Actor

Frances Millard

Wife of early roadshow huckster and exploitation film distributor S.S. "Steamship" Millard and mother of trash filmmaker Nick Millard, Frances produced many of her son's low budget movies and even got the acting bug later in life, appearing in several of Nick's camcorder-shot obscurities like the belated Criminally Insane sequel, the Death Nurse duo and Doctor Bloodbath. After producing and writing a documentary about Howard Hughes, Frances (then well into her 80s!) reinvented herself yet again as hardcore porn star (!!) named Gigi, racking up such credits as The Ultimate Granny Gang Bang, 92 and Still Bangin', Granny Takes a Tinkle and Hey, My Grandmother Is a Whore 14. The ultimate Hollywood success story? You be the judge. She passed away in 2008.
