I was looking into Jeff from *The Donna Reed Show* and ended up reading about Reed's whole career.

Donna Reed is best known for playing Mary Hatch Bailey in *It's a Wonderful Life* (1946), but she actually won her Academy Award for *From Here to Eternity* (1953). She then moved to television, starring as Donna Stone in *The Donna Reed Show* from 1958 to 1966. Her career spanned over four decades, but those three roles are the ones people remember.
