More What's My Line?
It's time for another Mystery Guest segment of What's My Line?, and the 'Mystery Guest' here is Hayley Mills. The segment is low-key but charming -- which is only fitting.
I had occasion to meet her once, maybe about 25 years ago. My whimsically magical friend Philippa Salisbury was developing a screenplay she wrote – which I later was brought in to help rewrite. She was friends with Hayley Mills (which isn't terribly surprising since Philippa tended to become friends with most anyone she crossed paths with, no matter who, whether famous or someone on the street asking her directions), and the hope was to get her to star in it. That didn’t pan out (not for any reasons with Hayley), though we all met at the hotel where she was staying. At this point, I don’t remember any of the conversation, other than I enjoyed it – and Philippa always kept saying for years after how nice it was that I made Hayley laugh. Mind you, I have no idea what I said that was so funny, but I'm happy to take Philippa's word for it.
If you want to skip directly to the segment, just jump to the 17:30 mark.
