Laura Prepon is one of the original cast members from That ’70s Show. As Donna Pinciotti, Prepon played a girl-next-door who is athletic, funny, and reliable. Her romance with Eric Forman, played by Topher Grace, was one of the highlights of the original series. And That ’90s Show features the progression of their relationship, with their teenage daughter Leia being one of the central characters.
Not only did Prepon reprise her role as Donna in the new show, but she directed the final two episodes of That ’90s Show as well. As reported by BuzzFeed, writer Gregg Mettler praised Prepon’s skills as a director. “We discussed it amongst ourselves, all the producers, about how wonderful it would be if she could come back and direct a few. We knew it would mean a lot to the young cast,” Mettler said.
“From a directing point of view, I think she just came in very prepared,” he continued. “She had ideas that I think echoed the blocking and movement from the old show. You start to feel that in those episodes Laura directed. She was just absolutely amazing and so professional. She’s so talented at directing.”
