JOHN MILLS

John Mills was an English actor from the 1940s to the 2000s. You likely will be surprised to learn he started his show business career as a teenager as a dancer and singer, performing in stage revues! He switched to dramatic parts and went to Hollywood in 1939 for a part in Goodbye, Mr. Chips, but he refused to sign a contract, and he returned to England, where he became one of the most popular English actors of the 1940s and 1950s, and he successfully transitioned from leading roles to character parts without any problem at all. He is the father of actresses Hayley Mills and Juliet Mills. He passed away in 2005 at the age of 97.
