I just found out that John Mills died on Saturday. |
|
What a loss, what a great actor. :cry:
His most famous role is proably in Ryan's Daughter, but if you get a chance, check out Hobson's Choice--a gem of a movie, and great acting all around.
He was 97.

2. David Lean directed it...it also stars Brenda Bazine (sp?) and Charles |
|
Laughton...it's a riot, and very sweet.
For Fawlty Towers fans, there's also a very young Prunella Scales in a supporting role.

3. Is he Hayley Mills' father? |
|
She was in "The Parent Trap" and "Polyanna." Hayley Mills is a year or two older than I am and I had a HUGE long-distance fan crush on her when I was about 12.

4. Yes...Juliette Mills is also his daughter--Nanny and the Professor, |
|
and then when she was in her 40's, she started a scandulous affair with the 20-year-old star of Grease 2. Can't think of his name.
I say scanduous, but it's not scandulous to me--good for her!
