Actress Donna Mills has earned six figures less than a month after launching her OnlyFans page at age 85, her management company confirmed.
The veteran soap opera star was spotted navigating Los Angeles International Airport on Monday without an entourage to assist her. Mills wheeled two large suitcases herself and carried an oversized handbag as she strolled through the terminal to board a flight.
Dressed in a stylish yet comfortable ensemble, she wore denim jeans, a white T-shirt, and a chic black blazer. Despite her long career in television, the actress managed her own bags while traveling through LAX, the primary airport serving the Los Angeles metropolitan region.
The Knots Landing legend recently partnered with Creators Inc., an OnlyFans management agency, to launch her specialized account on the subscription service. Creators Inc. confirmed that Mills has already generated many six figures in revenue in under a month.
OnlyFans subscriber requests
During a recent appearance on the official Creators Inc. podcast, Mills shared details about her experience on the platform and disclosed some of the unusual requests submitted by her subscribers. Among the inquiries was a specific request for foot kink content featuring the actress stomping on grapes with her bare feet.
Mills expressed enthusiasm about fulfilling the request, explaining the practical challenges she faced when trying to record the footage independently. "I am gonna do it," she said. "I tried to shoot it myself] but you can't shoot something while you're stomping, it just doesn't work."
She noted that she plans to complete the recording with proper production assistance. "I'm gonna do that very soon and do it right so people can really enjoy it. I think it's really funny and fun... it's a pleasure for me," Mills added.
Beyond specialized requests, Mills noted that her subscribers frequently express interest in seeing photographs of her without makeup, alongside other authentic glimpses into her personal daily life.
OnlyFans was founded in 2016 as an internet content subscription service headquartered in London, England. Although the platform initially gained prominence through adult content creators, it has increasingly expanded to feature mainstream media personalities, actors, and fitness experts seeking direct monetization models.
Exclusive platform content
A review of her OnlyFans account by the Daily Mail revealed that the actress actively showcases a suggestive side to her audience, while refraining from posting nude or sexually explicit content.
In one public image shared on her profile, Mills poses in skin-tight black activewear inside a gym while looking seductively into the camera. She captioned the photo, "In case you needed to test your stamina."
Other suggestive media on her profile remain accessible only through individual paywalls. Her paywalled captions include teasers such as "At my age I have a couple tricks up my sleeves" and "Giving you the ol razzle dazzle," accompanied by a blushing emoji.
In a direct message delivered to subscribers behind a paywall, Mills wrote, "I may be an older lady now but I'm still quite limber if you can't tell."
Mills first announced her decision to join OnlyFans last month, explaining her goal of establishing a more direct line of communication with her followers. In an interview with Variety, an entertainment industry trade publication founded in 1905, she stated that her channel would provide moments from my daily life and behind-the-scenes glimpses to engage with devoted fans in a more meaningful way.
Health and workout regimen
In a prior interview with AARP magazine, Mills outlined the diet and exercise routine that has helped her maintain her physical health into her 80s. AARP, formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons, is a non-profit organization focused on issues affecting Americans aged 50 and older.
Mills emphasized a long-standing commitment to eating green and clean throughout her career. "During the soap opera years, I never ate pasta, sugar, bread, ice cream, cookies or any of that kind of stuff. I would have maybe half a glass of wine," she explained.
While her diet has become somewhat more flexible, the Daytime Emmy Award winner continues to prioritize healthy eating. "Now I eat, but I'm still careful. I'm not a vegetarian, but I grow, pick and eat a lot of vegetables," she shared. Daytime Emmy Awards are presented annually by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences to honor excellence in daytime television programming.
Physical activity remains a cornerstone of her daily routine. Mills plays tennis five times each week, spending two hours per session on the court. "I play tennis five times a week for two hours at a time. I am lucky enough to have a clay court, which is so much easier on your joints than cement," Mills said.
In addition to tennis, Mills maintains a home gym equipped with light weights, a Peloton stationary bicycle, and a ballet barre for stretching. "I also have a small gym in my home, so I work out with light weights, use my Peloton, do a lot of stretching on my ballet barre," she said.
Acknowledging the physical challenges of aging, Mills admitted that staying active requires ongoing discipline. "And let me tell you, it's not always fun. Like almost everyone my age, I have arthritis, and it hurts sometimes. But this is where discipline comes in. I'm not Superwoman, but I do always see the bigger picture," she added.
Television career history
Mills began her professional acting career on daytime television, securing her breakout role in 1967 on the soap opera Love Is a Many Splendored Thing. The CBS series was adapted from the 1955 feature film of the same title.
Following her initial success, Mills spent the next decade appearing across various episodic television series and made-for-television movies.
In 1980, Mills landed her landmark role as Abby Cunningham on the CBS prime-time drama Knots Landing. Created by David Jacobs as a spin-off of Dallas, Knots Landing centered on four married couples living in Seaview Circle, a fictional suburb of Los Angeles, and became one of the longest-running prime-time series in network history.
Mills portrayed the scheming Abby Cunningham until 1989, establishing the character as one of nighttime television's iconic antagonists. Following her departure from Knots Landing, Mills continued acting through the 1990s and 2000s, including a prominent guest appearance on the Fox drama Melrose Place in 1996.
