Hayley Mills began her acting career as a child at age 12 and was soon hailed as a rising star, winning the Academy Juvenile Award (one of only twelve actors to ever be bestowed with this honor), BAFTA Award for Most Promising Newcomer, and Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year. Her six-picture deal with Walt Disney made her an international star, including her dual role as the twins Sharon and Susan in The Parent Trap (1961). For her extraordinary contributions with Disney, she received the Disney Legend Award in 1998. Hayley’s role in Whistle Down the Wind, a 1961 adaptation of the novel written by her mother Mary Hayley Bell, secured her a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best British Actress. She continues to star on stage and in films and television, among them Tilly Grant in The Flame Trees of Thika (1981), Miss Bliss in Good Morning, Miss Bliss (1987–89) which famously spun-off into Saved by the Bell, and as Caroline in Wild at Heart (2007–12) on ITV.
