Donna Mills returned to Hollywood at 82 after an 18-year disappearance.
The “Knots Landing” star raised an interracial girl alone that she adopted at 54.
Before becoming a single mother, Donna was “happily unmarried” with a longtime partner for years.
In February 2023, Donna Mills was 82 and back on screen after an 18-year break with a camera in the film “Nope.” She would also be in a leading role in the first series of television films based on the Cutler Family novels.
The star lived in Brentwood, Los Angeles, where she maintained good looks. Donna still had her iconic blond hair, still lush and complete, and although she didn’t opt much for cosmetic enhancement, she did use fillers.
The star said she used them because she didn’t want to “look like a duck.” Her grown-up daughter, Chloe Mills, then 28, was living with the legendary actress while working as a model, and in February 2023, Donna shared the latest photo of herself.
In an Instagram post, the actress shared an image of her alongside her daughter and another of her alone. The star revealed in the caption that she and her daughter, whom she called “bunny,” were in the Daily Mail, adding:
“She’s the best decision I’ve ever made… now that she’s all grown up, I couldn’t be happier to be back in-front of the camera.”
Fans were thrilled to see the actress’ latest image and her daughter. One person was surprised to see Donna’s photo and wanted to know if the pictures were taken 20 years before because the star hadn’t “changed a bit!!”
Someone else thought the mother-daughter pair were both “just stunning.” A third person believed Donna and Chloe were “blessed to have each other” because there was “no greater love than that,” while another fan thought the duo was “beautiful ladies” before noting how the actress had raised a “wonderful and talented lady.”
Did Donna Raise Chloe with a Man?
According to her IMDb account, Donna once had a long-term relationship with Richard Holland. An October 1986 magazine article revealed that the actress was “happily unmarried” by age 41 and was dating Holland.
The star and the writer-producer had been in a relationship for several years. In 1983, Donna, then 37, confessed that she always had a relationship, but during the past five years, she had been dating one person – Holland, then 31.
Hollan was an advertising executive and a screenwriter, and he was once a rock guitarist. Although the pair had been together for a long time, they lived in their two-bedroom houses, with the actress’s one in Beverly Hills.
Her home even had a terraced outdoor swimming pool, while Holland’s home was near Studio City and featured a hot tub. The “Knots Landing”...
