Knot's Landing vet Donna Mills, 83, was a pinup who worked with Clint Eastwood, see her now

Donna Mills was one of the hottest blondes in the 1980s.

And the 83-year-old actress still looks incredible as she was seen at the The Six Triple Eight LA Tastemaker event in West Hollywood on December 5.

This blonde beauty came to fame opposite Clint Eastwood in the classic 1971 film Play Misty For Me.

Shen then later was one of the highlights of the series Knot's Landing.

The star took a break in the 1990s from work to raise her daughter, but has been acting again. 

She was in the show Ladies Of The '80s with Linda Gray, Loni Anderson, Nicollette Sheridan and Morgan Fairchild.

Last year the actress told First For Women what some of her tricks are to keep her Hollywood shape.

The beauty noted that carbs are out - so that's a no to cinnamon rolls and bagels.

'I love bread, I love dessert, I love ice cream and all those things, but carbs make me put on pounds so I try to avoid them,' began Mills. 'As a dancer eating protein was the way I had to eat.'

But she has found a way to enjoy some sweets: 'I found a great Keto book and began to make some low and no sugar desserts out of it and they’re delicious.'

She also shared what she fixes herself for dinner.

'I also make spaghetti squash instead of pasta,' noted Donna.

'I make my own out of fresh squash but you can buy it already made. I sauté a little garlic and butter then put that over it with a little Parmesan cheese. It’s divine and satisfying.'

Mills also shared what she does when she gets sleepy in the afternoon.

'At around 4 o’clock in the afternoon I get sleepy all of a sudden I’m yawning I don’t like to drink coffee then because I won’t be able to sleep at night so I get out into the fresh air and take a brisk walk even just 10 minutes,' said the pinup.

'It wakes me up and refreshes me.'

And she reaches for the water instead of a soda.

'Staying hydrated is also important for energy I never used to be aware of this I could go all day without drinking water but I began to realize that isn’t good for me,' said Mills.

'Now I drink about two large bottles a day I’d like to put a little lemon in the water for a little flavor or when exercising I add an electrolyte additive.' 

In October 2023 she told AARP - The Magazine how she she stays young looking.

'At age 60, 70, later, you have so much more to contribute—don't just sit down and say, "I'm done,"' shared the screen icon.

And she talked diet too.

'During the soap-opera years I never ate pasta, sugar, bread, ice cream, cookies or any of that kind of stuff,' said Donna.

'Now I eat, but I'm still careful,' she added. 'I'm not a vegetarian, but I grow, pick and eat a lot of vegetables,' she noted.

'I also play tennis three times a week and work out with light weights. Like almost everyone my age I have arthritis, and let me tell you, it hurts sometimes.'

The Emmy winner has also ap­peared in the Jordan Peele thriller Nope, and stars in a Life­time movie series, V.C. Andrews Dawn Cutler Series, to be released in 2023.  

Mills became a first-time mother at the age of 54 when she adopted her baby daughter Chloe in 1994.  

'I was single, I was 54, and I badly wanted to be a mother,' said the star.

'It was not a tough decision to adopt. So I stopped working for many years while Chloe [now 28, a model and an ex­ecutive at Soho House] was in school, and it was exactly the right thing to do.'

Romance came later, she said.

'I met [actor and producer] Larry Gilman at age 60. I lucked out. Before him, I kind of went for the bad boys. But when I met him, I just knew I was going for the not-bad boy,' she said.

The star said she keeps in touch with her Knot's Landing costars too. 

'Joan Van Ark and Michele Lee are still dear friends 40 years after we starred in Knots Landing. We even get together for the fans. And some show up wearing that dramatic eye makeup like my character, Abby!'

She shared that playing the villain on Knot's Landing cost her friends. 

She played scheming vixen Abby Fairgate on the Dallas spinoff Knots Landing from 1980 to 1989.

'Back in the Knots Landing days, a lot of women were really standoffish to me in real life. I couldn't figure out why. Then I realized it was my character. They thought I was going to take their husband!'

As far as her future, she wants to work more.

'I'm in my third act and was recently cast in a new movie as a vicious, sadistic grandmother. And that's what I really want next, a whole series—like Succession, which I love—where I can be evil to my heart's content!' she said.

During the interview with People, the Chicago native also shared some of her tips for maintaining her ageless beauty.

'I usually work out every day,' the octogenarian said. 'Having been a dancer, I have my ballet bar in a little gym upstairs, and I just got a Peloton for my birthday.'

She added, 'I do weight training and a lot of stretching.'

As to her diet, Donna explained, 'I've always been a healthy eater. I don't eat sugar. I don't eat pasta. I don't do starches.'

She continued, 'I eat mostly proteins and vegetables. I love vegetables, which I grow — kale and arugula, tomatoes. My greatest pleasure in life is eating it right off the vine. I'm not a good cook. The only thing that I make that's good is cheesecake.'

Donna told People, 'For skin care, the main thing is stay out of the frickin' sun! It makes such a difference. And somebody asked me, 'Why don't you get [cosmetic enhancements]?' No, because I'm not going to look like a duck. I'd rather have lines than a duck bill."
