In Disney's 1961 comedy, the British actress played twins separated in infancy by their parents' divorce. One sister lived in sunny California. The other had a more reserved lifestyle in New England.Like 1986's "Parent Trap II," the third movie premieres on the Disney Channel.

"Both girls, Sharon and Susan, were a part of me," Mills said. "Yes, I do lead two lives. That's exactly how I feel. But that was even more true when I was a child. It takes a while to adjust to a new way of life.

"I think everyone who isn't a twin or a triplet wonders at some time what it would be like to have someone you're so completely in tune with. I got to experience that a little bit when we did the first film. The girl who was my double looked very much like me."
