Morgan Fairchild credits Donna Mills with helping her decide to join OnlyFans.
“My friend Donna Mills had tried this and sort of explained to me what they were trying to do,” Fairchild tells EW of Creators Inc, an OnlyFans management agency that represents both Mills and Fairchild on the platform.
Fairchild says that while the platform “got taken over by a bit more of a salacious group,” she’s excited to create a space for fans to “reach out to the celebrities that they like in whatever genre.”
You can thank Donna Mills for Morgan Fairchild’s OnlyFans experiment.
The legendary star of primetime soaps like Falcon Crest and Flamingo Road made waves last week when she announced she’d joined the subscription-based content sharing platform.
The 76-year-old already shares quite a bit about her personal life and professional exploits across social media and on her podcast, 2 Bitches From Texas, which she hosts with her sister Cathryn Hartt. But OnlyFans is best known as a platform for the sharing of adult content, even though all sorts of videos, photos, and text-based posts are shared there daily.
Mills, 85, generated similar intrigue by announcing her intention to join OnlyFans in July. And in conversation with Entertainment Weekly after her own announcement, Fairchild reveals that it was Mills’ assurance that she wouldn’t have to do “anything she didn’t feel comfortable with” that helped her get from no, to maybe, to yes.

“I have always had this approach to the business, that every five years you have to introduce yourself to a new generation. That’s one reason I took the job on Friends, playing Chandler’s mom. I knew it was geared to a younger audience,” Fairchild says. “You’re always evolving in the business, and of course, the business has changed so drastically in the last 10 years.”
That’s what led the ‘80s TV queen to a transformative phone call with her fellow ‘80s TV queen. “My friend Donna Mills had tried this and sort of explained to me what they were trying to do. And then I had a nice, long Zoom chat with the whole roster of people from Creators Inc,” she explains.

Creators Inc is a talent management firm that specializes in OnlyFans content creation. The company is behind some of the high-profile sign-ups in the platform’s history, from Denise Richards and Shannon Elizabeth to Mills and now Fairchild.
“Basically what they are trying to do is that, OnlyFans originally started as a way for people to reach out to their fans. It was like athletes and dancers and artists and all kinds of people,” Fairchild explains. “Then it kind of got taken over by a bit more salacious group, shall we say. But they would like to get back to that broader range of fan base that they started out with.”

Fairchild saw how Mills “had taken the plunge, and I was talking to her and she was having a good time with it. They weren’t pressuring her to do anything she didn’t feel comfortable with. We were laughing about it, being older ladies. I said, ‘Nobody wants to see my butt, really.’ You know, we’re not kids. Neither of us ever did anything when we were younger that would be kind of considered what the usual people think of as OnlyFans stuff. We never did that. I mean, I turned down Playboy. I turned down a lot of money for Playboy back in the day. But it’s kind of moving with the times, evolving.”
So what has Fairchild been up to in her handful of days since joining the platform? “I’ve been doing little videos. I’ve done a couple of big photo shoots with them out there at this big house that they have,” she details, noting the company’s primary production hub — a residential home in Encino, Calif.
“It’s more fashion stuff, makeup tips, things like that. They really encourage us to just do things to include people in our lives. So I did videos of me putting up my Halloween decorations because all my fans on Twitter and others on social media know I’m a huge Halloween nut,” Fairchild shares. “So I’m trying to film and chat with people as I’m doing things during the day, and that’s what Donna was doing.”
The reaction so far has been mixed, but Fairchild is delighted by the positives. “Some people are writing, saying, ‘I didn’t think you would be doing what they usually do here’... But also people saying, ‘It’s just what I was hoping. It’s so nice to have a chance to talk to you.’” She’s even had friends reach out to ask, “‘How do I do this? I mean, it looks like you’re having fun. How do I do this?’ So I think you’re going to see more people jumping on it.”

Fairchild sees this as another opportunity to do what she’s always done throughout her career — “be on the first wave. I’ve always liked being an iconoclast. I like doing the things people don’t expect to see me do, whether it’s Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, or playing Sandra Bernhard’s girlfriend on Roseanne, or Mork & Mindy. I always like doing things people are not expecting to see you in.”
Fairchild isn’t taking the stereotypical skin-first approach to her OnlyFans. She is, however, approaching the endeavor in “the same way I did all the fashion layouts that I’ve done my whole adult life, which is you make it sexy. That’s how you sell the clothes. That’s how you sell things in Harper’s Bazaar or whatever. God knows I did a lot of cheesecake back in the day, because I kind of introduced wearing all the lingerie and teddies and stuff on the primetime soaps.”
Indeed, Fairchild proved to be a valuable asset to series like Falcon Crest and Flamingo Road, even though she only spent three years and one year on the shows, respectively. She was even nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama for the latter.
“I’m going to wear one of those right now at this age,” Fairchild jokes. “But there’s ways to make it fun and sexy without having to show everything.” As to whether she’ll reach the heights Mills attained, earning “many six figures” in her first month, per Creators Inc CEO Andy Bachman, Fairchild is modest. “I’ve only been doing it for five days now. Mine just dropped on Thursday last week, so I don’t know yet if it will be lucrative,” she says. “That would be nice. I know some of the girls that show a little more skin have been making a lot of money, but that’s not what I’m doing, so I have no clue.”
