Mills began her career as a child actress. She was nominated for a Tony Award for her stage performance in ''Five Finger Exercise'' in 1960. She progressed to film work, and then to television, playing the lead role in the sitcom ''Nanny and the Professor'' in 1970-71. She received Golden Globe nominations for her work in this series and for her role in the film ''Avanti!'' in 1972. She won an Emmy Award for her performance in the television miniseries ''QB VII'' (1974).〔 From 1999 until 2008, she had a continuing role in the daytime drama series ''Passions'',〔''Soapography'', "Juliet Mills and Greg Vaughn"〕 for which she was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award. From 28 May 2015, Mills will tour Australia with her husband Maxwell Caulfield and her sister Hayley Mills in the comedy ''Legends!'' by James Kirkwood. ==Career== As a child, Mills appeared as an extra in various films, including a role as Freda's 11-week-old baby in the 1942 film ''In Which We Serve'', starring her father.〔 Her first major role came in 1958, when she was 16, in the Peter Shaffer play ''Five Finger Exercise'', as "Pamela Harrington". The show ran one year in London, and then moved to the Music Box Theatre on Broadway. In 1960, Mills was nominated for a Tony Award as "Best Featured Actress" for her performance as Pamela. In the 1960s she would act both in films and on television, including the film, ''The Rare Breed'' with James Stewart and Maureen O'Hara, and on television shows such as ''The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'', ''Ben Casey'', and ''12 O'clock High''. The 1970s saw her working mostly in television, although she has stated that the highlight of her film career was the 1972 film ''Avanti!'', directed by Billy Wilder, in which she starred with Jack Lemmon, and for which she received a Golden Globe Award nomination in 1973.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Golden Globes, USA, Awards for 1973 )〕 She is perhaps best known for starring in the American television series ''Nanny and the Professor'', which was called an American version of ''Mary Poppins''.〔 She played Phoebe Figalilly, a nanny with magical powers. Mills has stated that she herself believes in magic, witches and fairies: "There's a lot more, you know, in the aether and around us ... We have guides, and we have angels taking care of us ... I believe in metaphysics, in a big way."〔 She was again nominated for another Golden Globe Award in 1971 for the same role. Despite strong ratings, the series ran only two seasons, in 1970 and 1971. When it moved from a timeslot near ''The Partridge Family'' and ''The Brady Bunch'', two hugely successful sitcoms, to a different night of the week, ratings fell eventually leading to its cancellation.〔 In 1974, she won an Emmy Award for "Outstanding Single Performance by a Supporting Actress in a Comedy or Drama Special" for her performance in the miniseries adaptation of ''QB VII''. During the 1974–75 television season, she also had a recurring role as Dr. Claire Hanley on NBC's ''Born Free''. In 1980, Mills returned to the stage, starring in ''The Elephant Man'', with Maxwell Caulfield. The two actors hit it off, and the younger Caulfield became her third husband, leading Mills to withdraw from acting for a time. In 1999, she was cast in the daytime drama ''Passions'' as Tabitha Lenox, a witch who was burned at the stake in the 17th century. Initially, the character wished harm on other people, but in a June 2007 episode, the character was declared a "good witch."〔(SoapOperaFan.com Episode Summary )〕 Mills was nominated for her first Daytime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Lead Actress" for the role. The series ended in August 2008. In 2009, Mills joined the cast the ITV drama ''Wild at Heart'', playing "Georgina", the sister of a character played in the previous series by her real-life sister Hayley. She also guest-starred in two episodes of ''Hot in Cleveland'' as Philipa Scroggs, Joy (played by Jane Leeves)'s mother. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Juliet Mills」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
