Find out more from the charming and fun Ms Mills in her conversation with Rob Word in this episode of A WORD ON WESTERNS, recorded April 16, 2019 at The Autry.

WOW , Donna Mills, what a Sweet, Beautiful, Intelligent, Talented Lady!! 78 years old? No, she looks, sounds, and acts 20 years younger AT LEAST!!!! Great guest, thank you Rob for bringing us that one!!
What a fantastic interview with a classy, classy lady! Thank you, Rob.
Rob Word is, about, the best interviewer, that I've ever seen. He doesn't interrupt his guests but knows when and what to say to bring out the best, in the interviewee.
Tony Hemingway Thanks. It helps to have captivating, and fun, guests like Donna.
What a beautiful woman in every way. Great interview.
Donna Mills . . . Seriously one of the prettiest actresses who ever hit Hollywood. And wow--she still looks great. Those eyes melted me every time I saw her!
She is almost 80 years old. How in the hell does she look so young? Still beautiful!
HE is almost 80 himself. Talk about defying time.
Donna Mills looks so beautiful! I love that she’s a natural beauty. I use to watch Love is a many splendid thing when I was young. Great interview!
Donna mills is a very talented actress,and Morgan Woodward I miss very much.He fit every role he played....RIP.
Another delightful interview with a lovely guest who shared so much about her behind the scenes experiences with great actors.
Another GREAT one Rob. My G-d she still looks fantastic. My first TV gig in LA was 24 episodes on Knots Landing playing her attorney. She was wonderful to work with and spend time with. After we shot our first scene together she turned to the producer and asked if we could have an affair. I turned and said " and I don't care if it's on camera or off". It never happened.
That was a very good gunsmoke episode . Morgan was a great character actor too.
Wow, I don't remember making this comment, but I agree.
I always felt sorry for James Stacy, but also admired him for his courage and resilience at the same time.
"What this? (looks at missing leg and arm) This is just an inconvenience." Yes I admired him as well!
Me too from france
I live in Carmel now and am still amazed at the landscape.
Must b nice 2b a billionaire
Madmanmarque One of the most beautiful places on earth. I’m glad you don’t take it for granted by seeing it every day. I moved from CA to NC years ago and miss the opportunity to drive the Coast Hwy. and see the incredible beauty.
Cool interview! Play Misty For Me was always one of my favorite movies! Donna Mills is a class act, lovely person.
Wow she seems so genuine and im impressed!
I was always in love with Donna Mills, oh, those eyes.....and a fine actress.
I so love this longer format. You have the time to get the in-depth stories that mean so much. Donna looks wonderful and hearing about Clint Eastwood is always intriguing. The “forgotten show”, and like Donna, I no not recall that show with Rod Taylor at all. Donna is right, “you know everything “. Thank you for another great interview. Please keep them coming, Rob.
A classy lady who has retained the qualities that must have contributed to her popularity
in her career.
It was great to hear Donna swoon over the guys! Old school. lol. She's still beautiful, too. Great segment with Donna Mills! I certainly remember her!
Donna Mills, beautiful inside and out! Classy lady!
Another solid show. The utube is great to be able to spend the time with your guests. Rob you are as sharp as a tack, you are so knowledgeable. Good job Rob thanks.
I want to thank WOW for the interview with Robert Forster. I was really shocked by his passing. I was very glad I had the chance to watched his interviews. And also with Morgan Woodward. Happy I found you Rob Word.
Amazing show Rob, the amount of information and knowledge you share is fantastic. I look forward to all the memories you bring alive. Thank you!
Rob I really loved your interview with Donna Mills. She is such a lovely lady and I have been a big fan of her movies for a long time !
Thanks, Linda. She was/is amazing.
Always great to hear about Clint.
Wow this is terrific stuff. Love hearing all these old stories.
She was 78-years-old here. Damn, she looks fantastic!
Thanks for another great interview Rob with a wonderful lady.
OMG she hasn't changed a bit. What a beauty.
vintagestrings6 This was awhile ago BUT I saw a video just in 2019 and SHE is very very beautiful still! A very classy lady.
Charlotte Vale As it says in our description, this interview was shot April 2019 and Donna still looks damn fine!
@@AWordonWesterns She was born or had lived a couple of miles from my mother in laws house.
Donna Mills and Lynda Carter were the HOTTEST WOMAN then and still are!!! When their shows aired, I had a front row seat in front of the tv, and you better not disturb me!!!
I keep remembering a brunette of that time named Connie Selleca - gorgeous. Ended up in Playboy (sadly, in my stodgy opinion).
Yet another incredible interview, Mr Word!
The applause for you (at 13:27) needed to be a standing-O.
Just Me Thanks. You are very kind, or is it just me?
@@AWordonWesterns
Ha ha!
Pretty as ever! So fun to hear about the friendships, and being young and new to Hollywood! Thank you for sharing!!!
Great show! I think it would cut out a lot of the crazy we have in the world if they still made TV like this!
Thanks Rob for another great video, and thanks for helping keep the "old west" alive.
Great interview Rob! What a lovely woman , seems so down to earth.
Great interview Rob! Donna seems so down to earth and a lovely, classy lady.
I love Donna Mills. She is still as beautiful as ever.
Always a pleasure to hear from Rob Word and his "A Word On Westerns." Thanks again Mr. Word for allowing me to sit in on on set!!
Rob, sir westerns have been done by Bollywood, Tollywood , Sandlwood, even by Iranians during the Shah era, I have seen Turkish and even a Russian western. Westerns are particularly American and yet popular in every culture, country, you name it. It says something about America and it’s appeal and lure to all of humanity.
She is amazing for her age still very beautiful.
Donna has aged well! "Like a fine wine" hubba hubba.
Changing gears, I would LOVE to see an interview with Clint Eastwood! But I don't know if he would do it.
If even you didn’t appreciate Spaghetti Westerns, Clint Eastwood made you love them.
I was like that.
Gonna be a sad day for me when *CLINT* leaves us.
Say When ~~~~
I agree 100%. Clint is an institution and I doubt there will ever be another of his caliber again.
--or maybe a not such a sad day for him when we do...
…. Clint's still directing at 89, mebbe he'll out-live all of us … ?
Go see Clint’s new film, RICHARD JEWELL. It won’t disappoint! He made a fantastic movie which seems like it was made by a very experienced, young director.
@@AWordonWesterns I'm gonna do just that, THANKS !
Rob - your Turquoise neck piece is GORGEOUS, but not QUITE as gorgeous as Miss MIlls! What a great interview!!!!!
Hank Austin A gift from Morgan Woodward.
Great interview, Rob, as always. Enjoyed actually meeting the lovely Donna Mills when you did the Morgan Woodward tribute. Wonderful lady !
She’s still so beautiful! Love all your interviews! Thank You!
A great guest! Donna is still a classy lady!
Once of your best interviews, Donna was great!
She is still a stunner.
Clint Eastwood was so drop-dead gorgeous in Play Misty, that if I were her, I wouldn't have been able to concentrate on anything else.
I try to watch as many as I can but you’re always coming up with ones I never heard of You are so sharp and boy what a memory!!
Donna is still a looker.
Donna Mills must have lived a good life to look so beautiful at this age...it is kind of hard to believe...she seems quite nice too....which is more important!
You got two of my favorites stars You talk to one Donna Mills and talk about Clint Eastwood
Another great video!! Every single video in your series of these seems to be "The Best" one! I've loved them all! Donna Mills is such a sweet woman, not to mention Beautiful! Thanks for another Best video Rob!
Donna Mills was, is, and, I suppose, always will be very vain. The audience was clapping for her host, she raised her hand, and they stopped! Immediately! The applause was not for her, so she stopped it. Very vain.
Oh my goodness, she's 80 years old
Another Great Show,,, Rob Is Simply The Best,,, He "Makes" You Remember,,, What You Already Had Forgotten,,,,
Wonderful interview with the very beautiful Donna Mills, Rob. I've been an admirer of hers ever since seeing her at the theater in PLAY MISTY FOR ME. A truly beautiful woman, Donna Mills is also a very gifted actress. Thank you Rob, and thank Ms. Mills for this wonderful interview!
Well done! Wonderful! Great ! Another interview with so good things in it! Please keep going with this don't stop for nothing 😊
Donna Mills! Still gorgeous!
I have a dog just like that. I watch all western , and now Bentley want supper
She is gorgeous!! ❤️
I think I'm still in love with Donna Mills !
She was recommended by Burt Reynolds to Clint Eastwood ? God lord!! It’s like Zeus recommending Athena to Apollo. The gods of cinema picked her!
Enjoyed the interview with Ms. Mills. I used to watch Wyatt Earp with Mr. Woodward and like the chemistry of Roscoe and Mr. Woodward.
Wow! She is the best looking 78 year old (woman or man) that I've ever seen! What's your secret, Donna?
She is 78??? WOW she is beautiful.
78? Wow!
Hi Rob, Benson here... Another GREAT interview! Tremendously talented and lovely young lady. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much again wow Knew her for knots landing but did not know she played in the westerns and play misty loved that movie but did not know it was her
Donna mills wow absolutly stunning
Donna Mills looks great all the time.
@@harperstacey9604 she does absolutly
@@tombankwel4822 Donna Mills took great care of herself. She watched what she ate, she didn't drink or smoke and lived a clean healthy life.
I have never smoked but a glass of Nice redwine from italy thats Nice
Could she be any nicer, more personable or more attractive than she is?
Always had a crush on her. She has aged wonderfully.
Rob, you showed great restraint, only kissing her cheek, when every man alive would want to go full lip lock on such a beautiful legend!!! Lol, thanks for bringing these great interviews to us!!!
What a great interview and gunsmoke one of the most seen show laredo bonansa just great city heat Clint and burt a western in gangster Chicago
Great interview as usual Rob. You mentioned Wayne Maunder, I always liked him in the roles he played, Custer etc. sadly he passed away in 2018.
So glad historically these interviews are getting done before so much is lost.
Thanks, David. We may be back in production this November at the Autry!! Yee ha!
WOOOOW!!!! Donna Mills' still looks amazing and has such a rich history with all of the great ones from the past who most have sadly passed away.. Rob Word, this is a awesome interview. Thanks for your You Tube channel and the Autry museum.
I remember her from everything except The Oregon Trail, she's still a knockout!! GREAT stories Rob, as always! It was quite a dramatic role for Morgan Woodward on the Gunsmoke episode too. Take Care My Cowboy Friend!
Always loved her, still do!
Great interview Rob, loved every minute of it. Keep em coming.
Augie and Jill Blase
Good lord! She is almost 79 years old!
When it shows the still of Harry Carey Jr., from Young Maverick, he's sitting next to James Woods!
Yeah I spotted that too! ;
I wondered how many people would spot him. Congratulations!🎊🎈🎉
I remember that two-part Gunsmoke with Morgan Woodward, but I was only able to see the second half which covered the trial. If memory serves me correctly, Whitney Blake played the murdered wife. I only know this because she was in a recap scene which was played at the beginning of the second episode, and I recalled her as playing the mom in the first season of Hazel. I don't remember Donna Mills being in that two-part Gunsmoke, probably because she was a newcomer at the time, so there was no other work I could tie her to (funny how the mind works). I'll say this much though; she looks fabulous and about 20 years younger than I discovered she actually is. Thankfully, my wife is aging the same way. Must be clean living (she, not I).
That's one of my very favorite two part episodes of Gunsmoke.
Great interview , thanks
Another great interview, Rob. We really appreciate your work, and your encyclopedic knowledge of TV and Film!
Another great show thanks RW!
WOW! She looks fantastic!
Thanks so much for these wonderful shows! Its SO much better than TV! Even though,, i grew up watching TV and all those great westerns that you show here,,, TV just ain't the same anymore,, Donna Mills looks amazing and i hope she keeps making things for us to see, Thanks again for all the people you bring onto your stage. They are AWESOME! :)
Hey Rob I love westerns. I watch you all the time. I would love to be an extra in the next movie or a bad guy
Play Misty For Me still holds up as a great thriller….much better than Fatal Attraction
Great interview!
I always liked Morgan Woodward. he always looked and felt like he belonged in a setting or time period.
Thanks, CAM. Morgan could do it all.
James Stacy was a gorgeous man! He did not seem haughty or unkind!!!!
I would love to see Donna Mills doing some more westerns. Especially if her and Sam Elliott could get together and do some westerns together that would be awesome and have Clint eastwood-directed them
Thanks for these awesome interviews. I worked in the movie industry for 20 years. Sadly I only got to work on one western (Hard Ground) - but it did have Burt Reynolds and Bruce Dern: great men and Dern was always quite the character and extremely generous. We'd have these lotteries where everyone put $5 into a bucket with our names on them. Dern would always drop a couple $100 bills in the bucket. Burt bought all the crew hats with the name of the show and his name stitched on the back.
Nice memories. Thanks, briggs
I remember Mills and Chalrson playing sisters on Love is a Many Splendored Thing.....but I couldnt remember the name of the show...I was a teenager then! 65 now! Lol, both made an impression on me...
Me too, Mark..I loved that soap.
@@sandrasanders706 , me too! Had almost forgotten it! Lol...
thanks again for the fun interview, wish I could be there to see these in person... but.... I'm retired here in your old stomping grounds, Tampa :)
Our pleasure, fish. Yep, that's where I started...watching TV and movies at an early age!
she will be 80 this year. how can she look so good? still cute as can be .and it'd appear that she's resisted plastic surgery, and all that bullshit. I love you, Donna.
80??!! No way!
@@LostMyMojo100 wikipedia has her born in 1940
@@tonym994 ...yeah, I checked.... STILL a looker!!!
Your video's are great , thank you ,Cheers!
Still gorgeous.
A charming lady
