5 comments about Biography: Hayley Mills.

1. As a lifelong fan of Hayley Mills I enjoyed this video enormously, and recommend it to all of my fellow fans. Hayley Mills' astonishing career began with a starring role in the British film Tiger Bay, in which she stole the whole movie from her famous father, John Mills. It led to awards from the British and German movie academies, but, more importantly, it brought her to the attention of the legendary Walt Disney, who was looking for someone to star in his upcoming film Pollyanna. That movie made Hayley Mills an international movie star and was followed by The Parent Trap, which made her an even bigger star. This documentary traces her whole remarkable career, including her two marriages, her stage performances, and her eventual return to Disney, where she made several successful sequels to The Parent Trap and the film Back Home. There are interviews with sister Juliet Mills, father John Mills, and various other fascinating characters, including Hayley Mills herself. If you're a fan, check this one out. I have watched mine several times. It really is delightful.



2. A&E's "Biography" has done bios on Shirley Temple and Annette Funicello,but Hayley's bio was great! It had interviews with Hayley Mills,her father John Mills,her sis Juliet Mills, Juliet's husband Maxwell Caufield,"The Parent Trap" co-star Maureen O'Hara and "Pollyanna" co-star Nancy Olsen. For almost 55 years,Hayley Mills is really somebody other cable networks can do. Yeah,Yeah,Yeah!



3. There is only one probelm with this video. It needs to be 2 hours long instead of just 50 minutes in length.Hayley was the child star in the 1960's.In America she is mainly noted for her work for Disney. In the UK, she did some more serious work while still a child.Coming from a talented Mother and Father, Hayley no doubt inherited a lot of her extraordinary talent from her parents. Her older sister Juliet is also well known for her work.I have viewed her childhood films from England and they are quite extraordinary. She won many awards both in England and the United States for her performances. It is unfortunate that many Americans have never viewed Tiger Bay (now on DVD) or Whistle Down the Wind (very hard to find in the US right now).Underneath all the glamour of being a child star lived a little girl who was very insecure.In between films, she stayed at a British boarding school. In many ways she was a happy sheltered child of loving parents.Her educated was interrupted so much for her many films that she left school at the age of 15.Sensitive about her normal weight in the 1960's when it was fashionable to be quite thin, she became bulemic.The documentary goes on to show Hayley striking out on her own and shocking her parents by marrying a man 33 years older than she was.The biography is well rounded with interviews From Hayley, Juliet and John Mills as well as Juliet's husband.This is a documentary I shall view over ond over again



4. If you love Hayley (and HOW could anyone NOT love her) you'll love this biography of her life. She is by far the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. No one else even comes close!

1. This video truly depicts how for about half a century, the most powerful man in the world was not the President, but Hoover himself.

5 comments about Biography: Bill Gates - Sultan of Software.

1. As with most of the "Biography" series they put a heavy spin on their reporting. Luckily it favors the subject. This starts off with his grandparents and works its way down to almost this minute. The pictures and other visuals form living locations and friends help you understand what goes into making the Microsoft Empire.
   
   Unfortunately it makes you thing that Microsoft and IBM who were both latecomers to the micro computer field, are the only players in the microcomputer business. In reality IBM was a latecomer and had their machines manufacturing farmed out because they had no expertise. They approached Digital Research for the operating system, as CP/M from Digital Research was the universal operating system for ALL small computers.
   
   You may want to look up books on CP/M before viewing this tape. One book is "CP/m and the Personal Computer." Anyway They Digital Research did not trust IBM. So IBM or Bill purchased a CP/M work alike knockoff from a person down the street. Ever sense the original purchase they have incorporated UNIX work alike code to change this MSDOS system to a single user UNIX work alike. Now the system is convoluted with the addition of "Active Directory."



2. I thought this was a very inspirational riches to extreme riches book on Bill Gates. Interviews from everyone except Bill Gates on Gates and Microsoft; from the beginning to the present release date. There were a lot of traditional Microsoft euphemisms, but good nonetheless.



3. This video contains most everything one needs to know to have a basic understanding of the Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates. It chronicles his entire life to the date of filming. My favorite part was the heartfelt interviews with the father of the genius. What Bill Gates has accomplished with his life, is pretty amazing for a man still fairly young. The big question that looms over most of the philanthropic world, is what is Bill Gates going to do with the rest of his life? Possible answers to that question are addressed.



4. Without a doubt, Bill Gates will go down in history as one of the most influential people of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In this tape, he is rightfully compared to industry titans such as Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford and John Rockefeller. Each of these people led an industry that was essential to the development of the American economy. Certainly, computing should also be included in this category.
   Although some of the events in the life of Microsoft are covered, the majority of the minutes are devoted to the personal life of Bill Gates. He was born into a wealthy family where competition was an essential activity, and it is clear that this is where he acquired his intensely competitive nature. It is hardly a surprise that Trey, which was his nickname, was at times difficult to handle. While he was fortunate in that he was able to work with computers at an early age, it is unreasonable to call him lucky. Clearly, even as a child he exhibited extraordinary vision, something that he retains as he reaches middle age. This is the primary reason why Gates was able to achieve much of his success. All indications are that he is a devoted family man as well. He is shown with his wife and child and there is no question that he is a doting dad.
   While all this is interesting on the human level, that is not why we are interested in biographies of Gates. Our interest in him is due to his leadership of Microsoft, a company both admired and reviled. Nearly everyone in industrialized countries is affected by the decisions made by the Microsoft leadership, so we are interested in his business activity and how those decisions are made. This is where the tape is the weakest, as we do not learn enough about the professional side of Gates.
   However, overall the tape is worth viewing. We are all the consequences of our childhood and so, to understand Gates and what he is, we start by looking at how he was raised. To out-compete someone, you need to learn about their personal characteristics and from this tape, you can learn some of the fundamentals of the richest person in the world.



5. The documentary is rich and very informative. I found itvery interesting and inspiring too.But the context of the material should have gone beyond the American society. The influence of Bill Gates is felt all around the world.Concerning the audio aspect, the sound quality could have been better. Also, mr. Gates should have been interviewed on his vision and what we should expect from Microsoft in the next decade.
