Discovered by Noel Coward?

We say she was discovered by J Lee Thompson. I have a newspaper clipping from when John Mills died, which says Hayley was "discovered by actor and composer Noel Coward". Which is the truth? -- JackofOz 05:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Wording suggestion

The following excerpt (the italics) seems to violate Wikipedia's "neutral point of view" policy:

"...a brief shot of Mills' bare bottom generated a certain amount of controversy .... Though harmless by today's standards, The Family Way hurt Mills' film career."

While an argument can be made that the showing of a "bare bottom" in films is much more commonplace today, it is presumptuous to call it "harmless", especially since "today's standards" is very ambiguous.

Furthermore, the phrase "The Family Way hurt Mills' film career" begs some sort of backup evidence, perhaps a quote or citation.

Based on the above two points, I suggest the entire sentence beginning with "Though" be removed from the article.

Photos

Why is it that there are no photos of Haley Mills? - Greg

There are bazillions of photos of her, just none in this article. Maybe because there are copyright issues. -- JackofOz (talk) 08:32, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

amazing stories

i noticed that on hayley mills credits you have either forgot or didnt know about her appearance in one of steven spielbergs amazing stories entitled THE GRIEBBLE.it was first aired on nov 3rd 1986. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.142.153 (talk) 20:38, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

We don't list every single appearance, since the list would be too long, and there appears to be no particular reason why this should be. It's listed at Imdb, which is an external link. Rodhullandemu 20:44, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Membership of the Labour Party

She was definitely a member of the British Labour Party, certainly in the early 1990s at the very least. I distinctly remember reading in a West London-based local newspaper (possibly the now-defunct Brentford Chiswick & Isleworth Times) of her going to a local constituency to support a parliamentary candidate in the run up to the 1992 General Election. I think the candidate may have been Ann Keen, though Hayley may have endorsed others too. Surely a brief mention of this would be relevant for her 'personal life' section..? The problem is it pre-dates the internet age and I'm having difficulty in locating a valid source. Multiculturalist (talk) 16:11, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Interesting. If there was a source out there it would be worth adding, yes. --TrottieTrue (talk) 00:37, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
