Donna Mills' Daily Fitness Routine
The former “Knots Landing” star says she begins each day with 100 sit-ups, 50 leg lifts, and a 45-minute to one-hour bike session. She adds that she plays tennis five times a week when her schedule permits. Mills attributes the discipline to her early ballet training, noting that “ballet is very hard” and that the work ethic “most people don’t have.”
OnlyFans Launch and Fan Interaction
At age 85, Mills opened an OnlyFans account, describing the platform as a way to give fans “behind-the-scenes” access that was unavailable during her television career. Creators Inc. reportedly told her the venture is “incredibly well” and generating “many six figures” early on. Subscribers have requested unconventional content, such as “barefoot grape-stomping” at her vineyard, and Mills says the page will be “spicy,” reflecting her long-standing personal brand.
Diet Choices and Snack Preference
Mills claims she has been “anti-sugar” since reading the book *Sugar Blues*, which critiqued the sugar industry. Despite this stance, she admits to being a “Doritos addict,” describing the snack as a “treat” that has followed her throughout her career.
Mills' Message on Aging
Her perspective links her fitness regimen, entrepreneurial venture, and personal indulgences into a broader narrative of continued relevance and self-determination in later life.
