Mandy Miller (born 23 July 1944 in Somerset,
England) was a United Kingdom|British child actor
who made a number of films in the 1950s. Actually
named Carman but called Mandy by her family. Her
career tended to involve serious acting roles
rather than comedy, even in her first small part
in The Man in the White Suit, where she was a
sad-faced little girl who helped Alec Guinness
escape his pursuers. She was a natural actress and
put in a much praised performance in her second
film,  another Ealing production, Mandy (1953),
playing a deaf child who's parents do not know how
to cope with raising her. The other leads were
Jack Hawkins and Phyllis Calvert. She was just as
convincing in the next film Background (1952),
along with the other two child actors in this film
about a family breaking up due to an impending
divorce. Like Mandy, this was a drama about a
well-to-do middle class family. Valerie Hobson
played the mother.

She had lighter roles such as in Raising A Riot
(1955) starring Kenneth More. Just some of her
other famous co-stars were Joan Greenwood, Cecil
Parker, Godfrey Tearle, Thora Hird, Sam Wanamaker
and Joan Carroll, one of the stars of the M.G.M.
musical Meet Me In St. Louis. Mandy Miller also
made a single record, familiar to British people
of a certain age, called Nelly The Elephant.

She also appeared in TV dramas, making films until
she was 18. Although she did not continue her
career as an adult, her films are well remembered
and she recently featured in a magazine article
bringing readers up to date on her life. She now
lives in the United States.
