Sunday Profile: Donna Mills
Рет қаралды 226,113
Жыл бұрынYou might remember Donna Mills for her long-running role as the villainous Abby Cunningham on the prime-time soap opera "Knots Landing," or a damsel-in-distress in the Clint Eastwood thriller "Play Misty for Me." What you might not know is that Mills, co-starring in a new limited TV series, "V.C. Andrews' Dawn," is also a single mom, and an award-winning vintner who grows wine grapes in her own L.A. backyard. Correspondent Tracy Smith helps us get re-acquainted with the actress millions of fans loved to hate.

I look at Meg Ryan, Priscilla Presley, Melanie Griffith and you can see it, on this woman, I do not see it.

I've always been a huge fan of Donna's work, especially from the years she was on Knot's Landing. Whether you're a man or woman, you can't help but be inspired with what she has done with her life, especially after 50! She adopted her daughter at 54, took time off from a successful career to raise her, went back to work, opened a vineyard and continues to work,..and looks amazing all at the same time. You CAN have some of your best years after 50. You just have to DO it and prove the naysayers wrong!
