Donna Mills, the soap-opera veteran who played the scheming Abby Cunningham on Knots Landing through the 1980s, has launched an OnlyFans account at 85. Her page is live at OnlyFans.com/donnamills, as Variety reported on 30 July 2026.

Mills told the outlet she joined the platform because it "offers the opportunity for a more personal and direct connection" with fans. She plans to share "moments from my daily life, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and engaging with fans in a more meaningful way," according to the same Variety report.

The idea came to her through Andy Bachman, the CEO of Creators INC, the company that owns OnlyFans. When Bachman approached Mills about joining, her response was three words: "YOLO — let's do it" — a colloquial "you only live once" that he recounted to Variety.

Mills has been on television for six decades. Her first role was a supporting part on the CBS daytime soap The Secret Storm in 1966. She became a household name as Abby Cunningham on Knots Landing, the CBS primetime soap that ran from 1979 to 1993, staying with the series through its most-watched years. She later won a Daytime Emmy for outstanding special guest performer in a drama series for her turn as Madeline Reeves on General Hospital.

Her recent screen work has crossed into film. Mills appeared in Joy (2015), Nope (2022) and Origin (2023), keeping her in front of audiences well past the point where most performers of her generation have stepped back.

OnlyFans, launched in 2016, is a subscription platform where creators charge fans for access to photos, videos and direct messages. It is most widely associated with adult content, but the site has increasingly courted mainstream entertainers, musicians and athletes who use it for fan engagement rather than explicit material. Mills is the latest in that line, and at 85, among the most high-profile.

For fans of Mills's soap and film work, the account promises a kind of access the format markets of her heyday never allowed. Where a 1980s viewer might have waited for a magazine interview, a subscriber can now get behind-the-scenes glimpses posted directly by the performer.

No subscription price or content schedule has been publicly disclosed beyond Mills's stated plans. What is confirmed is that a television career spanning 60 years now has a new slot in the feed.
