[urlnew=http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_home/694:0/Walt_Disney.htm]Walt Disney's[/urlnew] wife loved her acting, and so she was contacted to participate in the Disney film, 'The Parent Trap'.

In 1971, she married Roy Boulting. They had a child, named Crispian Mills, and divorced in 1977. Crispian later became a singer with the band, Kula Shaker, and is now launching a solo career.

Her second son, Jason Lawson, is the product of a 1970s relationship with actor Leigh Lawson.

Mills has starred in many shows and plays since, more notably as a teacher in 'Saved By The Bell', and as Miss Anna Leonowens in the British production of 'The King and I'.

Hayley Mills biography




Still Sexy..?
We've all succumbed to the allure of someone about a decade wiser than ourselves at some point, but usually the fascination wears off with the years. This weekend though BIO celebrates distinguished men who despite silvering hair and deeper wrinkles still manage to pull off that undeniable attraction...
Mind the Gap
It's an undeniable fact that Harrison Ford has been an object of affection for teen girls the world over - but if you don't mind the gap, how to nab the older man? Elli Lewis takes Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones as a case study where age is no barrier to love.
Celebrity Fight Club
From Dumbledore vs Gandalf to Bruce Lee flattening Jackie Chan teamed with Jet Li, BIO draws up a list of the ultimate on-screen clashes that we all secretly wish had happened.
'Changeling': Fact behind the Fiction
‘Changeling’, Clint Eastwood’s latest effort starring Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich, is based on the sad tale of Christine Collins, a woman whose son was murdered and replaced by another child in a horrific case of LAPD corruption. In this special feature, we will investigate how closely Eastwood stayed to the true story.
Leonardo DiCaprio: Beauty and the Bored
Upon seeing Sienna Miller or Liz Hurley pouting seductively on endless magazine covers, airbrushed within an inch of still being classified as human, one can’t help but wonder whether Darwin could see this one coming. It seems that the evolution of mankind has led to world where beauty can get you on a first class trip to the top whereas brains are the ticket to a desk job.
'Choke' Film Review
Adapted from another story by Chuck Palahniuk, writer of the sublime 'Fight Club', 'Choke' sadly fails to measure up, stripping away the darker themes which characterise Palahniuk's work.
'Changeling' Film Review
The latest offering from the Eastwood/Jolie dream team could have benefited from more focus, but it is a heart-rending and emotional tale with stunning performances from the whole cast.
The Brit Pack
On the search for what makes a very British movie, Mike Edwards looks at the actors, directors and genres which have defined British cinematic identity, and in turn, shaped the identity of the British people.
The Biography Channel HD
The Biography Channel is excited to announce the launch of High Definition viewing.
From Callahan to Bourne: The men who took on James Bond
With the release of 'Quantum of Solace' exciting the Bond fan in us all, Michael Edwards looks at those brave souls - from Harry Callahan to Jason Bourne - who sought to topple Bond through subversion, espionage or just full on head-to-head combat on the big screen.
10 films we love to talk about
2008 has been a year of majorly hyped film releases, but how many of them will you remember in 2009? BIO has pulled together a list of outstanding films which we still love to talk about years after their big screen debut.
Sir Roger Moore in Conversation
The man with the raised eyebrow, beloved star of the James Bond films, TV series 'The Saint' and countless other escapades of the big and small screen, discusses his childhood, career, UNICEF and the mixed blessings of grandchildren.
Jude’s Law: Love The One You’re With
In the immortal words of Sir Mick Jagger, ‘you can’t always get what you want’. So why is that we insist on peaking over our neighbours fences only to decide that their grass is a much better shade of green than ours? Perhaps a look at Jude Law’s infamous relationship with Sienna Miller can provide us with the answer.
'W.' Film Review
‘W.’ is a safe, feel-good look at the most powerful man in the world, but does however provide a compelling look at the private side of Bush, especially his relationships with his wife, mother, brother and especially his father.
‘Pushing the boundaries’ or ‘malicious and offensive’?
Brand, Ross and the answer phone message: a 'gross lapse of taste' or a taste of British comedy warped by the media?
The Secret Life of Women in Film
'The Secret Life of Bees' boasts a stellar cast of women leads - with a side serving of Paul Bettany. Writer/director Gina Prince-Blythewood and arguably the most powerful US female producer, Lauren Shuler Donner, talk about their new movie, the difficulties facing films led by women - on and off the screen - and Hugh Jackman in 'Wolverine'.
Bad Boy Bond
We're all loving Daniel Craig's dark anti-hero of James Bond - but for how long? Can this 007 evolve into the quintessential charmer his predecessors so lovingly created?
Troopergate: A Question of Ethics
The ‘troopergate’ incident poses a massive threat to Sarah Palin's reputation and her presidential campaign. Elli Lewis asks whether it is representative of her past - and future - actions.

The latest weighty historical film from Germany, 'The Baader Meinhof Complex' is a riveting drama which asks challenging questions about democracy, terrorism and conflict in the Middle East.
'Burn After Reading' Film Review
If there's a left of left-field, that's where you'll find this latest madcap comedy romp from the Coen Brothers. It doesn't quite manage to bring George Clooney and Brad Pitt face to face but Pitt and JK Simmons are the scene stealers from an outstanding cast.
Peaches and Cream
Think you have a bad case of sibling rivalry on your hands? Try competiting for the attention of mummy, daddy and the adoring public and press like the Geldolf sisters...
‘Frost/Nixon’ Film Review
An American president makes the mistake of his career, and in a fierce duel of wit and words, a British chat show host is the one to make him admit it. And Matthew MacFadyen strips naked and runs into the sea. What more can one want?

The Father of Fear – John Carpenter
Undoubtedly one of the most iconic film directors, John Carpenter belongs to a very particular class of filmmakers.
