John Mills, who made his feature-film debut 73 years ago and received a best-supporting actor Oscar for David Lean's 1970 film Ryan's Daughter, died Saturday at his home near London at the age of 97. He generally appeared as the English Everyman, modest, emotionally repressed, and deferential. He was directed by Lean in four other films, In Which We Serve in 1942, Noel Coward's This Happy Breed in 1944, Great Expectations in 1946 and Hobson's Choice in 1954. In the 1960s, he appeared in several films that starred his daughters, Hayley Mills and Juliet Mills. He had been active as an actor to the end.
