Morgan Fairchild is the latest Hollywood veteran to join OnlyFans. The 76-year-old soap opera star, who played Chandler Bing’s mom on “Friends,” announced Thursday that she’s launched a page, and she wasted no time clarifying what’s on it. “I’ve been shooting lots of new pictures and videos (not that kind! LOL),” she told Entertainment Weekly.
It seems like she joined the subscription platform based more on a friend’s recommendation than a career strategy. “Several of my friends started doing OnlyFans and encouraged me to try it,” Fairchild said. “And they were right! It’s been so much fun finding new ways to reach out to my fans!” Her bio reads a bit like a mission statement: “In a tech world that seems so isolating, I want to share our humanity.” She said in a recent interview that the page will focus on “being goofy and talking about whatever’s on my mind.”
Fairchild says that’s the point. “People know the characters, the clothes and the big hair,” she said. “They may not know what a science nerd I am or how easily my sister can make me laugh. I’d love to share more of that.” She added that she’s “still curious” and always “up for a little adventure.”
Fairchild’s credits stretch across decades. She’s known for “Falcon Crest,” “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure,” “General Hospital,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” and “Friends,” and she earned a Daytime Emmy nomination for a guest role on “Days of Our Lives” and a Primetime Emmy nomination for a guest role on “Murphy Brown.” She hasn’t slowed down. She’s hosted the “2 Bitches From Texas” podcast with her sister, actress Cathryn Hartt, since October 2025, and she returned to “The Bold and the Beautiful” in January for the first time in 17 years.
But she isn’t doing this alone. Behind the launch is Creators Inc., the management company that has also helped Jamie Pressly and Shannon Elizabeth start on the platform. CEO Andy Bachman framed it as a gap between how Hollywood and fans think. “Hollywood tends to measure a star’s relevance by what they’ve done lately. Fans don’t,” he said. “Morgan has spent decades building an audience that still wants to hear from her. OnlyFans gives her a chance to connect with those people directly, on her own terms.”
She joins other older stars on the platform, including Donna Mills, the “Knots Landing” star, who joined in July at 85. During her first week, Mills made “many six figures,” Bachman said. “It’s simply another platform to spend quality time with the people who’ve supported me throughout my career while staying true to who I am,” Mills has said. Erika Eleniak of “Baywatch” joined at 56, and “Battlestar Galactica” star Tricia Helfer launched her account at 52, saying she was just having fun with it. Drea de Matteo, 54, of “The Sopranos,” said she made $75,000 in 75 minutes after promoting her page, enough to clear a lien on her home. Shannon Elizabeth reportedly earned more than $1.2 million in her first week, and former NBA star Lamar Odom is among the other famous names now on the platform. (He claims he made over $50,000 his first week.)
Then there’s the other side of OnlyFans’ older audience. DD White, a 72-year-old great-grandmother of eight, launched her own OnlyFans page and, according to reports, describes it as her retirement plan. White co-founded a manufacturing company with her husband, was involved in swinging early in their marriage and returned to it later, and now produces adult content with him through her own site. Her page and Fairchild’s illustrate how wide the platform’s range is, from explicit content to silly, wholesome posts.
What do these women have in common? Mostly, control. Several of the actresses say they joined to connect with fans directly, without a studio or network deciding how they’re presented. OnlyFans, for all its reputation, gives them an audience that’s already there. Creators Inc. says that’s the whole pitch: fans still care, even if casting directors move on.
It also shows how much the platform’s image is shifting. A decade ago, a soap opera icon announcing a page would have raised eyebrows. Now Fairchild gets to say “not that kind” with a laugh, as a Hollywood management company advises her on the best way to use her account.
