Donna Mills played Abby Fairgate Cunningham Ewing Sumner.

She was born on the 11TH of December, 1942.

In the last episode of Knots Landing, Abby moved back into the cul-de-sac, but when the series finished, Donna’s career was just taking off….

Since 1992, when the series was once and truly over, Donna Mills had lots to look forward to in her career, and still does, she’s a very talented actress, she has the beauty and the brains, to make any script come to life.

In her many films she has played them all, abused women, mothers on the run, she has even tackled alcohol issues in one of her own films she directed called “My Name Is Kate”.

Donna Mills is more than just an actress, she has directed and starred in many of her own films. Donna was diagnosed with Arthritis several years ago, and in 2000 she became a spokeswoman for B.E.A.T – which is an awareness group for the medical diagnosis.

Donna has no kids of her own, but she adopted her daughter Chloe in 1995, and to this day she loves being a mum as well as an actress.

As for future projects regarding film and tv heading Donna’s way – who knows, but I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of this wonderful actress. Donna tries to keep her private life private, so she doesn’t appear in papers or magazines much, but she currently sells her own beauty products range, entitled “The Eyes Have It”.
