Chances are if you were a child in the 1960s, you saw Hayley Mills everywhere.
Born on 18th April 1946, the daughter of famed actors John Mills and Mary Hayley Bell, she followed in her parents' footsteps and took to the stage at a young age. Her film debut was at the age of eleven in the British crime drama ''Tiger Bay''. It was in that where she was discovered by Creator/WaltDisney, who was desperately looking for an actress to play the lead role in ''{{Literature/Pollyanna}}''. She got the part and, although the film was not a great Box Office success, she was signed to a six film contract with Disney. It was with Uncle Walt that she made another of her most famous films - playing both Susan and Sharon in ''Film/TheParentTrap''.
As is the case with many child actresses, Hayley tried to distance herself from her Disney roots as she got older. Roles such as a mentally-challenged teen in ''Sky West & Crooked'', a virgin trying to consummate her marriage in ''The Family Way'' and the object of a stalker's lust in the horror film ''Twisted Nerve''. She dropped out of the industry for a few years, before re-emerging in the 80s, once again working with Disney - filming three sequels to ''The Parent Trap''. She was given a Disney Legends Award in 1998.
She's still acting on the stage to this day. She was also the final recipient of the Academy Juvenile Award in 1960, for her performance in ''Pollyanna''.

It was in that where she was discovered by Creator/WaltDisney, who was desperately looking for an actress to play the lead role in ''{{Literature/Pollyanna}}''. She got the part and, although the film was not a great Box Office success, she was signed to a six film contract with Disney. It was with Uncle Walt that she made another of her most famous films - playing both Susan and Sharon in ''Film/TheParentTrap''.
As is the case with many child actresses, Hayley tried to distance herself from her Disney roots as she got older. Roles such as a mentally-challenged teen in ''Sky West & Crooked'', a virgin trying to consummate her marriage in ''The Family Way'' and the object of a stalker's lust in the horror film ''Twisted Nerve''. She dropped out of the industry for a few years, before re-emerging in the 80s, once again working with Disney - filming three sequels to ''The Parent Trap''. She was given a Disney Legends Award in 1998.
She's still acting on the stage to this day. She was also the final recipient of the Academy Juvenile Award in 1960, for her performance in ''Pollyanna''.

!!Tropes relating to her work:
* AbilityOverAppearance: [[invoked]]
** The character 'Gillie' in ''Tiger Bay'' was meant to be a boy, but changed to a girl to accommodate Hayley.
** Walt Disney likewise wanted an American girl to play Pollyanna. After screen testing hundreds of girls, his wife saw convinced him to fly out to London to meet Hayley. Pollyanna was then rewritten to be half British.
* ContractualPurity: [[invoked]] Her contract with Disney was why she couldn't play the title role in ''{{Literature/Lolita}}''. She also sought to shake this off by appearing nude from behind in ''The Family Way'' and topless in ''Deadly Strangers''.
* FakeAmerican: [[invoked]] Half of her roles in America, varying in whether she's bothering with the accent or not.
* FormerChildStar: Subverted. For a while she was best known as Pollyanna and Susan & Sharon, but she has kept working in adulthood and carved out a respectable stage career.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: The Mills family is an acting one. Hayley and John were even the first father and daughter to win Oscars.
* PlayingTheirOwnTwin: [[invoked]] Famously for ''Film/TheParentTrap''. Walt Disney wanted two girls in the roles but was eventually persuaded to have Hayley play both.
* RealLifeRelative: [[invoked]] She did ''Tiger Bay'' and ''The Family Way'' with her father John Mills.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[invoked]]
** Stanley Kubrick wanted her to play Dolores in ''Lolita'' but she couldn't accept it because she was under contract to Disney. Years later, she admitted she wished she had taken it anyway.
** She was set to voice Princess Eilonwy in ''Disney/TheBlackCauldron'' but Susan Sheridan ended up with the part.
