Happy 78th Birthday to a boomer childhood icon. Her memoir is a stunningly good capture of her era-defining career, honest, frank, wise.
Another reminder: thanks to David Swift, Mills' signature role is rare Disney, unsentimental, even subversive: an orphan with instinctive moral clarity pierces a classist town held hostage to an oligarch. Watch her call out Karl Malden's corrupted church. Startlingly relevant.
@Halcyon270 When you say "wise," I hear "scathingly brilliant." 😀
@Halcyon270 I always wanted to be her. She is a few years older, but was always my idol 😉
@Halcyon270 @willmckinley More importantly she’s in that new M. Night Shyamalan movie coming in August!
@Halcyon270 Yes. FOREVER YOUNG. A very honestly written memoir from a very talented, much admired woman, who deserved so much more for all that she gave to us as we grew up along with her. With much love~HB 🎂 Hayley Mills...💙
