Shirley Mills

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shirley Mills (born April 8, 1926, Tacoma, Washington) was an American actress. Starting her career as a dancer, she later starred in such films as The Grapes of Wrath, Child Bride, and the Shirley Temple film Young People. She stopped making films in her early twenties, and went on to be a singer and a data processing salesperson. Mills, a devout Christian, lives in California.

Mills's greatest notoriety was probably from her role in Child Bride, made when she was only twelve years old. As the title character, she is shown nude in a "skinny dipping" scene, which became the basis for Child Bride being exhibited for many years as an exploitation film.
