Haley Mills In Conversation with Christopher Biggins
Review By Louise Cannon
Haley Mills, child and adult star of stage and screen is fantastically interesting and a joy to listen to. She is known for The Parent Trap, Summer Magic, Tiger Bay, Whistle Down the Wind and many more films, TV programmes such as Wild At Heart and theatre such as The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel stage play. All of which I can highly recommend.
Christopher Biggins was interviewing her. He’s professional in his question asking, but not clinically so, he brings warmth and the two of them had great charisma and respect for each other and seemed so natural around each other.
The audience was treated to clips from her childhood films before they graced the stage. She allowed the audience into some personal things as well as talking about her films and what it was like to be in an acting family.
Haley Mills has a book out called Forever Young. A copy is on its way to me, so I am looking forward to being able to review it. She had a meet and greet at this event. She is upbeat and brings such joy and wonderful optimism, which she also spread in her talk on stage.
This was a one off talk, but if you ever get the opportunity to see her in-person, and I do realise how incredibly lucky I was and how much joy she brought to my heart in an experience I didn’t think would ever happen, but if you do, I urge you to see her. Look out for her book too – Forever Young. I am certain it’s going to be well-written and interesting. Let’s see what I have to say when I review it. All I can say, after this talk, I am excited about it!
