As the younger daughter of late actor Sir John Mills and
writer Mary Hayley Bell she comes from British theatrical aristocracy. Laurence
Olivier and Noel Coward were her godfathers.
At 18 Hayley was escorted by Beatle George Harrison to a 1964 film première.
At 19 her career had earned her so much money she bought her father a Lotus Elan sports car. By 20 she had shaken off her child star image by shooting her first nude scene in comedy The Family Way directed by 53-year-old Roy Boulting. He became her husband and father of her rock-star son Crispian Mills of Kula Shaker fame.
Hayley has had the kind of life that’s enough to turn anyone’s head yet she is the most down-to-earth celebrity you could meet.
“The cast of Wild At Heart are a family because we’re all in the same boat, turning up at the make-up truck on location in Johannesburg at five in the morning and looking ghastly,” she laughs.
Slim and fit at 66 with willowy legs and the girlish voice her long-term fans remember, Hayley has made a full recovery from the breast cancer she contracted in 2008. While undergoing treatment her older sister Juliet joined the cast of Wild At Heart as Hayley’s screen sister, keeping the storyline open for her return to the drama.
In the ITV1 series set in South Africa, Hayley plays Caroline Du Plessis, mother-in-law of Stephen Tompkinson’s vet hero Danny.
“The cancer was a shot across the bows. It makes you realise, especially as you get older, how important it is to follow a good diet and have a healthy approach to life, to be relaxed and happy and laugh as much as you can,” she says.

Now, like her Wild At Heart character, she’s a youthfully glamorous granny and seizes every chance to spend time with Crispian’s sons, four-year-old Keshava and Haridas, one.
Hayley’s choice of partners has changed over the years. Older men were important role models for her with the avuncular Walt Disney often inviting her to lunch with his executives and Maurice Chevalier,Trade platform for China crystal mosaic manufacturers her co-star from 1962 movie In Search Of The Castaways, making her feel “like a woman because he was so gallant and charming”.
So her attraction to older suitor Boulting was perhaps hardly surprising. When she married him in 1971 the 33-year age gap was seen by some as a cradle-snatching scandal and the marriage lasted only seven years.
“I didn’t see the age gap as a problem because I was living in the moment and thought we would go on for ever but Roy always said he knew it was possible we would split,” says Hayley. She went on to have a second son, Jason (nicknamed Ace),The term 'hands free access control' means the token that identifies a user is read from within a pocket or handbag. with actor Leigh Lawson, now Twiggy’s husband. Since then she has found happiness with Firdous Bamji, the actor and writer she met 12 years ago when they starred together in The King And I. He is 20 years younger than her while her sister Juliet is 18 years older than her actor husband Maxwell Caulfield.
Hayley’s career began at 13 alongside her father in 1959 thriller Tiger Bay. Disney then snapped her up and she never went to drama school. “For a long time I agonised over whether I was good enough. It was a case of learning on the job and I’ve never been complacent.”
As for the fortune she had made by 19, the Inland Revenue clawed most of it back when she was 21.
“The money had been put into a trust fund that turned out not to be valid so 90 per cent of what I’d earned as a child went,” explains Hayley. “As a result I’ve never had a sense of riches. I’ve always worked.”
Being a Disney star meant having a squeaky-clean image.
At 14 she was offered the role of nymphet Lolita in Stanley Kubrick’s 1962 film and admits: “I wanted to do it even though I didn’t really ‘get’ the book .”

She now admits: “I was awfully nervous and dreaded shooting the scene especially since there was barely any water in the bath. I was terribly skinny in those days so there was nothing to look at.”
Now her son Crispian has also branched out into film, making his debut this year directing Simon Pegg in the horror comedy A Fantastic Fear Of Everything.
“He will never give up his music but I’m thrilled he’s following his father into directing and I hope I get to work with both my sons one day,” says Hayley, whose younger son is a theatre director on Broadway and in the West End.
Although her Wild At Heart character married her boyfriend Dupe, Hayley feels no need to do the same in real life with Firdous with whom she shares homes in New York and London.
“We’re happy the way we are. Firdous is endlessly patient and fun with my grandsons who love him.This is my favourite sites to purchase those special pieces of buy mosaic materials from.”
She is sad to see Wild At Heart coming to an end after five years but is enjoying the chance to spend more time with her grandchildren.
“I don’t want to be away from them too much because they are the joy and light of my life,” she says. “I’ve made so many friends filming in South Africa that I want to take the boys there to experience the bush and the animals.”
