The post quickly attracted the attention of people on Instagram. Fans and social media users alike were quick to notice her pearly white teeth and left comments on the post.

"Everyone has some really white teeth," one user remarked, while another inquired, "Who did y'all's teeth?" A third person added, "The teeth on three of them are like spotlights."

Beyond the immediate allure of her outfit and smile, Mills' followers were also captivated by her ageless beauty. Comments such as "Looking good Donna," "You're amazing Donna," and "Queen Donna Mills looks stunning and alluring as usual," filled her post.

Mills' journey to stardom is as captivating as her roles on screen. Born and raised in Chicago, she initially harbored dreams of becoming a dancer but ultimately found her calling on the stage and television.

Mills is known for starring in soap operas like "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" and "The Secret Storm." She also appeared in "Dan August," "Play Misty for Me," and "Knots Landing," securing her status as one of television's most memorable villains.

During those days, the actress maintained a disciplined approach to health and wellness. "I never ate pasta, sugar, bread, ice cream, cookies, or any of that kind of stuff," she revealed. "I would have maybe half a glass of wine. Now I eat, but I’m still careful. I’m not a vegetarian, but I grow, pick, and eat a lot of vegetables."

Now at 82, Mills approaches life with a vigor and zest that belies her years. When asked about her secret to maintaining her appearance, she shared, "Oh, it's hard!" Emphasizing resilience, she said, "You just have to say, 'I'm gonna do it anyway.'"

Mills' philosophy towards aging is as inspiring as her career, aiming to make the latter years of life fulfilling and active. "The hard part is that, you know, it's the last chapter. And I don't want to go away. So, I'm hanging on as long as I can, and trying to be as much as I can be for as long as I can be," she added.

As for retiring any time soon, Mills has no interest. Most recently, Donna Mills' daughter, Chloe, got engaged and is set to start a new chapter in her life.
