Donna Mills has found a surprising new way to connect with fans, and apparently, they’re more than willing to pay for it. The General Hospital alum joined OnlyFans at 85, and after just one month, she has reportedly earned “many six figures.” But what her subscribers actually want from the soap and primetime legend may be the most unexpected part of the story.
Key Takeaways
- Donna Mills has reportedly earned “many six figures” during her first month on OnlyFans.
- The 85-year-old actress says subscribers are interested in her everyday life and getting to know her.
- Mills joined the platform to create a more personal connection with longtime fans.
Donna Mills Is Doing OnlyFans Her Way
Mills, who played Madeline Reeves on GH and famously starred as Abby Cunningham on Knots Landing, discussed her OnlyFans success on the platform’s Creators Inc. podcast.
Creators Inc. CEO Andy Bachman revealed just how lucrative the experiment has already become, telling Mills that she is doing “incredibly well” and has earned “many six figures” despite being relatively new to the platform.
That’s impressive at any age. At 85, Mills is also proving there isn’t necessarily an expiration date on finding a brand-new audience or a new way to reach the one you already have.
And Mills apparently approached the opportunity with an attitude soap fans can appreciate. Bachman previously recalled her reaction to joining: “YOLO — let’s do it.”
What Her OnlyFans Subscribers Really Want
If the words “Donna Mills joins OnlyFans” conjure up a particular kind of content, think again.
Mills says her subscribers want something very different. “They just want to be friends,” she explained. Fans want glimpses of her home and everyday routine and a more personal look at the woman they’ve watched on television for decades.
Some requests are admittedly more unusual. Mills has fulfilled a request to stomp grapes with her bare feet and said some subscribers would like to see her without makeup when she wakes up or goes to bed. She hasn’t decided whether she’s ready to go quite that far.
Mills Is Still Finding New Ways to Surprise Fans
Mills originally joined OnlyFans because she wanted a more direct relationship with the people who have supported her career.
“The support and encouragement my fans have shown me over the years has meant the world to me,” she previously said.
After decades in Hollywood, Mills isn’t trying to reinvent herself. Instead, she’s betting that fans want more of the person they already know and love. Considering those “many six figures,” it certainly looks like she was right.
