There are some actors you can never get enough of. Donna Mills is one of them. Now 85, she played the deliciously wicked Abby Cunningham on the nighttime soap Knots Landing. Crafty and charming, she was the villain you loved to hate - and sometimes hated to love. Mills made an indelible impression on audiences that has lasted to this day, even though Knots ended in 1993. She is ever the spitfire, boasting an OnlyFans account and effortlessly mesmerizing her fans. Maybe some of them wonder why Donna Mills never got hitched to her longtime beau, Larry Gilman?

She talked quite frankly about that intriguing aspect of her private life on Steve Kmetko's Still Here Hollywood podcast recently. The romantic pair have been together for 25 years.
"I Was Always So Independent"
MiIls said she has been an independent spirit all her life, too much so to trade in her precious autonomy for wedded bliss and traditional domesticity. She confessed to Steve Kmetko, "I was always so independent. I'm still very independent." The actress added, "I just didn't ever want to be subject to whatever you have to do when you get married. I also didn't want to say I was going to love somebody forever. I don't know if I would do that or not."
She explained a bit. "I am so freaking independent. I just am. I'm very independent and by the time Larry and I met we were both pretty established. To combine everything at that point is really difficult. So we just combined our lives but not our finances and stuff like that. It's much cleaner, much better."
Interestingly, Mills' daughter Chloe recently tied the knot herself and also had a baby. "It's funny because my daughter asked me that. My daughter just got married. And she just had a baby." MiIls adopted Chloe many years ago. Then Larry Gilman also came into her life as well.
Gilman Is Not Mills' First Long-Term Relationship
Before her involvement with Larry Gilman, Donna Mills was reportedly in an intermittent relationship with Richard Holland, according to Fox News Digital.They were an item for about two decades. Holland was the former husband of singer Chaka Khan.
