By VERNON SCOTT HOLLYWOOD (UPI)-Donna Mills plays wife and maid in the new series, “The Good Life,” when, in fact, she is neither on her own time. _Diminutive, blonde and blue eyed, it is a minor miracle that Donna is unmarried. She does have a beau whom she has dated four years without taking tentative steps in the direction of the altar- Donna leads her own good life in a rented rustic house in Laurel Canyon. It is all wood and stone and glass and casually furnished. It is dotted by fish ponds fed by a waterfall. The owner, who built the house on several levels, fancied a wine cellar built into the side of a hill. At the uppermost level of the terraced property there is a structure which Donna calls a bat cave. The bat cave is a favorite retreat for occasional lunch parties. It commands a spectacular view of the broad, green canyon. “There is a pocket of actors, writers and artists who live within walking distance of Donna. These are her friends, and they can be found enjoying dinner and rap sessions at round-robin parties. Donna has a sunny disposition and enjoys people. Her three bedroom house is a way station for friends from her native Chicago or New York where she worked the theater and studied acting. A graduate of the University of Ilinois, Donna has mastered the culinary art. She enjoys nothing better than cooking for dinner parties or an intimate little repast with her boyfriend, whose name she refuses to divulge. The most she will say about him is that he is an actor and that he enjoys her real cordon bleu. As a child Donna’s cream was to own a horse, an impractical desire for an inhabitant of Chicago, and later, New York City. Now, however, she has bought a registered quarter horse named Drifter who is stabled at nearby Glendale. “It costs me only $80 a month to board him out there,” Donna explains. “In New York it would have been $200 a month and I couldn’t afford it. Now every chance I have we go riding.”
