Hayley Mills

Hayley Mills rose to stardom in shows like Pollyanna and Parent Trap. She was taken under the wings by Walt Disney himself. Little did she know that he had a hand in how her acting career was shaped until years later. Mills was given access to correspondence between her, her parents, and Disney. Although the child star experienced challenges when she was young, she didn’t look at her past with regret.

In fact, the actress has penned her autobiography called Forever Young. In this book she talks about her experiences growing up as a child star, her bouts with bulimia, and more. She also wrote about the challenges of transitioning away from being a Mouseketeer. To her credit, her career shifted to doing stage productions where she truly blossomed.
