About this listen
Iconic actress Hayley Mills shares personal memories from her storied childhood, growing up in a famous acting family and becoming a Disney child star, trying to grow up in a world that wanted her to stay forever young.
The daughter of acclaimed British actor Sir John Mills was still a preteen when she began her acting career and was quickly thrust into the spotlight. Under the wing of Walt Disney himself, Hayley Mills was transformed into one of the biggest child starlets of the 1960s through her iconic roles in Pollyanna, The Parent Trap, and many more. She became one of only 12 actors in history to be bestowed with the Academy Juvenile Award, presented at the Oscars by its first recipient, Shirley Temple, and went on to win a number of awards including a Golden Globe, multiple BAFTAs, and a Disney Legacy Award.
Now, in her charming and forthright memoir, she provides a unique window into when Hollywood was still "Tinseltown" and the great Walt Disney was at his zenith, ruling over what was (at least in his own head) still a family business. This behind-the-scenes look at the drama of having a sky-rocketing career as a young teen in an esteemed acting family will offer both her childhood impressions of the wild and glamorous world she was swept into, and the wisdom and broader knowledge that time has given her. Hayley will delve intimately into her relationship with Walt Disney, as well as the emotional challenges of being bound to a wholesome, youthful public image as she grew into her later teen years, and how that impacted her and her choices - including marrying a producer over 30 years her senior when she was 20! With her regrets, her joys, her difficulties, and her triumphs, this is a compelling listen for any fan of classic Disney films and an inside look at a piece of real Hollywood history.

Fell in love with Hayley when I was 12!
I remember going to the famous Mayfair Theatre in Ottawa South for 25 cents! 2 Movies you could watch 3 times a day for 5 days! Ah, the 60s! I saw The Parent Trap on a double bill with John Wayne's classic, 'The Searchers' Saw them both 15 times! WE all had a crush on Hayley that summer! Her Bio is brilliant; well written and passionately narrated for us. She gives us the good, the bad and all that's in between in that lovely voice! It is a well ordered history of her time with Walt Disney and her projects with family, her mom's writing and of course John Mills acting together with her. She is candid about her periods of self doubt and struggling to find out who she really is and her mistakes and regrets. It is wonderful from beginning to end, and it is read for us by HAYLEY! Love, Love, Loved it! Have listened 3 times since it arrived. Now if only David McCallum would do a Bio.....Thanks so much Hayley! - R. Larocque, Ottawa, On.

Great Style
I enjoyed listening to Hayley tell her story. I am of the age where I watched Walt Disney and saw Hayley in some of her shows. It was interesting to hear about her life. She was open and vulnerable drawing in the reader.
