Hayley Mills
Hayley Mills, an actress from the United Kingdom, was found by J. Lee Thompson, who then put her in the film Tiger Bay opposite her father, Sir John Mills. She was discovered at the time by one of Walt Disney’s producers, who suggested casting her in the role of Polyanna’s leading lady. This decision ended up catapulting her to prominence, and she was even given a special Academy Award! She did not achieve widespread recognition as an actress until she was cast in the roles of Susan and Sharon in the film The Parent Trap.

Mills, who is 72 years old and has two children, recently performed in a stage production titled “Party Face” that was directed by Isobel Mahon.
