Mandy Miller
Carmen Isabella “Mandy” Miller (born July 23, 1944 in Weston-super-Mare , United Kingdom ) is a British former film and television actress .
Live and act
Not yet seven years old, Carmen Isabella Miller, who was always called "Mandy" by her parents, was brought to the film. She made her debut as a little girl in the famous Ealing comedy The Man in the White Suit , which aids Alec Guinness in his escape from his pursuers. Just one year later, she received the title role of the deaf-mute girl Mandy Garland in the family drama Mandy , which not only made Mandy Miller known suddenly, but also earned her a 1953 nomination for the BAFTA Film Award as the most promising new discovery.
This was followed by other films in which Miller was often used as a serious girl, but also as a sweet twink on duty. In 1956 she sang the theme song for the popular English television series Nellie the Elephant , with which she was again able to achieve great success. As early as 1958, after she played Peter van Eyck's staunch opponent in the thriller The Snorkel , Mandy Miller withdrew from film work. Until 1963 she was still seen in television productions, individual films and series.
In 1962, Mandy Miller went to New York City as an au pair girl and three years later married an architect with whom she had three children. Mandy Miller Davey lives in England again today. She is the aunt of actress Amanda Pays .
