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
Carry on Jack (1964). It wasn't
until 1966, when Juliet Mills started getting attention in her role
opposite James Stewart and
Maureen O'Hara in the western
film The Rare Breed (1966). She
continued in television in the seventies as a recurring guest star on
The Love Boat (1977),
Wonder Woman (1975) and
Fantasy Island (1977). She got
her first starring television series,
Nanny and the Professor (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
Beyond the Door (1974) ("Beyond the Door") for
Film Ventures International, but it was pulled from theaters because it
resembled The Exorcist (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
The Other Sister (1999),
co-starring Diane Keaton and
Tom Skerritt. Juliet Mills has recently
been in the daytime drama (soap opera)
Passions (1999), playing "Tabitha",
the witch. She is married to actor
Maxwell Caulfield.
