Knots Landing star Donna Mills has revealed why she believes leaving something to the imagination can be sexier than being completely naked, as the actress embraces OnlyFans at 85. The veteran television star joined the subscription platform in July 2026 and has since received a range of unusual requests from subscribers, including one involving brushing her teeth.
However, Mills is taking a playful approach to her new venture, insisting that provocative content does not have to mean revealing everything. The actress, best known for playing Abby Ewing in the long-running American soap opera, initially joined the platform to connect with fans. Since launching her page, she has discovered that subscribers are interested in everything from her everyday activities to more unconventional requests.
Donna Mills Reveals Her Weirdest OnlyFans Requests
Mills discussed her experiences during an appearance on Nightline, revealing that some subscribers have requested surprisingly ordinary glimpses into her daily routine. Fans have asked to see her exercising on her Peloton, enjoying a cup of coffee and even stomping grapes.
'I do the Peloton, things of everyday life, having a cup of coffee', she said, adding that she was willing to fulfil a request to be filmed 'stomping grapes'. However, not every request has appealed to the actress. Mills revealed that some subscribers want to watch her brushing her teeth, but she has no intention of granting that particular wish.
'They say they like it when you brush your teeth–I'm not going to brush my teeth', she said. The actress also acknowledged that she has always had a mischievous side, suggesting that the platform gives her an opportunity to show a different aspect of her personality.
'Provocative, maybe? Spicy, maybe? Because I've always been a bit spicy', she said. Mills has approached the venture on her own terms, sharing glimpses of her everyday life alongside content designed to appeal to her audience. Her comments suggest that she sees OnlyFans as an opportunity to engage with fans while maintaining control over what she shares.
Why the Actress Believes a Little Mystery Is Sexier
For Mills, the appeal of OnlyFans lies in being able to connect with her audience while deciding how she wants to present herself. Rather than making complete nudity the focus, she believes suggestion can be just as enticing. 'I think it's sexier to not just be totally naked and have a little imagination about it', she said.
Her remarks highlight her preference for leaving some things unseen, challenging the assumption that content on the platform must involve explicit exposure. The actress has clarified that, in her view, being provocative does not necessarily mean revealing everything.
Mills previously admitted that she knew little about OnlyFans before representatives approached her about joining. Recalling the initial conversation, she said in an interview, 'I didn't know what OnlyFans was. I had no idea'. She said she asked her agent to explain the service and was told it was 'kind of an adult-only kind of thing' before agreeing to meet with its representatives.
Mills is not the only familiar Hollywood face to have joined the subscription platform. American Pie star Shannon Elizabeth, 52, has also signed up, explaining that she wanted to connect directly with her audience and create content on her own terms.
Mills has enjoyed a career spanning several decades, with roles extending well beyond her best-known television character. Alongside Knots Landing, she starred opposite Clint Eastwood in the 1971 crime thriller Play Misty for Me and appeared in Jordan Peele's 2022 horror film Nope.
Now, at 85, Mills is reaching audiences through an unexpected new venture while bringing her own personality to the platform. Her approach reflects a simple belief: a little mystery can be just as enticing as revealing everything.
