The Parent Trap wouldn't have been as special without the remarkable performances by Hayley Mills.

Audiences in London called me the girl with the black cherry eyes.

I really wanted to be an opera soprano.

Being an Irishwoman means many things to me. An Irishwoman is strong and feisty. She has guts and stands up for what she believes in. She believes she is the best at whatever she does and proceeds through life with that knowledge. She can face any hazard that life throws her way and stay with it until she wins. She is loyal to her kinsmen and accepting of others. She's not above a sock in the jaw if you have it coming.

I had always been a tomboy - I still am, at heart.
