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.

I really enjoyed this book. It really showed how good a book can be when read by the author. I thought the references to her movies were good, - very interesting and not overdone. The ONLY problem that I had with the book was that it finished to soon. It needed a few more chapters to cover the rest of her life up until now. Anyway, a very enjoyable listen!!

Many of us were quite literally in love with Hayley throughout the 60's and 70's. We wanted to be her best friend, and her our's. Now in our golden years we are gifted with this memoir and with hours of her lovely voice telling us her story.

For Hayley's fans, this is a gem.

I've admired Haley Mills since I was a child and followed every film she made, if I could. It was so gratifying to hear her perspective of her life.

Completely absorbing

I have to take a rarely taken opportunity to write a quick review about one of the best autobiographical pieces I have ever read. As a kid, maybe slightly younger than her character in “Pollyanna”, I was enamored of her role in that story. Then, “The Parent Trap”, followed by “in Search of the Castaways “ and “Moonspinner”. She was mesmerizing in all her roles, but her self-deprecating charm in her memoirs, absolutely authentic, made this a wonderful read for me, admittedly already a fan. Thank you, Ms. Mills, for your beautiful story and honesty. And despite the British court’s abuse of your rights, you clearly claim the absolute purpose in life, which is love. God bless you and your family. They’re all lucky to have you in their lives. Sincerely, Dr. Douglas B. Willingham, Salado, Texas

Nice read

Hearing the story and words of one of my childhood heroines was thoroughly delightful and entertaining.. So much fun to hear her story, though sad to hear some of the twists which occurred in her life. She is a strong woman now, bourne of a time when it was not easy nor fashionable for girls and women to speak for ourselves. Well worth the read!

Wonderful trip back thru memory lane!!

Hayley Mills recalls in great detail an amazing life lived in a world gone-by, but no quite so long ago. She is a top rate memoir author and narrator non-pariel. I am so glad Ms. Mills took the time to craft this excellent window onto a remarkable life with luck and misfortune alike.

Memoir doesn’t get better than this….
