Dear Ms. Mills,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I’m a fan of your acting. My favorite Disney movies that you played in were Parent Trap, Pollyanna, and That Darn Cat. In Parent’s Trap I enjoyed the plot about identical twins Susan and Sharon McKendrick who goes to summer camp where they both find out that they are related and switch places to learn about their parents Mitch and Maggie. Also what I liked about the movie was it focused on friendships, how the Sharon/Susan worked hard to end their conflict with each other to help reunite their parents together, and many others. Also In Parent Trap, I really liked the song Lets Get Together because I was amazed how you duet with yourself. Pollyanna was another great movie because I really liked the story about a 12 year old orphan girl named Pollyanna who comes into to town to live with her strict aunt and how she makes a great difference for the citizens in the town. You did an excellent job portraying Pollyanna because I liked on how you made her have great traits like caring about people who are different, being kind with friendly to people when some people are strict, and wanting to make a positive difference. In that movie I liked on how it gave a great message about the being kind and friendly can make a some positive difference when other people aren’t willing to.

Besides your acting career, I really like on how you are an advocate for people with disabilities’ rights. Ms. Mills, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Another thing is that when I struggle with a disability is when I have trouble with friendships due to some friends including peers get judgmental about me being different from other people and lose motivation in myself. Your commitment to be an advocate for people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability. Also your role as Susan/Sharon in Parent Trap and as Pollyanna in Pollyanna gives me motivation to learn the importance of being kind, friendly, and working hard on trying to be positive can make you a better person, Also your role in Disney movies helped me become more interested in watching more Disney movies because they have great symbolisms like the need for friendships when people are from different background, have diversity, learn to improve yourself, have the courage to overcome your struggles, and many others. Some of my favorite Disney movies are Parent Trap, Pollyanna, Darby O’Gill and the Little People, The Hunchback from Norte Dame, Mulan, Frozen, Toy Story, Beauty and The Beast, and many others.

Ms. Mills, I strongly believe that you made a great difference in making Disney movies great to watch. You did an awesome and excellent job making your characters have great traits in them. Your acting and your activism really inspires me to work hard on my disability, learn the need to continue to be friendly including kind, work hard at being positive when there are challenges, and to continue to be a fan of Disney moviesHere is a picture of me at Disney Magic Kingdom as a gift to you for inspiring me and $5 as a donation for you to use to help your activism Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, doing an excellent job acting in Disney movies including making a difference in your activism, and inspiring me. I wish you well on your Broadway Play.

P.S. I was wondering if you could please take the time to answer some of my questions

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
