The popular 1960 Disney movie Pollyanna was filmed using the exterior of the McDonald Mansion. Starring Hayley Miles, with Jane Wyman, Karl Alden, Anne Seymour and Agnes Moorehead. Pollyanna is an orphaned daughter, of missionaries, who arrives in the small town of Harrington to live with her rich aunt, Polly Harrington. Pollyanna is a cheerful youngster who focuses on the goodness of life and in doing so makes a wide variety of friends in the community including the hypochondriac Mrs. Snow and the acidic recluse Mr.Pendergast (source: www.wikipedia.com).
