Mandy Miller (born Carmen Isabella Miller on 23 July 1944) is an English former child actress who made a number of films in the 1950s. She is also remembered for her recording of the 1956 song "Nellie the Elephant".
Early life
Carmen Isabella Miller, known professionally as Mandy Miller, was born in 1944.
Career
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 from his pursuers. She put in a much-praised performance in her second film, another Ealing production, Mandy (1952), playing a deaf-mute child whose parents (played by Terence Morgan and Phyllis Calvert) did not know how to cope with bringing her up. This briefly made her a leading actress.
Her next film was Background (1953), with two other child actors, in a film about a family breaking up because of an impending divorce. Like Mandy, this was a drama about a well-to-do middle-class family; Valerie Hobson played her mother. In 1954, she had a starring role in Adventure in the Hopfields, a film made for the Children's Film Foundation. She also had lighter roles, such as in Raising a Riot (1955) starring Kenneth More. Some of her other co-stars were Joan Greenwood, Cecil Parker, Godfrey Tearle, Thora Hird and Sam Wanamaker. She also appeared in television dramas.
Miller made two popular single records: "Snowflakes" and "Nellie the Elephant", the latter produced by George Martin.
In 1962, at the age of 18, she gave up acting and moved to New York City to become an au pair.
Personal life
Miller's sister is the actress Jan Miller, and her niece is the actress Amanda Pays.
In 1965, she married Christopher Davey, an architect, and had three children.
