Biography

Brooke Mills was a very capable and beautiful redhead actress and dancer who popped up in a handful of movies and TV shows during her regrettably short-lived career. She was born as Dolores Ann Williams on January 17, 1949 in St. Joseph, Missouri. Mills made her film debut with an uncredited bit part as a model in Live a Little, Love a Little (1968). Brooke gave an especially inspired and animated performance as pathetic whacked-out heroin addict prison inmate Harrad in Jack Hill's excellent babes-behind-bars drive-in exploitation romp The Big Doll House (1971). Her other memorable roles include the troubled Grace MacDonald in the odd horror feature Dream No Evil (1970), the crazy Leslie Dean in the sleazy Legacy of Blood (1971), and liberated photography teacher Tracy Davis in the immensely fun The Student Teachers (1973). Moreover, Mills had guest spots on such TV shows as The F.B.I. (1965), Night Gallery (1969), The Mod Squad (1968), Mission: Impossible (1966), Marcus Welby, M.D. (1969), Barbary Coast (1975), and Police Story (1973). Alas, Mills called it a day as an actress in 1977.
