Hayley Mills |
The ALS Association Golden West Chapter is thrilled to welcome Ms. Hayley Mills to the cast of the 3rd annual ONE STARRY NIGHT: A Special Performance Dedicated to Conquering ALS on Monday, August 15, 2016 at the Pasadena Playhouse. The public is invited to join Honorary Co-Chairs pop superstar Miley Cyrus and Pilates guru Mari Winsor for this one-night-only benefit in support of the ALS community featuring a rich gathering of talent from stage and screen.
Internationally known for her Disney Studios film debut, Mills won critical raves and box-office success for her role in POLLYANNA (1960). She received a special juvenile Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for most promising newcomer for her performance. Her second Disney film, THE PARENT TRAP (1961), in which she played identical twin sisters, was even more popular. She continued to appear in routinely in Disney films like IN SEARCH OF THE CASTAWAYS (1962), and SUMMER MAGIC (1963). Mills also appeared in films outside the studio like WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND (1961), based on her mother, novelist-playwright Mary Hayley Bell’s novel, and THE CHALK GARDEN (1964), co-starring with her father, the great actor Sir John Mills. Though Disney gave her a somewhat more adult role in the mystery film, THE MOON-SPINNERS (1964), Mills had begun to tire of her sunny, innocent image and on screen personality. After completing THAT DARN CAT! (1965), which was a big success as was her first non-Disney film, Columbia’s THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS (1966), she stopped working with the Disney studio for many years until you appeared in, THE PARENT TRAP II, over 20 years later. She shocked many of her fans by appearing in the comedy THE FAMILY WAY (1966) with her father. She appeared in three TV-movie sequels to THE PARENT TRAP (1961) in the late 1980’s, and also appeared in the BBC miniseries THE FLAME TREES OF THIKA (1981) and many TV series including, THE LOVE BOAT, MURDER SHE WROTE , and SAVED BY THE BELL. Ms. Mills appears through the generous underwriting by: Jennifer Mkrtchyan, Al & Andrea Boyer, Howard Green, Jonas Rivera, Dale Hansen, Bo Dean, and Joy Chapman.
Proceeds from One Starry Night will provide funding for the Chapter’s mission critical priorities in care services, public policy, and cutting-edge global research toward treatments and cure for ALS. The evening will also include a pre-show reception, silent auction, and post-show dessert with a special “meet-and-greet” with the cast. Grammy Award-nominee Bruce Kimmel will direct the production, with musical direction and orchestrations provided by Richard Allen. This star-studded event is produced by Juliana Hansen, Patty Ramsey, Melissa Verdugo, and Patrick McMinn, and has a growing list of presenters and performers which includes (in alphabetical order) Jason Alexander (“Seinfeld”, “Jerome Robbins Broadway”), Carly Bracco (“Grease Live!”), Juliana Hansen (NBC’s “Grease, You're The One That I Want!”), Bill Hayes (“Days of our Lives”), Jean Louisa Kelly (“Into the Woods”), Scott Land (variety performer), Wendy Liebman (Comedian), Hal Linden (“Barney Miller”), Kate Linder (“Young and the Restless”), Reagan Pasternak (Disney Channel's "In A Heartbeat,"), Valarie Pettiford (“Fosse”), Adam Ray (“Ghostbusters,” “Spy”), Richard Sherman (Disney's “Mary Poppins”, “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”, “The Jungle Book”), Sami Staitman (“House of Lies,” Funny or Die’s “Big”), Danny Stiles, (Broadway and Stage Actor), Mari Winsor (Co-Chair/Presenter), Jo Anne Worley(“Wicked” Rowan & Martin’s “Laugh In”), Robert Yako (Broadway, Film and TV actor), John Lloyd Young (“Jersey Boys”), and more to be announced.
