Heather Mills Facts

  1. Her mom, Beatrice, spoke several languages and played the piano.
  2. Her dad, John, who was called “Mark”, played the guitar and banjo, won an Evening Standard Award in photography and was a big animal lover.
  3. Heather claimed that they always had either a dog or a cat growing up, and even a pet goose and a white nanny goat that spent a lot of time at home.
  4. Her mom left their home when she was 9 years old. This forced her and her siblings to steal food and clothes because their father couldn’t or wouldn’t support them.
  5. Heather claimed her father was very violent and extremely abusive towards her and her siblings growing up. He, in return, released home videos to show that they were very happy under his wing.
  6. She left home at the age of 14 and sold 3 businesses by the time she was 20. Heather was reportedly living in a cardboard box under Waterloo station in London, England, for 4 months.
  7. On August 8, 1993, Heather and her fiancée were at the corner of De Vere Gardens and Kensington Road in London, England, when a police convoy passed by, and she was knocked down by the last of 3 policemen on the motorcycle. Heather ended up with crushed ribs, lost 6 inches off her left leg, and suffered a punctured lung. The surgical operations later shortened her left leg further, and she ultimately sold the story of her survival and recovery to News of the World, for which she earned £180k.
  8. Heather hired a ghostwriter named Pamela Cockerill to write a book about her experience, titled Out on a Limb (1995). The book was released in the United States as  A Single Step (2002). All of the proceeds went to the charity titled Adopt-A-Minefield.
  9. In 2000, following her leg amputation and finding out the cost of a leg prosthetics, she founded her own Heather Mills Health Trust that delivered prosthetic limbs to people in need, especially to children that stepped on landmines. The organization lasted until 2004.
  10. When asked about advice from Paul’s fans, Heather said, “The word fan means fanatical. So when you go up to Paul, don’t say you’re a fan, say – I’m a great admirer.”
  11. In 2006, after her separation from Paul McCartney, Heather announced she would sue newspapers The Sun, Evening Standard, and Daily Mail. She said they were giving her a treatment “worse press than a p*dophile or a murderer.”
  12. A nanny for Heather’s daughter while she was married to Paul McCarney, filed a claim for maternity discrimination and unfair dismissal on June 4, 2010. It was later dropped, as the judge found Heather acted with genuine care towards her, both as an employer and a friend.
  13. A contemporary British sculptor, Louise Giblin, included her in his body cast sculptures series in 2012.
  14. Since Heather has a large background in skiing, she announced in 2011 that she would compete in the 2014 Paralympic Games. However, on December 17, 2013, it was announced she wouldn’t appear at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia because of her behavior towards the officials.
