Juliet Mills, an experienced actor, and her husband, Maxwell Caulfield, are breaking the rules with their long-lasting love story. Even though they are 18 years apart in age, they have laughed, cried, and gone on many adventures together.
When Mills was young, she was a child star who signed with Warner Brothers and acted in musicals like “Carry on Jack” and “Nurse on Wheels.” In 1966, she got her big break.
With the TV show “Nanny and the Professor,” she became very famous. Mills still loves remembering that time. She tells him, “I’m so proud of it.” “It’s amazing how people still recognise me from that show.”
Mills met rising star Caulfield while touring the U.S. with “The Elephant Man.” They were instantly attracted to each other. “It was love at first sight,” Mills says. Caulfield agrees with her and says that their love was “full-blown” and “instantaneous.”
People were surprised when they got married in 1980 because they were so different in age, but Mills’ father, Sir John Mills, said, “It doesn’t matter.” The couple lived in California, which helped them escape a lot of attention.
Now, 44 years later, Caulfield says that Mills kept him young. Their romance adventures keep going, and their fans love reading about them on social media. Caulfield went to the theatre in 2017 and gushed, “Wonderful theatre!”
How did they make their friendship last? Mills says it’s because she found her true love. “When you find someone you want to spend your life with, age, colour, or characteristics don’t matter.”
Caulfield’s loving actions, like letting go of doves in his tuxedo pockets when he asked her to marry him, have become famous. They fell in love, and their story shows that true love has no limits, not even age.
Mills and Caulfield’s long-lasting relationship shows how powerful real love and friendship can be. Despite the odds, they’ve made a lot of moments together that have inspired people all over the world.
