Most amazing was Miss Mills acting and reacting to herself in the previously-shot scene filmed 20 - 30 minutes earlier. When I saw this as a child in the theater, I thought these were twins in real life, it was so seamless.

I loved Disney way back when. Walt Disney was an honorable man. He must be rolling over in his grave seeing how demoralized his company has become!

I never know Ub continue to work for Disney. I thought he must had quit when Disney told a journalist he was the solo illustrator of Mickey Mouse. But I guess they buried the hatch and continue to work together.

Very interesting. A well deserved duck award. So glad she and Hayley are still friends after all these years.

mom and me love it

Lindsey Lohan could never compete with Walt and Haley!!!

I Love this and the interview with Susan! I had no idea how this was done and I’m so thankful to have a better understanding now. It’s Wonderful!! Such a Great movie and it’s Really Well Done! One of my Absolute Favorite Movies!! Great cast, too!

They must have really had their hearts set on Hayley Mills, if they were willing to go to all this trouble instead of just hiring twins 😂

She is very gracious and uplifting in this interview.

I wish I could be an actor in the parent trap

What a wonderful woman.

👍 👍

You bet it worked! Whenever I see someone in a dual role, I think of this film. I have great respect for people in film, along with special effects like this.

Thank you for showing me the other twin Susan. I like her.

That's a wonderful story.

It's a movie that has stood the test of time..great then , heart warming now.

This was one of my all-time favorite movies as a kid and one I still love today. I did not believe my mom for YEARS that two people played the twins. (Not doubting Susan in this video, I was just a stubborn kid.) I'm glad that she was recognized for all of the hard work in matching with Hayley!

Love this the original!

Wow. What en experience

I wonder what all else Disney has lied to us about.

11 years ago and I just saw this LOL great to know how and who the other twin was in group shots

Hi, does anyone know what the movie that flashes up at 1:10 is? That 2 second scene is one of my earliest childhood memories and I have never had any idea what movie was from and whether I would ever see it again….and now here it is!

Had to take advantage of the new technology somehow

I don't know if she is but Susan Henning should be a Disney legend. It was my 10 year old (1961) Disney favorite movie. She was such a big part of it.

Wow. Fascinating stuff. Always interesting to hear how these feats are pulled off.

Walt Disney was an amazing filmmaker and cartoonist.

They did such a good job with this film. If I see a movie with Haley Mills in it, other than the Parent Trap, I still think for a moment, I wonder where her twin sister is?

I always wondered how they made this movie back in the 60’s, Hayley did a great job at it. I just watched this movie and hadn’t watched it since I was a kid. She was so cute.

oops they.

the most incredible shot was when thet hugged,so clever.

Somethinbeging that's usually not mentioned about this film is the use of people not usually considered "stars" at the film's beginning-specifically Nancy Kulp(then remembered for "The Bob Cummings Show") and the brilliant Ruth McDevitt as -Miss Inch. I feel theyy got Parent Trap off to a strong start.

Susan is the blonde in Elvis’s comeback special during the brothel scene, they had about a year long affair. She also makes an appearance in his movie Live A Little Love A Little, as a model dressed as a mermaid.

It kinda occurred to me how talented Haley Mills is. Like at the same level as Lindsay Lohan. I know it’s one person but I feel like I’m still watching twins.

Such a cool story. You can tell for an actress that wasn't billed on the movie, she's immensely proud and should be! She did an exceptional job. Te 1961 Parent Trap is one of my favorite movies! I loved Brian Keith and Maureen O'Hara is stunning in the movie. I gew up with Haley Mills as one of myfavorite actresses. I knew Haley had all the speaking parts and was featured as both twins, but the movie wouldn't have been as good as it was if there hadn't been someone to fill in! I love the award they gave her, it's so unique! I would have loved an opportunity like that! I think any girl would. I wasn't born yet when The Parent Trap was filmed. I wasn't born till 66, but the first film I saw at year end school assembly was this movie. I was in Kindergarten, lol! I was totally mesmerized. A few years later when my parents divorced, I lived with my Dad. Rare back then. I remember going to summer camp ad thinking my life could have mirrored the situation! Except I wasn't a twin, I had three brothers who lived with my Mom, I was the eldest child. I remember coming home from camp to find a stranger woman with my Dad. I remembered the movie and thought oh brother! My step mom and I got along great though. Ahhh the memories!

These same technics were used in some 60's T.V shows where actors and actresses would play duel roles. What is beyond my understanding is why duel roles were kept secret back then. For example, in Bewitched Elizabeth Montgomery played both Samantha and her cousin Serena-but Serena was credited as being played by Pandora Spox to keep the duel role a secret. And in The Addams Family it was worse, because while Carolyn Jones would play a duel role as both Morticia and her sister Ophelia, no credit was given for who played Ophelia, which must have been puzzling for some. After watching Hayle Mills play a duel role, I came to love the idea of playing twins and even tried it out myself with photos, creating an imaginary twin for myself-as a teenager-so I could have the joy of playing a duel role as twins, taking two photos, then joining then to look like one photo of two girls! When I saw Carolyn Jones play a duel role as Morticia and her sister Ophelia in The Addams Family and Elizabeth Montgomery play a duel role as Samantha and her cousin Serena in Bewitched I was delighted and impressed and continue to be puzzled by why the talented duel role playing was kept secret, rather than being credited as "Carolyn Jones and Carolyn Jones" and "Elisabeth Montgomery and Elizabeth Montgomery"

Opening To The Parent Trap 1996 DVD

They could do this in silent films. Mary Pickford played mother and son in 'Little Lord Fauntleroy' 1921.

What makes it really work is the amazing skills of a young actor named Hayley Mills. She sold it and made it believable.

Pollyanna music

thank you for all your contributions. I was born in 83'... im almost 40 now I you did a terrific job <3

This is and has been, one of my favorite movies. Hayley Mills has a great acting talent and her films are fun to watch. Love her in ‘Pollyanna’, ‘The Trouble with Angels’, ‘The Moon-Spinners’, ‘Summer Magic’, ‘The Truth About Spring’, and her more dramatic role in ‘The Chalk Garden’.

UB I weeks was the cartoon designer for Mickey Mouse and other cartoons

This is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Disney company including the technicians, actors, and Walt. Hayley was wonderful in the film. She gives a lot of credit in her book to the talent that came with every Disney production she was in. I would also suppose that Hayley got most of her scenes in one shot....but I'm guessing.

Now i kinda wanna know who's Lindsey Lohan's double as well.
