- Sir John Mills CBE (born Lewis Ernest Watts Mills; 22 February 1908 - 23 April 2005)[1] was an English actor who appeared in more than 120 films in a career spanning seven decades. He excelled on camera as an appealing British everyman who often portrayed guileless, wounded war heroes. In 1971, he received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Ryan's Daughter.
For his work in film Mills was knighted by Elizabeth II in 1976. In 2002, he received a BAFTA Fellowship from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, and was named a Disney Legend by The Walt Disney Company.
My home village, and I have such fond memories of John Mills, who was always keen to promote the village fayre, known to many as Beetle Fayre. You are an absolute legend
Sir John Mills was a brilliant actor and sadly missed. He was great in the film "Ice Cold in Alex" RIP Sir John.
John Mills was a brilliant, versatile British actor who appeared many movies of that era. Liked him particularly in Ryan's Daughter, Ice Cold in Alex, Tiger Bay, Dunkirk & many more. RIP Sir John & thanks for the enjoyment you gave to so many
Sir John acted in a film just after the war " This Happy Breed". How things have changed since those days.- I always enjoy these videos and the way you present them. Thanks.
*A Breed Apart, j.*
A film/picture/'movie' I hope to experience soon.
All the best, Mr Cuddihy. By the way ... Are you related to the Scottish Television news presenter, Mr. Cuddihy, from the late 1960s - early 1970s?

LOVED HIM IN ICE COLD IN ALEX
AND RYANS DAUGHTER
BUT HE WAS GOOD IN ANYTHING
MOVIE HE WAS IN
SO THANKS AGAIN PAUL ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE 👍
Read through all of the wonderful comments! I loved John Mills as a little girl. The David Lean films were broadcast in the mid 70s and I was smitten. It resonated with me when you described him as a Father figure I think that's how I saw him it's important how such as he impact on us in our formative years. I especially loved 'in which we served ' and 'this happy breed'. Thank you Paul for paying respect to a man I admired so much x ⭐
RIP Sir John, a great actor. Sadly missed.
Done a great job the surroundings are lovely God bless
My Mum. Worked for Sir John Mills ha s a cleaner in Richmond for several years In the mid 50s l was only young 5 - 6 years but I w e not and played with Hayley several times I remember Sir John and his lovely wife being very kind to me and my Mum,, when she had to leave there cause my Dad needed more looking after through cancer they gave my Mum a lot of things to help her My Mum was so pleased to had known and respected such a loving family.

Our pleasure!
What a beautiful place to live
Hobson's choice great movie great actor ,great man ,RIP Mr mills
great actor,one of my fav films was tiger bay with him and daughter hayley init.
Agreed, b. When I was 'young', Hayley the actress/person was so beautifully natural. Even as an 11-year-old (1962), I saw Hayley as such a 'wonderful young Lady'. Yes, I did/still 'fancy her!' - with respect.
Enough ... Stay free, burning soul. Rab 🍻😎 💚
How soon they are forgotten by family ! If that was my parents it would have flowers on every week
Sir john Mills was the best of British actors an all rounder he could play serious roles comedy farcical roles and famously the village idiot. But he was a rear actor like Sir Alec Guineas he actually morphed into the character he was playing. A very talented man married to a talented lady with two talented daughters acting dynasty. So sad they both went in the same year but such was their love one wouldn’t have wanted to be without the other bless them
RIP together in Gods care .
My home area, as been for midnight mass in that church on Christmas Eve 👍
Both of lived to such a good age. Thanks Paul. Keep up the good work! X
Another great actor who was making films around the same time as the great John Mills is Peter Ustinov another really versatile actor. His interviews on television where so funny especially when he would use different accents. He was a master story teller and would have you laughing at the way in which his stories came alive with such humour. His one man show was especially entertaining but on screen he always gave an outstanding preformance. John Mills also created many characters on stage and on film. Thank you once again for the hard work in research and travelling which you do so very professionally.
I use to go to school in Denham in the late 50s and 1960s ,and we had our Christmas carols services in the church in the village they we’re happy days
Sir John Mills an icon true gentleman and a fantastic actor.
What a lovely resting place, thanks paul♥
I still have a signed photo of John that my mum managed to get for me.
Ice cold in Alex and Hobsons choice are my favourite John Mills films.
Absolute Legend thanks for sharing paul. R.I.P. Sir John Mills.x.

Hobson Choice was my favourite
Hi Paul thanks for showing the grave of the late \john Mills CBE
You are very welcome
Great actor
I was lucky enough to get a framed letter he'd sent someone in the fifties. RIP Sir John Mills.
I always considered his best performance was as the village idiot in Ryan's daughter. He appeared in such a large number of memorable films and such a legacy will make sure he will never be forgotten
Legendary actor. X
Great actor thanks for the video paul
Glad you enjoyed it
@@interestingplaces1 I did thank you
Just before the video started on your right you would have passed Miss Marples cottage from the Margaret Rutherford series of films. The high street was also in Murder Ahoy! Nice place Denhem
I worked in the village garage I used to drive them around they lived next to the church very nice couple
Top actor, started off working on a couple of Will Hay films, that church looks similar to the one used in 'the eagle has landed' film..
Find all your video's so informative Paul..sad but love the respect you pay to all these people. I live in Hull and in the Eastern Cemetery are the graves of 2 famous people...Old Mother Riley (Arthur Lucan) and David Bowies guitarist and right hand man Mick Ronson..if your ever around the Hull area...keep up the great work! Glenn.
😊He had a good long life 😊
Greta actour lovey man very talented daughter’s amazing films 😊
Great video as always Paul remembering a fine actor. I visited his grave myself last year, and I was wondering if you were aware that after 0.44 seconds you drove past his house complete with blue plaque on the wall?
no did not notice there were workman close by so probably obstructed maybe next time
i just had a look on instant streetview and the house has been fuzzed out but can see it on Pauls vid.
Thankyou Paul for this one a wonderful actor rip sir John mills 😊💕
I used to live across the road from him at Richmond Hill,Ham House,Surrey,London.His wife had a gypsy caravan in the garden of their home where she wrote children's stories.
He was also the cousin of Annette Mills, Muffin the Mule fame. 😊
My Favourite, Hobson's' Choice
Great actor thanks for that Paul, wasnt he in a bridge to far or am i getting confused with another film
My dad's is berried there. In denham charch not far from John's grave great video keep up with the good work 👍
LOVE UR VIDEOS 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sir John and Lady Mary Mills lived for many years in the large house immediately next to the church; the building with intricately shaped gables along the front facade. They only moved from that house because they needed a smaller residence in their old age, much of this due to Mary's dementia.
You've just missed a Golden Opportunity on your way to The Mills Grave. Right next door to the entrance you passed the Building next to the Gate. The Mills Cottage. Plus also the grave on the way in or out is a Large Family Grave. The story is quite complex. It was at its Time the A Family Murder. Great views though. I live 5mins from the Cemetery. It is often used in MIDSUMMER MURDERS
Thanks for this information missed their home and blue plaque maybe next time
Can you go to see on the buses after and Actress please thank you xx
I'm dropping my wife at Heathrow this afternoon - so I hope to pop in and pay my respects on the way home! LATER: I did - and I found two other celebrity burials in the same churchyard! I wonder if you missed them, or perhaps making separate videos? (actor, Sir Roger Moore, and Sir James Martin, of Martin Baker ejection-seat fame)
Can you do Warren mitchell,,
Great video, the older British actors were outstanding. Any chance of one on Lawrence of Arabia? Thanks Paul.
Ice cold in Alex
Just think !,one day, your "resting place " will be of curious value to those of us,your avid followers of the departed of infamy, etc,and will throng around your resting place ! !(Father Time is behind us all! !)lol ! ! !
Hi it could not be world war one he was only 10 when it ended in 1918.
social media info wrong again
I met Sir John Mills very briefly in the corridor at my sister’s graduation; he was receiving an honorary degree. I was struck by how gentlemanly is was towards me, a no-one. My favourite band (Kula Shaker) is led by his grandson, Crispian Mills. The Mills obviously have good genes! RIP Sir John.🕊
