About
Hayley Carr was named after Oscar winning actress, Hayley Mills. Coincidently, at age 11, after seven productive years in theater, commercials and television -- Hayley was cast as her daughter in the Disney film BACK HOME. She also received rare, “introductory” billing for the World War II drama, just like Hayley Mills did at the same age. Critical acclaim for BACK HOME helped win Hayley the role of James Caan’s daughter in Bette Midler’s film, FOR THE BOYS, then Richard Crenna’s in the CBS movie of the week, A PLACE TO BE LOVED.
With over 30 commercials, print ads in TIME MAGAZINE, a win on STAR SEARCH and starring roles on THIRTYSOMETHING, ALICE, HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN and BAYWATCH, Hayley was handpicked by NBC’s Brandon Tartikoff for his series, ACT II, and by Aaron Spelling for his weekly cop-drama, HOPE DIVISION.
When it came time for Hayley to transition from child actress to an adult, she looked for roles that challenged her, starring with Paul Bettany and Olivia Williams in the dark comedy MOOD SWINGERS, a film based on the 1975 novel by legendary British author, Martin Amis.
Hayley was also given the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform as the comedic legend John Cleese’s sidekick, live, with fellow Python Eric Idle in The Prince’s Trust Comedy Gala: WE ARE MOST AMUSED for HRH King Charles III’s birthday. It was attended by HRH King Charles III, HRH Camilla, Queen consort and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex.
More recently, Hayley has added the titles writer, producer and creator to her credits with her first pilot, a comedy called UTOPIA, having been optioned by the BBC and her first feature, a Christmas film, B & B Merry premiering on TV in 2022.
