Actress Donna Mills has something to say to critics who tell her she wears too much makeup for an 85-year-old.
One person commented on her post, “You wear too much makeup for your age.
“Oh, this comment,” Mills said in a video while pointing at the critical remark that was displayed above her. “I guess I didn’t get the memo.”
In the video, the KNOTS LANDING actress wears a wavy wig and lots of makeup. The next scene cuts to Mills looking like a grandma with a grey wig pulled into a bun, a high neck collar and glasses.
“Did you want me to look like this?” she asked. “Sorry, not sorry.”
She added, “I like the way I look. This is my style, and style doesn’t have an expiration date.”
“I said what I said,” Mills wrote in the caption.

Her friends backed her up.
“Most of those comments are from dusty old women who are jealous of your beauty Donna lol!” En Vogue singer Dawn Robinson wrote. “They hate that you disagree with aging and instead choose youth and confidence! Keep being FABULOUS.”
“I love this so much,” THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS star Kyle Richardson commented.
The KNOTS LANDING star does her own makeup. She learned from industry makeup artist.
“I just learned from them,” Mills said. “I found out what they did, how they did it. And so I started to implement it myself. And believe me, it takes me less time to do it than it takes somebody else.”
“It’s one of my things,” she continued. “I can’t sit still for that long, kind of, you know, in the chair having somebody work on me. It just drives me nuts. So I’d rather do it at home, do it myself, I have my little TV I can watch, and I’m entertained while I’m doing it, so it’s better for me.”
Mills was an honored guest at this year’s Movieguide® Awards Gala. On the red carpet, she revealed her health plan for 2026.
“The only thing I’m gonna do is workout more. I always work out,” she said, adding that she does 150 sit-ups every day.
On March 15, Mills gave a mini-tutorial for highlighter.
“Back in the 90s, the look was flat matte…but I really like this glowy dewey new look,” she said.
“Spotlight glow, simplified. ✨ For mature skin, after you finish your makeup, dot highlighter on the apple of the cheeks, tip of nose and chin” she wrote in the caption. ‘This trick wakes up the whole face. Skin first, sparkle second.”
Though Mills has some haters, most of her comments are positive. In one video, a fan commented, “You could still play a 50 year old on tv! 😍😍😍”
Another commented, “This woman is 85 years old. Absolutely stunning.🌹🔥”
Mills proves that confidence wins over criticism every time.
