Screenwriter and director David Swift’s 1960 film “Pollyanna” draws on New Hampshire-born Eleanor Porter’s early 20th-century children’s novel of the same name. Portraying the unfailingly cheerful title character catapulted debutant Hayley Mills, daughter of British actor John Mills, to stardom. She won the rare Juvenile Academy Award for her performance.
