginning of the second season.
For most of the series, Donna is Senior Assistant to Deputy White House Chief of Staff Josh Lyman (or, as she jokingly calls herself in one episode, the "Deputy Deputy Chief of Staff"). Although all of the senior staff's assistants are continuing characters with personal backgrounds, Donna is the most well-defined and frequently featured staff member on the assistant level, and her difficult, semi-romantic relationship with Josh is a major plot device during the later seasons of the show.

Famous quotes containing the words donna and/or moss:
“I’m stronger knowing that while Donna Rice could be sold, she could not be bought.”
—Donna Rice (b. c. 1962)
“His life itself passes deeper in nature than the studies of the naturalist penetrate; himself a subject for the naturalist. The latter raises the moss and bark gently with his knife in search of insects; the former lays open logs to their core with his axe, and moss and bark fly far and wide. He gets his living by barking trees. Such a man has some right to fish, and I love to see nature carried out in him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
