Donna Mills, best known for her role as Abby Ewing on the 1980s soap opera "Knots Landing," has launched an OnlyFans account at age 85, making her the oldest creator on the platform. Mills announced the move on July 31, 2026, saying she is using OnlyFans as a way to stay connected with her loyal fans.

In an interview with Variety published July 30, Mills reflected on her five-decade career, stating, “Honey, I’ve been in this business over 50 years … I’ve seen every trend come and go.” She expressed enthusiasm for the new platform, saying, “When something new comes along that lets me talk directly to the people who’ve stuck with me since ‘Knots Landing,’ why wouldn’t I jump in? My fans are going to see the real me: the good hair days, the bad hair days, and everything in between.”

Mills emphasized the personal nature of her OnlyFans content, revealing plans to share moments from her daily life, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and engage with fans more meaningfully. She described the platform as “simply another platform to spend quality time with the people who’ve supported me throughout my career while staying true to who I am.”

Andy Bachman, CEO of OnlyFans talent agency Creators Inc. and Mills’ manager, noted, “She’s spent five decades captivating audiences, and now she gets to do it without a script, a network, or anyone else’s rules.”

Mills also told Variety, “Life’s too short to sit on the sidelines. My fans have given me everything, and this is my way of letting them in a little closer.” She highlighted that while social media has been useful, OnlyFans offers a more personal and direct connection.

Mills rose to fame in the 1980s for her role on "Knots Landing," a spin-off of the hit series "Dallas." Her move to OnlyFans follows other celebrities joining the platform, such as Shannon Elizabeth, known for "American Pie," who reportedly earned $1 million in her first week.
