The Original Hayley Mills site was set up by Robin White back in 1996. In 2009 Robin lost the hosting of it when Yahoo ceased the Geocities accounts. Robin has kindly let me reproduce that ground breaking site on my own site. Whilst it is not being updated it still has wealth of information and photographs and I'm proud to reproduce it here.

From the world of music...
I remember going to see the film with my best friend at our local theater in Edinburgh, Scotland. We were the right age for its story lines--one of which was kids who were able to bring their split-up parents back together. ... And then there was its star, Hayley Mills, who played both twins and carried the movie not only as if she had been born for the role, but as if she were one of us--which is also why she meant so much to us. She wasn’t a Miss Priss done up in bows, to be seen and not heard. Compared to everything else we were witnessing in teen movies, the double character that Hayley Mills played was doubly divine, because she was a doer times two.
When I read that a remake of the original “Parent Trap” was in the works, I longed to find out more about the woman who had once embodied all that it stood for. I suspected that what she had to say would have meaning for all of our readers, not just those who were around when the film was first released, or who have seen it since on TV, where it is shown often. And indeed, our talk with Hayley Mills reveals someone who has had the kind of life that doesn’t conform to the Hollywood formula--such as a marriage that did not fit the “happily ever after” ideal. Although she tells it with enormous grace, what Mills has to say is a reminder that the notion of sheltering people through ignorance of what’s really out there in the world does not service to anyone.
