Donna Mills, the 85-year-old Knots Landing
alumna, revealed on an October 2026 episode of ABC’s “Nightline” that she routinely rejects bizarre fan requests on OnlyFans, specifically declining demands to film herself brushing her teeth.
The soap opera veteran joined the adult subscription platform in July 2026 after announcing her venture in a statement to Variety. Since then, her subscriber base has grown steadily, driven largely by everyday lifestyle content rather than explicit material.
While she films videos of herself using her Peloton and shares morning routines, some followers push boundaries with unusual tasks.
Just, you know, they’re the things of everyday life: having a cup of coffee, you know. They say they like it when you brush your teeth … I’m not going to brush my teeth.

Mills Rejects Fan Demands
Mills maintains strict personal boundaries regarding what she will post. During her interview with ABC News correspondent Kayna Whitworth, she noted that her male subscribers often hope for spicier content associated with the platform. She remains firm that her page is not about explicit adult media and never was.
Her content strategy relies on subtlety and nostalgia. Reflecting on her time as a Playboy model, she pointed to a specific aesthetic preference.
One of the pictures in Playboy, which I think is one of the sexiest things, is me in the shower, in a dress.

When Whitworth asked her if most of her subscribers are men, Mills replied, I think so. Yeah. Sometimes you don’t know.
She also noted that her exact follower breakdown remains unclear to her, though she believes a large portion consists of women who find inspiration from watching her take control of her life and show that a happy existence continues past certain ages.
Donna Mills Earns Six Figures in First Month
Financial gains from the platform generated discussion after Creators Inc. CEO Andy Bachman revealed during an August 24 episode of the Creators Inc. Podcast
that Mills had generated many six figures during her first month. Bachman noted that Mills called him to declare she was in without any hesitation.
However, HELLO!
Well, they’ve done a little bit of pushing, and I just say no, because sometimes they sort of doctor pictures. They’ve done it a little but I haven’t let them use the ones that they send – they have to send them to me first. Then I go, ‘no, mm mm.’

Mills enters her late eighties with the backing of her family. Her daughter Chloe, whom she adopted in 1994, and her partner of 25 years, Larry Gilman, both encouraged her to launch the venture. According to HELLO!, her daughter assured her she was not going to do anything salacious or embarrassing. Mills also became a grandmother in 2025.
Actors Joining the Subscription Platform
Mills is part of a wider wave of actors establishing subscription pages. Jessie Cave told The Observer that the platform is ultimately a job, though a Substack essay revealed her presence barred her from a fan convention.
For Mills, the primary motivation remains direct audience connection. She explained to Bachman on his podcast that her followers want to know what she does during the day when she is home, bridging a gap that never existed during her peak television career in the 1980s and 1990s.
