Hayley Mills says taxes wiped out most of her Disney fortune
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Hayley Mills skyrocketed to fame as a child star under Walt Disney’s wing for seven years — only to see her once-promising fortune slip away.
The actress, whose most memorable roles included “Pollyanna” and “The Parent Trap,” recently appeared alongside her sister, Juliet Mills, on “The Rosebud Podcast.” The appearance celebrated Mills’ 80th birthday.
When host Gyles Brandreth pressed Mills on what became of “the millions” she earned during her Disney years, she replied, “I gave it to the tax man.”

“It was rather a big chunk,” she admitted. “It was most of it because it was all put into a trust fund, because super tax was 90% in those days, so they had to do something.”

“I do know the background of this, and it’s partly because you were poorly advised,” said Brandreth. “But also, it was partly to do with the naïveté of your father, I think. There was an innocence about him and a sort of optimism.”
“He had a business manager who made those sorts of decisions,” Juliet, 84, chimed in.

The Mills sisters come from a celebrated British acting family. Their father, Sir John Mills, was one of Britain’s most respected actors and had a career that spanned decades. Their mother, Mary Hayley Bell, was also an actress and a playwright.
“Stanley [Passmore] also advised Daddy, and not very well,” said Mills, referring to the family’s solicitor. “The trust company was set up for me. Stanley was also involved in setting up a trust company for [actor] Jack Hawkins. And the Inland Revenue attacked his trust company, which affected British law. It created the precedent.”

“And so, when I reached 21, instead of being given the key to the door, I was handed an envelope across a green baize tablecloth by Stanley, which was the Inland Revenue basically saying, ‘Thank you. You owe us 90% of your earnings,’” Mills continued. “And I’ve never been good at figures.”

“I said, ‘Well, what does this mean? I don’t understand.’ And Stanley laughed and said, ‘Well, I think it means you have to move to America [for work].’ And that’s all he ever said. He was a crook. He didn’t give a flying Dutchman.”

The Times of London reported that when Mills turned 21, she went to collect her money from the trust that her father and Passmore set up for her. However, she discovered that the trust hadn’t been set up correctly, and she had to pay a surtax of 91% on everything in it. While she contested it fiercely, there was no solution beyond suing her father or Passmore, the outlet reported.
On the podcast, Mills said she had a meeting with a prominent lawyer in hopes of fighting the case, but “it didn’t work.”

Lord Denning, one of Britain’s most powerful judges at the time, briefly gave Mills a win in her fight with the tax authorities. In the 1970s, he ruled in her favor, agreeing that it was unfair to tax her Disney earnings the way the government had. However, the victory didn’t stick. The case went to the House of Lords, which overturned Denning’s decision, leaving Mills on the hook for the massive bill that wiped out much of her fortune.

Mills pleaded her case to the British government for years, the Los Angeles Times reported. However, her appeal was denied for good in 1975. If she had won, Mills said she would have been able to keep about 2 million pounds, which is well over $17 million today.

“I didn’t have a sensible enough sense of my career and what I ought to be doing, but I didn’t want to do more Disney movies,” said Mills. “I wanted to spread my wings and have a greater choice and not be limited by that.
“[But] I didn’t know what to look for. I didn’t know who I was. There was this moment when we’re growing up where we’re really on that uncomfortable seesaw, being still one foot in childhood and the other foot in being a woman. And I found it awfully difficult to get both feet into womanhood because [there] was a part of me that didn’t want to disappoint people. ‘Oh, she’s not that cute little girl anymore. She’s what?’ I didn’t know what sort of thing to look for.”

Back in 2021, Mills told Fox News Digital she was “fortunate” to have had a better outcome than many other child stars in Hollywood.
“I was working for a studio with a boss who was a genuinely good man,” she explained at the time. “He cared about the people who worked for him. I also had the support of my parents, who were both in the business. So I had support. The business can really come at people like an express train. You’re suddenly surrounded by wealth and showered with attention at an immense pace. It’s very intense and very, very easy to lose your way unless you have that support.”

“I certainly had my struggles,” Mills admitted. “But I think we all face struggles growing up. You’re trying to make sense of life and who you are, except you’re trying to figure all of this out in Hollywood. When you’re in that environment, it’s hard to hang on to reality. But after I worked, I went home. I went to boarding school in England. So, in some ways, I think I had it better than others.”

In a recently reshared 2017 interview with “Nostalgia Tonight with Joe Sibilia,” Mills spoke of her close relationship with Disney, who died in 1966 at age 65.
“He was a great friend of my family as a result of my working there,” she told the outlet. “He got on terribly well with my mother and father, particularly my mom, who was very funny and had a wicked sense of humor, which Walt really appreciated. So, I always felt very happy in his company. He was a very warm, kind and sweet man. I loved him. I was really fond of him.”

“I always knew he was a brilliant, wonderful, amazing man,” Mills shared. “And he took us around his fantastic Disneyland. He took us all around. And how amazing is that, to be taken around Disneyland by Walt Disney? But I didn’t appreciate at the time how lucky I was to have actually begun my career in that studio with him at the head of it, because he ran it so well, and it was small, and everyone knew everyone else, and everyone knew everyone’s name. And so did he.”

Fashion’s Faustian pact: the high cost of Jeff Bezos’s Met Gala patronage | Met Gala 2026
The Met Gala in New York is the grandest and ritziest event in the fashion calendar, and an indicator of the growing ties between designers, celebrity and power. But with tech billionaires now joining the cohort, this year’s party may be its most controversial yet.
All eyes are on the guest list – and their outfits – to launch the fashion exhibition Costume Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. Beyoncé, Venus Williams and Nicole Kidman are chairing the event with Vogue’s Anna Wintour, and tickets cost about $100,000 (£73,500). But in a plot twist worthy of the new Devil Wears Prada film, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, the Met Gala’s new honorary chairs, will be joining the 450 guests on the museum steps on Monday.
The billionaires’ involvement as the main source of funding for the exhibition and the party has set tongues wagging, reviving rumours that the Amazon founder will buy Condé Nast, the parent company of Vogue, which oversees the gala. Last year there was speculation that Bezos would snap up the company as a wedding gift – it is thought the couple missed the 2025 gala only because of their starry wedding in Venice, although Sánchez Bezos appeared on Vogue’s digital cover in a Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown.
Skipping the event is Zohran Mamdani, breaking a decades-long tradition of New York mayors attending the gala. Parts of New York have been papered with posters criticising the Bezos’s involvement in the fundraiser, mounted by Everyone Hates Elon, a British activist group, which raised £15,000 in a week and is expected to be present on the night. “I love celebrity culture and fashion as much as anyone, but [Bezos’s involvement] makes Vogue seem irrelevant,” a spokesperson said. “Don’t tell me Bezos has been involved because of his fashion sense?”
Even before the politics, the gala dress code had become a hot topic. Titled “fashion is art”, it takes its cue from the exhibition’s theme, which argues that fashion and art are intertwined, “with bodies wearing clothes the common thread”, according to Andrew Bolton, the curator of the Met’s Costume Institute.
Split into 13 “thematic” body types, from pregnant and ageing to disabled and variations on nudity, the exhibition pairs about 200 sculptures and artworks alongside 200 garments and accessories. “The focus is on bodies marginalised in fashion, and ones that haven’t been valorised in either fashion or western culture,” said Bolton.
Highlights include a contorted corset by Michaela Stark paired with Niki de Saint Phalle’s Nana and Serpent sculpture, and a Sarah Lucas work next to wearable art made out of “Nora Batty-like stockings” by the British designer Harry Pontefract.
A late Roman Venus Pudica sculpture is paired with a dress that uses strategically placed human hair by the British-Turkish designer Dilara Findikoglu. A Burberry trench belonging to the disability activist Sinéad Burke and Batsheva Hay’s Hag jumper also feature, as do Rei Kawakubo gowns and Vivienne Westwood’s Martyr to Love jacket, which resembles a man’s upper body.
As ever, the link between the gala’s dress code and what materialises on the museum steps is tangential. “I’m sure there will be some nakedness,” said Bolton. “I also think we’ll get a lot of goddess gowns. But I do worry people might take the theme literally and come as a painting. Or at least Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup can.”
Still, he thinks the theme has never been more essential. “A lot of the developments fashion has made over the last few years have really eroded,” he said. “I don’t feel as if we’re seeing as much diversity on the runway as you did [then].”
While the theme will no doubt elicit some more literal translations, including Yves Saint Laurent’s Mondrian-inspired dresses, Cally Blackman, an associate lecturer of fashion history and theory at Central St Martins, hopes it will serve as a riposte to criticism about the value of fashion.
“It is the most powerful form of non-verbal communication that exists, yet we’re always fighting the battle [to prove its worth],” she said. “It’s only in the last 10 years that museums like the Met or the V&A have realised it gets more people over their thresholds.”
Bolton, who is preparing to reveal the Costume Institute’s new permanent home, the Condé M Nast Galleries, agrees. “For an art museum to position fashion in the centre of the building is symbolic,” he said. “I think people are realising not just the aesthetic value of fashion, but the social, cultural and personal ones.”
The gala is one of the most-watched red carpet events of the year, typically attracting 1bn global video views on Vogue’s site alone, and is fast outgrowing its philanthropic purpose, which is to raise funds for the New York museum. Blackman said: “The problem with the gala is that it’s … self-defeating. It’s not about fashion, it’s about publicity. I think a lot of the cachet has gone because it’s funded by Jeff Bezos.”

SC AG ALAN WILSON, STEPHEN FEDERICO: Logan’s death demands we get serious about crime
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
This Sunday marks one year since we lost Logan Federico.
For one of us, she was his daughter, a little girl grown into a beautiful young woman, and for him, along with his wife Melissa and his son Jacob, this is a fight they are facing together as a family. For the other, she represents a promise we must keep to every family in South Carolina.
Logan is more than a headline. She was a daughter, a friend, a young woman with her entire life ahead of her. She had a future full of promise and people who loved her deeply. That is what was taken.
She came to South Carolina to spend time with people she loved.
Instead, she was killed, brutally and unnecessarily, in an act of violence allegedly carried out by a man who had been in and out of prison for years with a lengthy rap sheet.
Let’s call this tragedy what it was. Let’s not shrink from the horror.
According to police reports, he broke into a home and stole an innocent life. He is responsible for his evil, deranged behavior. But the system failed to stop him, and that failure cost a family everything.
One year later, that loss does not fade. It does not get easier. But it does demand something of all of us. It demands action.
That is why we are fighting to fix the system: to close the loopholes, reform the judicial process, and slam the revolving door on career criminals.
It’s about fixing the failures that allow individuals with a long criminal record and multiple prior encounters with the justice system to continue endangering innocent people. Due to antiquated, outdated methods of keeping court and criminal records, and critical breakdowns in how information was tracked and shared, decision-makers did not have the full picture.
MOTHER OF DAUGHTER MURDERED BY MS-13 GANG MEMBER SPEAKS OUT IN FAVOR OF NEW BILL
That can never happen again. It should have never happened in the first place.
We must ensure law enforcement agencies from different jurisdictions, judges, and prosecutors have complete, accurate criminal histories before making decisions that affect someone’s freedom. It is necessary and common sense. And it is long overdue.
If we are serious about protecting our communities, we must take a harder look at sentencing and rehabilitation. Too often, repeat offenders are treated like first-time offenders. Charges are reduced. Sentences are light.
And then they are released and, in some cases, go on to hurt people again.
That is not compassion. That is failure.
Our system must recognize patterns of violent behavior and respond with consequences that protect innocent people.
We also need real judicial reform.
Judges make decisions every day that determine whether someone walks free or is held accountable. Those decisions must be rooted in transparency, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to public safety.
We cannot ignore the growing push toward eliminating cash bail.
I LED PEACEFUL PRO-LIFERS THE BIDEN ‘JUSTICE’ DEPT HUNTED. WE NOW KNOW HOW FAR THEY WENT
Bail is not about convenience. It is about safety. It exists to ensure that individuals who pose a danger are not released back into our communities before trial.
Anyone who poses a threat to innocent lives should not be released. Period.

Logan Federico should still be alive. This weekend should not be an anniversary. We should not be mourning an innocent life lost. We should still be enjoying time with her.
Her family should not be living with this pain. No family should, and no other innocent life should ever be taken because the system failed to act.

This Sunday, we remember Logan. We honor her life and everything she meant to those who loved her.
But remembrance is not enough. If we truly want to honor her, we must act.
Stephen Federico is the proud father of Logan Federico.

Who are the two Gaza flotilla activists abducted by Israel? | Gaza News
Two activists from a Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla have been presented before an Israeli court days after they were abducted following their detention with 175 other campaigners by Israel in international waters near Greece.
Spanish national Saif Abu Keshek and Brazilian Thiago Avila have been on a hunger strike during their detention although they have continued to drink water.
Recommended Stories
list of 3 itemsend of listThe Global Sumud Flotilla comprising more than 50 vessels had set sail from France, Spain and Italy on April 12 with the aim of breaking an Israeli blockade of Gaza and bringing supplies to the devastated Palestinian territory.
Gaza has been under an Israeli sea, land and air blockade since 2005, and since October 7, 2023, Israel has tightened its control over what goes in and out of the enclave – home to 2.3 million people.
The activists were intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters off Greece on Thursday. All of them were released except Abu Keshek and Avila.
So who are the two activists and why has Israel detained them?
Here’s what we know:
Who is Saif Abu Keshek?
Abu Keshek is a Spanish-Swedish national of Palestinian origin who was abducted from the flotilla off Crete on Thursday.
According to the website of the Global Sumud Flotilla, he is based in Barcelona and has been organising Palestinian solidarity movements across Europe for more than 20 years. He and his wife have three children, aged one, four and seven.
Before joining this year’s flotilla, “Abukeshek was a lead organiser in the Global March to Gaza and currently chairs the Global Coalition Against the Occupation in Palestine and represents the Intersindical Alternativa de Catalunya (IAC),” the website noted. “He also serves on the General Secretariat of the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad and sits on the board of the European Trade Union Network for Justice in Palestine”.
After Israel intercepted the flotilla on Thursday, Abu Keshek was abducted and transferred to Shikma Prison in Ashkelon. Shikma Prison (also known as Ashkelon Prison) in southern Israel has been frequently accused of harsh treatment and torture, particularly after Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza began in 2023.
Abu Keshek was subjected to torture on Saturday on an Israeli military vessel, the Global Sumud Flotilla said in a statement that was based on accounts from released activists.
The Israeli human rights organisation and legal centre Adalah visited the two men in Shikma Prison in Israel on Saturday and said: “The harrowing testimonies provided by both activists reveal physical violence and being held for prolonged periods in stress positions by Israeli military forces during the past two days they have spent at sea.”
Abu Keshek “reported being kept hand-tied and blindfolded, and being forced to lie face-down on the floor from the moment of his seizure until this morning, resulting in bruising to his face and hands”, it said.
“Avila reported being subjected to extreme brutality by the Israeli military during the seizure of the vessels,” it added, including being “dragged face-down across the floor and beaten so severely that he passed out twice”.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez delivered a message to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a speech on Friday, saying Spain would always protect its citizens and defend international law.
“We demand the release of the Spanish citizen who has been unlawfully detained by Netanyahu’s government,” he said.
Israel’s action has also prompted protests and condemnation from rights groups and governments. Turkiye’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs called it an “act of piracy”.

Who is Thiago Avila?
Avila is a socio-environmentalist from Brazil. According to the Global Sumud Flotilla’s website, the 38-year-old has a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter with his wife and has dedicated himself to solidarity with Palestine for more than 20 years.
“He is a Steering Committee member of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and was one of the coordinators onboard the Madleen mission that was intercepted and kidnapped by the Zionist entity in June 2025,” the website noted.
Avila was put in solitary confinement in Israel’s Ayalon Prison on June 11, 2025, for several days after he was abducted during the Freedom Flotilla mission.
According to the Brazilian embassy, after his recent detention in Israel in Shikma Prison, Avila reported being subjected to torture, beatings and mistreatment.
“During a monitored visit in which he was separated by glass and unable to communicate freely, embassy officials observed visible marks on his face. He reported significant pain, particularly in his shoulder,” the Global Sumud Flotilla said in a statement.
What did the court say?
On Sunday, the court in Ashkelon, Israel, approved a two-day extension to the detention of the activists who were brought to Israel for questioning.
“The court extended their detention by two days,” said Miriam Azem, the international advocacy coordinator at Adalah, which represents the men, told the AFP news agency.
Israeli authorities had earlier asked the court to extend their detention by four days.
“The Global Sumud Flotilla reiterates that the forced transfer of civilians from international and European waters into custody, combined with credible allegations of torture and the absence of due process, constitutes a serious violation of international law and must be met with accountability,” the flotilla said in a statement.
The organisation has also called on governments, human rights organisations, legal institutions, media outlets and civil society worldwide to demand their release.

Paige Spiranac shows the Kentucky Derby love, Ivana Knoll stole the show at Miami Grand Prix & grilling season
Welcome to the first Sunday in May, which means we’re about to turn the corner to my favorite time of year. That’s, of course, summer. What’s not to love about the warmer weather and the sunshine?
We’re talking beaches, bikinis and baseball. Before we dive into this week’s Sunday Screencaps I want to go ahead and warn you, it’s an email-heavy one. Not because I intended it to be. I had a couple of things set aside to get into that I’m just not going to have time to get to.
It’s only my second week putting Screencaps together on the new platform and I decided that since the emails were there and they had pictures that I would dive into that whole process to get an idea of how long it takes to get those uploaded.
It’s a process. It takes time and I’m going to have to work through it. That said, if you sent something in and I didn’t get to it, I will next Sunday. Keep the emails and your meat coming. We’ll figure it out.

Paige Spiranac shows the Kentucky Derby some love
It was a busy weekend with the Kentucky Derby, the Miami Grand Prix and the Boston Celtics blowing a 3-1 leadthe Miami Grand Prix, and the Boston Celtics blowing a 3-1 lead to the Philadelphia 76ers, which you really hate to see.
The Red Sox stink, the Patriots lost the Super Bowl and then all the Mike Vrabel drama that has been swirling. Not to mention the fact that the Bruins were just sent packing in the first round of the NHL playoffs.
Boston is down right now, and again, you really hate to see it.
Enough about Boston and their professional sports taking a slide back into the darkness where they belong. Let’s move on. We have Paige Spiranac dropping a throwback to get to.

When it comes to the Kentucky Derby, other than Jordon Hudson grabbing some of the spotlight at the Kentucky Oaks, it was relatively quiet this year. Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and his girlfriend Marissa Ayers were popping up on my timeline every time I turned around, but nobody put on a performance like the one Paige Spiranac did when she attended the event. Not many do.
She wasn’t in attendance at the event this year, but reminded everyone that she loves it and hopes to go back in the future. She also took the opportunity to remind everyone of what she wore when she did attend. It’s an outfit that belongs in the Kentucky Derby hall of fame.

Florida In-State Weekend Trip

Hey SeanJo,
Great work on today’s Screencaps! In typical Floridian fashion, we went to another part of Florida for a weekend getaway. While we live in greater West Palm Beach, we love going to Southwest Florida, mostly Bonita Springs and Fort Myers Beach, but also Naples, Sanibel Island, and Captiva Island. We went to Naples and stayed at the mini Margaritaville hotel called Compass. Lots of travel ball soccer families, though. I think this happens every year and late April, they do giant soccer tournament. Although it’s travel, at least it’s a local because everybody was from somewhere in Florida. And not further than three hours away from what I understand. Make Rec Ball Great Again!
Had a great time in downtown Bonita last night, watching a local country singer from Miami named Gabriel Key (he got the crowd going), along with some tasty drinks. As you can see by my old-fashioned and my wife’s espresso martini, we are drinking arguably the most popular drinks for men and women in America. I contend the dudes and dudettes drinking IPAs eight years ago, the really fancy ones, are now bourbon bros as Joe likes to call him. I’m a wannabe bourbon bro.
Take care!

On World Press Freedom Day, Pope honours journalists killed in war zones | Freedom of the Press News
The pope urged the rememberance of journalists who lost their lives pursuing the truth, particularly in conflict areas.
Published On 3 May 2026
Pope Leo has marked World Press Freedom Day by condemning violations of media freedom around the world and paying tribute to journalists killed while reporting in conflict zones.
At the end of his weekly Sunday prayer in a sunny Saint Peter’s Square at the Vatican, the pontiff said the day highlighted both the importance of independent journalism and the growing threats faced by reporters.

World Press Freedom Day, sponsored by the UN cultural agency UNESCO is intended to show support for media organisations that come under pressure or censorship. It is also an opportunity to commemorate journalists who have been killed at work.
The Roman Catholic leader urged the faithful to remember journalists and reporters who have lost their lives pursuing the truth, particularly in conflict areas.
“We remember the many journalists and reporters who have been victims of war and violence,” the pope said.
A report last month by the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs’ Costs of War project found that Israel’s war on Gaza was the deadliest conflict for media workers ever recorded, with Israeli forces having killed 232 Palestinian journalists since October 2023.
More journalists have been killed in Gaza than in both world wars, the Vietnam War, the wars in Yugoslavia, and the United States war in Afghanistan combined, the report found.
In past speeches, the leader of the Catholic Church has described journalism as a pillar of society and democracy, and information as a public good that must be safeguarded and defended.
The pontiff has often thanked reporters for sharing the truth, saying that doing their job could never be considered a crime, and frequently calling for the release of journalists who have been unfairly detained or prosecuted.
Last week, the leading Paris-based press freedom NGO, Reporters Sans Frontières (RSF), or Reporters Without Borders, found that freedom of the press around the world has fallen to its lowest level in a quarter of a century.
For the first time since RSF started producing the index in 2002, it said more than half of the world’s countries fall into the “difficult” or “very serious” categories for press freedom – “a clear sign that journalism is increasingly criminalised worldwide”.
