Above photo L – R of TV Producer Steve Taylor, our TV Show Host Margie Rey, Actress Donna Mills, and Entertainment News Reporter Jacqueline Murphy. When we interviewed the legendary TV Actress Donna Mills we all could not believe how young she looked- since she is now 83 years old, but looked like a beautiful young women still in her early 40s or late 30s!
You can compare her current above photos with all of our news team and Donna, and her posing for photos on the red carpet, to the below photo from about 38 years ago, from when I meet her on the USC campus, when she visited the fraternity house for a party in her honor. This was during the time when she was still staring on the hit TV series: Knots Landing. It’s amazing how she can still look that young and beautiful:
Donna Mills (born Donna Jean Miller; December 11, 1940) is an actress that began her television career in 1966 with a recurring role on The Secret Storm, and in the same year appeared on Broadway in Woody Allen’s comedy Don’t Drink the Water. She made her film debut the next year in The Incident. She then starred for three years on the soap opera Love is a Many Splendored Thing (1967–70), before starring as Tobie Williams, the girlfriend of Clint Eastwood’s character in the 1971 cult thriller Play Misty for Me. Mills played the female lead in the heist film Murph the Surf (1975), and had starring roles in a number of made-for-television movies during the 1970s.
In 1980, Mills landed the role of Abby Cunningham on the primetime soap opera Knots Landing, and was a regular on the show until 1989. For this role, she won the Soap Opera Digest Award for Outstanding Villainess three times, in 1986, 1988, and 1989. Knots Landing was a successful Emmy Winning, hit prime time television soap opera/drama: that aired on CBS for 14 seasons- from December 27, 1979, to May 13, 1993, as a spin-off of “Dallas,” it was set in a fictitious coastal suburb of Los Angeles and initially centered on the lives of four married couples living on a cul-de-sac, Seaview Circle. Throughout its 14-year run, story lines included marital strife, rape, murder, kidnapping, assassinations, drug smuggling, politics, addictions, environmental issues, corporate intrigue, and criminal investigations. By the time of its conclusion, it had become the third-longest-running prime time drama on U.S. television after Gunsmoke and Bonanza! I was able to meet Donna again, on location when she was filming Knots Landing, as you can see below. This is another photo from about 38 years ago, that you can compare her to, to proof that the way she looks now is not that much different from almost 4 decades ago- she is ageless: 
The below 2 photos are when Steve and Margie meet Donna in the after-party for this year’s Movie Guide Awards: 
She has since starred in several TV movies, including The World’s Oldest Living Bridesmaid (1990), Dangerous Intentions (1995), The Stepford Husbands (1996), Ladies of the House (2008) and Ladies of the ’80s: A Divas Christmas (2023). In 2014, she joined the cast of the long-running daytime soap opera General Hospital as Madeline Reeves, for which she won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Guest Performer in a Drama Series. In 2023, she starred in the Lifetime limited series V.C. Andrews’ Dawn. Mills also appeared in the films Joy (2015), Nope (2022) and Origin (2023).
