Veteran actress Donna Mills, best known for her role as Abby Cunningham on the classic series Knots Landing, is proving that age need not limit an active lifestyle. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 85‑year‑old shared the details of the demanding fitness regimen that keeps her moving.
Daily workout routine
Mills said she begins each day with 100 sit‑ups and 50 leg lifts, followed by a thorough stretching session. She also spends 45 minutes to an hour on a stationary bike and, when weather permits, plays tennis up to five times a week. “I have a ballet barre in my little gym,” she explained, noting that her early training as a ballerina instilled a work ethic that still guides her.
Nutrition choices
While disciplined about her diet, Mills admits she remains a “Doritos addict.” She acknowledges the snack isn’t healthy, but says she enjoys it as an occasional treat. “I’ve always been anti‑sugar,” she added, citing a book called Sugar Blues that influenced her decision to cut back on sweets.
New venture on OnlyFans
In addition to her fitness focus, Mills launched an OnlyFans account at 85, describing it as a way to connect directly with fans and share behind‑the‑scenes moments from her life. The platform has reportedly generated significant interest, with creators reporting strong early earnings.
Message for older women
Mills hopes her story will inspire other women to view later life as a new chapter rather than an ending. “I’d like to show people, especially women, that it doesn’t have to be over. It’s just a new chapter,” she said. Her blend of disciplined exercise, balanced indulgence, and modern entrepreneurship offers a fresh example of active aging.
