and well this he was always looking for a new C oh both sides of the camp that's how we found the Sherman Brothers in addition to our next two very special guests they made their American big screen debuts for wal buy one of them had already made a film with her father in England one of them had been introduced to all of us by none of than Rogers and Hammerstein they went on to great careers they're still enjoying great careers and great lives but they started with the Sherman Brothers and wal please welcome to the stage Haley Mills and Leslie an [Applause] [Music] my biggest frustration with Haley is that she just keeps getting more and more beautiful and it's rude give somebody else a chance you're both about me lady you are stunning all day don't even start with me right can we get one more time because [Applause] really miss you it's well it's kind of overwhelming having these these women here with us um all right Leslie tell us your first experience with Richard shm and and with b b okay so I was 18 and a half when I um was asked to come out and test for to do a big screen test for the happiest millionaire and um I had to learn two songs I had to learn some choreography and a couple of scenes and even though I had come directly from Broadway where I'd been singing dancing and acting for 4 months I was terrified totally terrified but Richard and Robert made me feel so incredibly comfortable their warmth specifically Richard was so engaging and warm and welcoming and um I got the job then there been de uh Richard and I were both in um well are both in it's hard to talk about that um The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and they have screenings there every week and I would go to the screenings and Richard would go as well and it was always such a joy to see him um what was interesting to me was every time I saw him I would feel back into that 18yearold girl that that I had been around him the very first time he was so lovely and so fun and so warm and um yeah I adored that [Music] [Applause] man you also got to star in another musical Disney musical made right after Walt's passing yes one and only genuine original family band musicals were becoming something of a rarity mhm so it was special yes you and what are your memories of that experience um it was a fantastic experience and Kurt Russell played my younger brother and Goldie Han played my competitive dance person in the movie which was kind of interesting um but my favorite one of my favorite memories was a song called the happiest girl alive which I got to sing in this big scen field um with all these horses running by me and she the character she was she had just fallen in love with John Davidson and he had written her a letter and she was holding this letter to her heart after reading it and meant so much to her and um what I what I specifically remember about their music was as an actor they fulfilled your understanding your need to understand what the character is feeling yeah um so that you felt supported not just by the beautiful Melody and and song lyrics and but you understood what the character was feeling what she wanted what what was on her mind and that was um one of the greatest Gifts of doing their music for me and every song was in context yes it was threaded into the movie yes it's not just sort of plucked into the moves the story alone Haley you made four films for Walt Disney and I will tell you she has a memoir out now and it's fantastic she's only paying me a little bit of money to tell you that but it's a beautiful Memoir because it honors your life and Walt and everyone that you worked with and your incredible parents uh I'm sorry I had to uh what do you remember about working with Richard on those films well um I I first met Richard when I came over here from London to make The Parent [Applause] Trap and um uh um I went up to Walt office office he said I want you to meet two very important people and I went into wal's office and there in the office standing by a baby grand piano with these two extremely attractive young men I was delighted I was 14 they were absolutely charming and made me feel very very welcome and uh Robert was the quieter of the two and lovely and Richard was more evalent and he came up to me and he said hey hey Haley uh uh hi I said hi and he said um we're going to play for you the song that you're going to sing in the movie I said good great and he said now we're going to sing it for you but of course you will sing it much better than us which was patently untrue so he sat down at the piano and started banging out if that's not a rude way of putting it the tune of let's get together and they sand it both of them with all their heart and soul extremely well and at the end of it they made me laugh and that was the first time I heard that song and Richard was warm and lovely and in all encompassing as everybody has said he made you feel that he was a human being who was doing exactly what he wanted to do he he knew that he was really good about what he was doing and it was his special purpose and he was a happy man and it you know he it was very infectious they both were they were both lovely now the second memory of them was the day that I had to record the song it was in the recording studio at Disney Studios and um I was very nervous and and I said to them uh I said I am very nervous because I'm not a singer and Richard said oh he said don't worry you're an actor so act being a singer it was very good advice so I did and and I i' I've I've done it all my life what a good actress you were even at that age yeah what you acted you acted a song you yes exact well it's like lesli said you know well you do have to act songs Don't you after all you're expressing you know the emotion of your character you you have to act it funny you should say that haly funny you should say that you have to act and that you two would be together having uh the same
