About six months after Walt Disney died, Disada dedicated the Walt
Disney Memorial Library and leading Disney actress Hayley Mills
dedicated the library in the British Pavilion at the World's Fair in
Montreal. Accompanied by director Roy Boulting whom she would later
marry, she signed the papers as well as various Disney memorabilia and
lobby cards from her newest film, the non-Disney adult drama THE
FAMILY WAY. Hayley was, of course, the star of POLLYANNA (for which she received a
special Academy Award), THE PARENT TRAP, THAT DARN CAT and other
Disney classics, and she told us many stories about Walt Disney and
working at the Disney studio. What impressed her most as a very young
girl when she first went to his home with her family in preparation
for POLLYANNA was that in the finished basement he had a full ice
cream and soda fountain installation and would enjoy making dairy
concoctions for his guests. She was bright and intelligent and I
recall that we talked about Marshall McLuhan and his then-new “The
Medium is the Message” theory as we toured the pavillion afterwards.
She has worked constantly in film and television and is currently in
the TV series WILD AT
