Born in Egypt, Gillian spent her early years in France, where she was discovered at the tender age of 14 by Roger Vadim, the director of And God Created Woman and Barbarella. Vadim described her as the next Brigitte Bardot and cast her in his version of Dangerous Liaisons, released in 1959. In 1960 at 15, Gillian was cast in the lead of the British film Beat Girl with co-stars Adam Faith, Christopher Lee and Oliver Reed. That same year, Gillian recorded her first records with Henri Salvador, for the French record label Barclay, and In 1961, she appeared at the Olympia Theatre in Paris on the bill with Johnny Hallyday. Serge Gainsbourg wrote his first duet for Hills, which they sang together on French TV in 1963. She was soon signed up to a record label and continued to record her self-penned songs as well as cover versions of the latest pop songs. Then another string of films followed, appearing in Michelangelo Antonioni's first English language film, the classic 1966 Blowup, the film version of John Osborne's Inadmissible Evidence in 1968, The Owl Service in 1969, a television adaptation of the Alan Garner novel, and she replaced Marianne Faithfull in the 1972 horror Demons of the Mind for Hammer Film Productions. Gillian then moved to New York and enjoyed a successful career as a book and magazine illustrator. In recent years her music has been featured in the film Mesrine Part One Killer Instinct with Vincent Cassel, the Season 5 premiere of Mad Men in 2012, and The Queen's Gambit in 2020 and she has just released her new self-penned album Lili, which reflects on her early years aged between 11 and 19.
