Juliet Mills - Biography

An English actress of stage, screen and television, sister to Hayley Mills and daughter of Sir John Mills, Juliet first came to notice in films, actually after her sister Hayley started her career. Juliet, however, was first plucked onto the screen and signing a contract with Warner Brothers and taking small roles in comedies like Nurse on Wheels (1963) and Les Révoltés du Vénus (1963).

She continued in television in the seventies as a recurring guest star on La croisière s'amuse (1977), Wonder Woman (1975) and L'île fantastique (1977). She got her first starring television series, Nanny et le professeur (1970), in 1970, co-starring Richard Long, the series was top-rated, but was shortly canceled after two seasons by ABC. She hit the screen again in 1974, playing the possessed "Jessica Barrett" in the Italian horror film Le démon aux tripes (1974) ("Beyond the Door") for Film Ventures International, but it was pulled from theaters because it resembled L'exorciste (1973), even though it was becoming a box office hit. She didn't get very many roles after that and continued in television through the eighties. She did a small part in Waxwork II: Lost in Time (1992) and then played Juliette Lewis's friendly maid in the 1999 major motion picture L'autre soeur (1999), co-starring Diane Keaton and Tom Skerritt.
