“There was this man who was a big supporter of mine when I was first starting out in the business,” begins Donna Mills as she touchingly recounts the memory of a late friend during one of the peaks in her lengthy and impressive career. “He was a television producer named Philip Mandelker who produced a lot of wonderful made-for-television movies, one of which was The Women’s Room with Patty Duke and Colleen Dewhurst. It was nominated for several Emmys. He also produced Mae West, Girls of the White Orchid; a number of really fine movies for television. Phil was always so supportive of me. He was a dear, dear friend.”
