Donna Mills is trading Seaview Circle for a new kind of spotlight.
The 85-year-old actress, best remembered for playing the conniving Abby Cunningham on CBS’ primetime soap opera “Knots Landing,” is launching an OnlyFans page, PEOPLE first reported. Ms. Mills said the subscription platform will let her share a more personal side of her life with longtime supporters, including behind-the-scenes moments from her decades-long career.
“It’s simply another platform to spend quality time with the people who’ve supported me,” Ms. Mills said in a statement, adding that she intends to stay “true to who I am” on the new account.
Andy Bachman, founder and chief executive of Creators Inc., a Los Angeles-based talent-management firm that works with OnlyFans creators, said the move reflects Ms. Mills’ willingness to embrace new opportunities while remaining authentic. “Donna has always been fearless and ahead of her time,” Bachman said, recounting that Ms. Mills greenlit the venture with a simple “YOLO — let’s do it.”
OnlyFans is a subscription-based platform that lets creators share exclusive content directly with paying followers. While the site has become closely associated with adult content, a growing number of entertainers, athletes and influencers have used it in recent months to post exclusive photos, videos and personal updates. Ms. Mills has not said publicly whether her page will include nude or sexually explicit material; her announcement centered on lifestyle content and fan interaction.
She joins a wave of Hollywood veterans who have turned to the platform this year. Actress Shannon Elizabeth, known for “American Pie,” reportedly earned more than $1.2 million in her first week on OnlyFans after launching an account in April, and “My Name Is Earl” star Jaime Pressly followed shortly after.
Ms. Mills began her television career in 1966 on “The Secret Storm” before starring on “Knots Landing” from 1980 to 1989. She later won a Daytime Emmy Award for her role on “General Hospital” and has appeared in recent films including “Nope” and “Origin.”
