Donna Mills, the iconic actress known for her role as Abby Cunningham on Knots Landing, is making waves once again by joining OnlyFans at the age of 85. Recognized for her glamorous portrayal in the beloved '80s TV series, Mills is now embracing the adults-only subscription platform in a bid to foster a more "personal and direct" connection with her fans. Speaking to Variety, she expressed her excitement: "I've always appreciated the incredible support and encouragement I've received from my fans over the years. Social media has been a wonderful way to stay connected, but I'm excited to join OnlyFans because it offers the opportunity for a more personal and direct connection."
With this move, Donna promises to share glimpses into her daily life, behind-the-scenes moments, and engage meaningfully with her supporters. It's a chance for her to spend quality time with those who've followed her career, while staying true to herself.
Andy Bachman, CEO of Creators INC, emphasized that Mills' venture into OnlyFans isn't about changing who she is, but rather about offering her longtime fans more access to the woman they've grown to love. "Donna has always been fearless and ahead of her time," he said. "She told me, ‘YOLO – let’s do it,’ and that perfectly captures her attitude. She is approaching OnlyFans on her own terms and creating a space that feels authentic, personal, and completely true to her."
It's an approach that resonates with Mills' long-standing ethos. She's not trying to fit into a predefined mold; instead, she's crafting a genuine experience for her audience, offering insights into her life and career.
“This is not about changing who she is. It is about giving her longtime fans more access to the personality, style and behind-the-scenes moments they already love.”
Outside of her creative pursuits, Donna keeps active with a routine that involves near-daily workouts and regular tennis matches. Her dedication to fitness, she believes, is key to her vitality and longevity, helping her sidestep many age-related ailments. In a chat on the Really Famous podcast, she shared, "I think the people out there have to realise it takes work. You can't just decide, 'Oh, I'm going to look good,' you know? I didn't wake up looking like this."
For Donna, it's clear that exercise remains a priority, underscoring its importance at any age. "For years, they don't work out. You can't get that back," she emphasized. "You can start to work out again ... but you've lost something in that time." Her commitment to staying fit is as much a part of her life today as it has always been, ensuring that she continues to inspire her fans both old and new.
