Career: Mills' bright personality inspired director J Lee Thompson to cast her in Tiger Bay in 1959. Walt Disney's wife, Lilian, saw the film and suggested she should play the lead in Pollyanna. It made her a global star, and won her a special Oscar. Mills became the most popular child star of the era thanks to films such as The Parent Trap, Whistle Down the Wind and That Darn Cat! The controversial nature of 1966's The Family Way hurt her wholesome image, and although she's worked steadily ever since on stage and screen, Mills' career never reached its former heights again. From 2007 to 2012, Mills played Caroline in ITV drama Wild at Heart.

He was in charge of film production at Elstree Studios in the early 1970s and gave the greenlight to The Railway Children (1970), The Go-Between (1970) and On the Buses (1971).
