    My fav show and character of all time. I was in my 20's, just graduated college, new job, new husband & life. I looked forward to Thursday night all week for Knots Landing, then that hour was over too quickly. Abby was so beautiful and fashion forward, and that makeup and hair styles!! Love Donna Mills always. 💜💜

    I loved Knots Landing, back in the day~it was my obsession tv in the 80’s! I wish it would be on one of the streaming svcs soon…seems it’s nowhere from what I’ve heard..”no interest.” I think a whole lot of former viewers would be interested & binge it on Netflix if it was available, or Hulu or wherever. It was a great serial drama! Hope that happens. Abby was a bada&& alright. Donna is so articulate here and interesting. I also remember her from Love Is A Many Splendid Thing when I was a kid, first soap I ever watched.

    That period these soaps where taking over from the syfy fantasy series like wonder woman ,battlestar Galactica,man from Atlantic, buck Rogers. Dallas was the first ,then secret of midland heights, flamingo road, knots landing , dynasty falcon crest in that period 1978 -1983 started to dominate our TV ,it was a glossy fantasy of shoulder pads , cellphone, and suits. TV at its best with many sound tracks from great artist

    She has a daughter that she adopted. She have a great life and there nothing shameful about that. Farrah was a beautiful women and had a child. However, Farrah son had turbulent life and he definitely didn't inherent his mother genes in the looks department.
