Wills gained her first role at the age of 11 while she was living on a houseboat in Bray, Berkshire. The film was called Child's Play (1954) and she gave the £9 fee to her mother.[2] Deciding she wanted to be an actress she then studied drama at the Arts Educational School and RADA in Londra and quickly became one of the busiest actresses of her generation, early roles included an appearance as Roberta in the second TV version of The Railway Children in 1957. Her other film roles included appearances in Some People (1962) and The Pleasure Girls (1965).[3]
