He took his Hollywood stage name from an area (the "mill lands") of the town. He had three sisters. Before becoming an actor, he served in the Household Cavalry.

When his four-year duty service was completed, Milland tried his hand at acting. He was discovered by a Hollywood talent scout while performing on the stage in London, went to America, and signed with Paramount Pictures.
