With both of them in the entertainment industry, Mills first made her way onto the screen after signing a contract with Warner Brothers. She had minor roles in comedies such as “Nurse on Wheels” (1963) and “Carry on Jack” (1964).

However, it was in 1966 that she began to gain real attention, starring alongside James Stewart and Maureen O’Hara in the western film “The Rare Breed.”
