‘The Hills of California’ actor Laura Donnelly
Description
During the curtain call of “The Hills of California,” numerous audience members could be caught looking around for a “missing” actor. But there was no one missing. Actor Laura Donnelly played the dual roles of Veronica/Joan. But her complete embodiment of the two characters led many to believe that two different actors had played them.
Donnelly is nominated for a 2025 Tony Award for her performance. In this latest episode, Donnelly describes her process of creating each character, her re-envisioning of Joan after major rewrites and her creation of an emotional climax night after night.
