Before Netflix & YouTube: The Child Stars Who Lit Up The Screens Of Yesteryear

Hayley Mills

Hayley Mills wasn’t born with a silver spoon, but a director’s megaphone. The daughter of British acting royalty, John Mills and Mary Hayley Bell, Hayley practically had “the biz” in her DNA. By 12, she was captivating audiences in the gritty British drama “Tiger Bay.”

Her infectious optimism and charm in “Pollyanna” won her a special Juvenile Academy Award at just 14. Hayley went on to light up Disney classics like “The Parent Trap,” proving she could play not one, but two adorable twins! Though her childhood reign as Disney’s princess eventually ended, Hayley continued acting well into adulthood.
