Biography

Mills was from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she attended Allegheny High School and won a beauty contest before beginning a career in film. She arrived in Los Angeles in 1925, having signed a long-term contract with Schulberg to appear in his films. In a review of ''With This Ring,'' the '' Lansing State Journal'' wrote that Mills was "rapidly becoming established as one of the leading actresses of the younger players." Mills married businessman William Davey in 1928. He bought her a house and they honeymooned in Honolulu, Hawaii. Mills retired from acting at the time of her marriage. The couple divorced in 1937, and Davey went on to marry actress Gloria Swanson in 1945.
