[edit] Discovered by Noel Coward?

We say she was discovered by J Lee Thompson. I have a newspaper clipping from when John Mills died, which says Hayley was "discovered by actor and composer Noel Coward". Which is the truth? -- JackofOz 05:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wording suggestion

The following excerpt (the italics) seems to violate Wikipedia's "neutral point of view" policy:

"...a brief shot of Mills' bare bottom generated a certain amount of controversy .... Though harmless by today's standards, The Family Way hurt Mills' film career."

While an argument can be made that the showing of a "bare bottom" in films is much more commonplace today, it is presumptuous to call it "harmless", especially since "today's standards" is very ambiguous.

Furthermore, the phrase "The Family Way hurt Mills' film career" begs some sort of backup evidence, perhaps a quote or citation.

Based on the above two points, I suggest the entire sentence beginning with "Though" be removed from the article.
