Trivia According to writer and director David Swift, after looking at 362 girls for the part of Pollyanna, they still did not have anyone to play the part. One day, producer Walt Disney's wife Lilly went shopping with Disney studio head Bill Anderson's wife while they were in London, England, on business. The two ladies saw Hayley Mills in Tiger Bay (1959) and thought she was perfect for the role of Pollyanna. The two men didn't listen to them, but they were so persistent that the men finally agreed to watch the movie and immediately decided to cast Hayley. See more »
Goofs In Mrs Snow's bedroom there is a serpentine-fronted chest of drawers prominently displayed in several scenes. One of the drawers in the chest has been slid into place upside-down (this is easily discernible due to the shape of the handles and the position of the key-hole). See more »
