Alzenia Lynn Hamilton was born in Yazoo City, Mississippi, in 1930. She dreamed of a career as an actress and began in community theatre under the stage name Lynn Hamilton. She got her big break in the early 1970s. In 1972, she joined the cast of Sanford and Son, as Fred Sandford’s girlfriend, Donna Harris. She stayed in that role until 1977. Simultaneously, she portrayed Verdie Grand Foster on The Waltons from 1973 to 1981. She continued acting into the early 2000s and returned quietly.
