Raised in a famous British family, with movie star father John Mills and writer mother Mary Hayley Bell guiding the Mills brood, Hayley made her acting debut in the film Tiger Bay in 1959. She won the BAFTA Award for Most Promising Newcomer in that movie, and also caught the eye of Walt Disney who signed her on to a contract at his studio. As a result, she would achieve worldwide fame thanks to films like Pollyanna and The Parent Trap, but also have to learn to deal with the perils of stardom and the balancing act of constantly being in the spotlight while growing up.
As she grew to adulthood and took on more adult roles, as in 1966's The Family Way, both she and the public had to come to grips with the end of the Hayley Mills and Walt Disney era. She continued to act both on stage and in film and TV and eventually was given a Disney Legend award.

She's a national treasure. Whistle Down the Wind and Sky West and Crooked are her greatest films ever.
what an angel she is. These type of elegent, kind, gentle women, down-to-earth women are sadly dying out. And that gorgeous voice, so soothing.
OMG, big fan of hers from Pollyanna to Ms. Bliss!!! Wow, she looks great.
An absolute childhood favourite of mine! She brought so much joy to my life!
She’s so elegant. I’m almost finished her book on audio and to hear Hayley in her voice telling her story is so surreal. ❤️
Thank You For Sharing the Interview with Haley Mills. Enjoyed it.
Great interview, just ordered her book. Also want to mention Hayley's wonderful first film, 1959's "Tiger Bay," wherein she give a remarkable debut performance (her best, IMO).
What a incredible life to have worked with Maureen O'Hara, Rosalind Russell, Brian Keith and her Dad Sir John Mills and Sister Juliet Mills.
She owes us an apology for Family Way.
And having a Beatle taking her out.
@@chalkboy8 Why?
@@chalkboy8 what’s wrong with the movie The Family Way?
@@klassicalmuzik nothing really. Just not my cup of tea.
Great job Scott! It was very pleasant listening to you two talking. You stayed professional throughout the whole interview, but you still managed to keep it very personal and informal (in the best way possible). I'm glad that you were able to close a cycle with this one, it was genuinely touching to hear you both talking. Hearing Hailey talk about her experiences was invaluable, and you helped to extract all those important fragments of her writing and acting experience to deliver this wonderful interview to us.
Thank you, Juliana! I’m really glad you enjoyed it.
LOVE HER!!
Miss Bliss.

The people's elbow ?
La fascinación del ser humano por las glorias pasajeras.. La Hayley Mills de ayer ( niña o adolescente ). Si el único grande es Dios; y por ello fuimos creados para manifestación en nosotros; mediante el conocimiento de aquel que nos llamó por su gloria y excelencia. Nos dió preciosas y grandísimas promesas para llegar a ser participantes de la naturaleza divina ( Paráfrasis de la segunda Carta del apóstol Pedro a la Iglesia del primer siglo ). Nuevo testamento y Evangelio; en el libro de los libros, la sagrada bíblia. Nos insta a volvernos a Dios. El cual nos está esperando, que le conozcamos por medio de su Hijo Jesucristo que se sacrificó voluntariamente por la humanidad en aquella cruz ).. no fue en vano.
" Dejando lo que queda atrás y poniendo la mirada en las cosas de arriba donde está Jesucristo sentado a la diestra de Dios Padre." Es la recomendación del apóstol Pablo, 3:48 que traerá mejores dividendos a nuestras almas. La Salvación y la vida Eterna; amén.
Si, son hermosos los dones y gracia con que nuestro buen y gran Dios ha dotado a esta hermosa mujer también hoy en día y algunos films de su pasado ( " Nace el amor " de picardía juvenil y arte naturalista " de su tío John Mills ).
