Hayley Mills may have risen to fame as a teen, but the star of The Parent Trap is stunning on the red carpet at 80.
The British beauty, who rose to stardom in classic children’s films like The Parent Trap and Pollyanna, carried her success into adulthood with roles in Saved by the Bell and Wild at Heart. With her classic blonde hair and beautiful smile, there’s no mistaking the English rose for the one-time Disney film icon. On the red carpet to attend BFI Presents: Whistle Down the Wind & Q&A at BFI Southbank in London, England, the film icon is the picture of aging gracefully.

Mills Has a Famous Sister, Juliet Mills
Hayley’s sister, Juliet Mills, was already a successful actress when she hit daytime TV on Passions, but the British beauty officially became a pop culture icon. She played the lead role on the sitcom Nanny and the Professor in the ’70s, and had a highly successful theater career. But come 1999, she starred in Passions as Tabitha Lenox, a witch whose doll, Timmy, comes to life in a New England town filled with supernatural elements. The show ran until 2007 on NBC, before heading to DirecTV.

While things are great for Mills these days, she struggled tremendously in the period following her significant fame as a child actor.
“It did seem to kind of slow my development into being an adult,” she shared in a Los Angeles Times article in 2021. “Actors are so much braver today. You look at Daniel Radcliffe from ‘Harry Potter,’ how brave he’s been with his career. He’s really gone out on a limb, and I admire that so much.”
She developed bulimia and became a people pleaser, desperately trying to satisfy the adults around her. As she got into her twenties, she discovered that much of the money she earned as a child star had disappeared, subjected to a 91% tax rate that was created to bolster England’s finances after the war.
Despite that setback, Mills built her acting resume back up. She starred on stage and in the cult-favorite TV show Good Mornin, Miss Bliss, which went on to become Saved by the Bell. She also went on to have two sons and is now a grandmother.
