“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,” Mills, 85, said in a statement to Variety.
The Emmy winner, best known for playing Abby Cunningham on the primetime soap opera Knots Landing from 1980 to 1989, says she will be “sharing moments from my daily life, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and engaging with fans in a more meaningful way.”
“It’s simply another platform to spend quality time with the people who’ve supported me throughout my career while staying true to who I am,” she added.

“It is about giving her longtime fans more access to the personality, style and behind-the-scenes moments they already love,” Bachman continued. “Donna has always been fearless and ahead of her time. 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.”

In addition to Knots Landing, Mills guest-starred in Melrose Place, Nip/Tuck and General Hospital. She also appeared in Clint Eastwood’s Play Misty for Me, as well as NCIS and Doctor Odyssey.
Earlier this year, Mills went viral when she responded to a troll who told her: “You wear too much makeup for your age.”
“I like the way I look,” she fired back. “This is my style. And style doesn’t have an expiration date, does it?”
Mills the latest high-profile star to join OnlyFansMills hasn’t indicated what type of content she’ll be sharing, but she’ll be joining a growing list of celebrities on the subscription platform.
Scary Movie and American Pie star Shannon Elizabeth made headlines when she announced she was launching an OnlyFans page in April.
After her first week on OnlyFans, Elizabeth revealed that she had made more than what she earned starring in her most iconic films.

My Name Is Earl’s Jaime Pressly launched her own page the next month, telling Variety she’s “always believed in evolving with the times.”
“This is another way for me to connect directly with my audience, on my own terms, with creativity and intention. I’ve loved meeting fans at various Comic Cons, and the excitement of having those real face-to-face moments made me want to seek options like OnlyFans,” Pressly said about her decision to join OnlyFans.

Helfer says she joined the service so she can tap into the “sexier side of my brand.”
OnlyFans has been a hit with other high-profile creators, including Drea de Matteo, Iggy Azalea, Denise Richards, Carmen Electra, Cardi B, Bella Thorne, Lily Allen, Tyga, Chris Brown, and Harry Potter actress Jessie Cave.
De Matteo joined the network when she couldn’t find work as an actress after her refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
“It saved us,” she told the Daily Mail in 2024. “OnlyFans saved my life, 100%. I can’t believe I’m saying that, but it really did save us.”
