Donna Mills is proving that it's never too late for a career shift.
The "Knots Landing" star, 85, announced her latest professional venture: an OnlyFans page.
“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 said in a statement to Variety on July 30.
The former soap opera actress, best known for playing Abby Cunningham on "Knots Landing," explained that the platform will allow her to share behind-the-scenes moments from her daily life and engage with fans in a more meaningful way. She did not indicate any plans to post
explicit or sexual content, despite the platform's association with adult creators.
"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 said.
USA TODAY has reached out to Mills' representative for further comment.
Andy Bachman, CEO of Creators Inc, said the OnlyFans page is not about reinventing herself. "It is about giving her longtime fans more access to the personality, style and behind-the-scenes moments they already love,” he said.
"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," Bachman continued.
'Harry Potter' actress Jessie Cave also turned to OnlyFans
Mills' reveal makes her the latest actor to make their OnlyFans debut.
British actress Jessie Cave, 39, known for playing Lavender Brown in three of the eight "Harry Potter" movies, announced in March 2025 that she would be joining the platform. She clarified that she would not post any pornography and told The Observer in an April article that she's never appeared nude on OnlyFans.
She clarified that OnlyFans is another form of acting that has been far more profitable for her than film or TV. "It's just a job, at the end of the day," Cave told the outlet.
In a September Substack essay, she said her presence on OnlyFans barred her from a recent "Harry Potter" fan convention, according to Us Weekly, and told The Observer that she relied on fan events like that for steady income.
Other actors to join the platform in 2026 include "My Name is Earl" star Jaime Pressly, 49, and "American Pie" star Shannon Elizabeth, 52.
