'Knots Landing' star Donna Mills says she won't 'be quiet' after critic targeted her makeup at age 85

Donna Mills, 85, tells Tamron Hall why she clapped back at a makeup critic, saying her viral message is really about empowering all women as they age.
HOLLYWOOD ICON SLAMS AGEIST HATE
The entertainment world is reeling after a legendary Hollywood actress delivered a stunning rebuke to ageist bullies! At 85 years young, Donna Mills, the glamorous star of "Knots Landing," refuses to be silenced by cowardly online trolls who dare to dictate how women should look.
DEFANT BEAUTY REIGNS SUPREME
Mills, known for her radiant screen presence, recently went viral after a critic dared to attack her for wearing "too much makeup for your age." Her response? A brilliant, defiant video where she playfully transformed into a stereotypical elderly woman before proudly declaring, "Sorry, not sorry."
She sent a powerful message: "Style doesn't have an expiration date." The internet erupted in applause, with stars like Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer showering her with praise. This isn't just about makeup; it's a battle cry against a culture that seeks to diminish women.
A SHOUT AGAINST SYSTEMIC SHAME
Mills revealed that the attack wasn't just personal; it was a symptom of a larger problem. "It's about women in general and the way women feel about themselves," she stated, refusing to accept the narrative that aging means fading away.
She declared, "I'm not going to be quiet about it." Her bravery is inspiring a nation, reminding us that women over 70, 80, and beyond are vibrant, healthy, and deserving of living life to the fullest, not hiding in shame.
FAITH LENS
The Word of God teaches us that true beauty comes from within and that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made. Proverbs 31 celebrates the virtuous woman, highlighting her strength, wisdom, and diligence, not her adherence to fleeting worldly standards of appearance. Donna Mills' courageous stand echoes this truth, reminding us to embrace God's creation in all its seasons and to guard our hearts against the corrosive whispers of negativity and judgment.
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
— John 8:32
